+++ Thought of the day: Through the destruction of our enemies do we gain our salvation +++
As those that paid attention, might have noted reading yesterdays chat log Generic has kindly posted, Gargulec had been inspired by the Emperor to mention Dark Heresy PBF, which led into him being goaded into DMing one. And since he asked me to post a relevant topic for him, even though I do not understand why didn't he do so himself, in my unending kindness I posted one (yes, the very one you are reading) in attempt to get more meat for the grinder, or as some call it - players.
For those of you maggots that don't know: Dark Heresy is a RPG... no, not that kind of RPG, put those Baldur's Gate discs down, we're talking
real RPGs... that has been sanctioned to be used for representation of Warhammer 40.000 world (those that don't know what WH 40k is shall report to nearest Ecclesiarchy station for purification... with promethium), and PBF means Play-By-Forum, or a game in which players write posts describing their actions, while DM post's the results. It's really almost like normal RPG session, only doesn't require to all participants to be in same place in same time, but is slower in exchange.
Either way, our would-be DM has stated that he will be allowing material from core rulebook, and Inquisitor's Handbook, as well from things he called "Astrates supplement" and "Sisters of silence supplement". Since he made me post this topic, I'll take the liberty of stating my opinion and saying that I would advise against those last two supplements: while playing Space Marines might seem fun, it also runs into hight risk of unbalancing the game - as does using other unsanctified third-party material. I know I won't be touching anything except core and inquisitor handbook. As for those, they are readily available at amazon and RPG related places... for those more desperate of you there are other ways, but I won't discuss such heretical methods here - just don't let me chatch you. Also there is a handy
Errata here, read it.
I leave the rest of the talking to our GM, and in the meantime...

Oh, I almost forgot - I highly reccomend
Invisible Castle for die rolls.
