Hello Dark Heresy fans!

I just spent an amazing weekend recently at HeroCon in Glen Burnie, Maryland. I ran a Dark Heresy adventure (“Jurisdiction,” by Sean Schoonmaker) which included some of the forum-goers here at the Fantasy Flight Games forums (thanks, peacekeeper_b!). Much retribution was brought to many heretics, and a good time was had by all.

I also got to play in a Dark Heresy game (“Dark Secrets” by Stephen J. Furlani, also a forum-ite) wherein I played the hard-bitten Arbitrator who couldn’t seem to shoot straight! Dark Secrets was an amazing game with a truly Warhammer 40,000 ending, and I had a fantastic time.

In addition, I got a chance to show folks the new Dark Heresy book, Disciples of the Dark Gods . The reactions were very positive, and I’m very excited about this book myself. In fact, I’ve put together a special downloadable preview of the book! This preview showcases The Beast House, a mysterious organization infamous for smuggling xenos beasts and running underground bloodsport arenas across the Calixis sector. You can download the preview here .

Recently, I went though my enormous stack of White Dwarf magazines dating back to the late 80’s. There’s a wealth of great pictures, battle reports, and more inside those pages that really makes me appreciate the Warhammer 40,000 setting even more. They’re also a great source for inspiration! My only problem now is finding a good place to store them, as the magazines are now currently taking over most of my living room...

 
<<The Next Step>>

Coming soon is more information about Creatures Anathema , a bestiary book for Dark Heresy that includes aliens, beasts, and daemons of the Calixis Sector. I can hardly wait to tell you about some of the really cool bits inside this book, such as the Death world section, or...well, the Inquisition won’t like it if I give too much away too early. Keep your eyes on this space for more about Creatures Anathema soon!
