Hello there.

Im looking to put toghether a small group for a big, long term Dark Heresy compain.
I will be using slightly modifyed v1, I desagree a lot with v2.

For time frame I set it up at M39.950. That mean that there will not be any end of times and menacess EVERYWERE talks. Imperium is stable, there wars here and there, orc infestations, but stable. As much as the proximity of the Eye of Terror can bring.

What the play will be about?

The base setting of Dark Heresy and it's campaigns is mission after mission after the mission... (Basically, until the character reaches ascension it works following the next pattern, character live his life - Inquisition call him - he works for them - go back to his day to day life if he survives). That is not what I intend to do.

The play will be divided between missions and social life of the character (even some smut, as it has it's place in the lore (Slaneesh, Slaneesh) so kinky stuff is possible, but attention to not ending it with corruption points, they are hard to get rid of). I intend to make it play a 60% mission / 40% the rest. I love as GM seeing the evolution of characters as being, and I am ready to be more involved and work on that with my players.

I intend it to be a very long term play, of course, life is being life and I may be absent for some reason, everyone involved in the play will be noticed about big pauses in the play.

What I am looking for is:
- Are looking for 1 more player (For a Male character)
- You are from normal/common peoples of Imperium
- Characters will start with 3000 experience points (I dont buy the initial setting when an organisation such as inquisition will recrute peoples out of kindergarden)
- Inquisition is a myth, a spooky story.
- Your character will be joining Hordo Hereticus.
- (Taken) One psyker MAX (No devination school) and please if you make one, make something out of the ordinary, a psyker with a big flashy banner psyker over it is a good way to get shot at, a lot.
- NO space marines (your characters only saw them on pictures and pix)
- NO Sisters of Battle (If you insist you can, but I will give you your bolter, your power armor and send you out to kill everyone who havent looked the right way on the Aquilla, or who was late for the evening prayer, while the rest of us RP tea drinking)
- NO Mutant (obvius reasons)
- NO Omnimessia Priests (Very difficult to play for infiltration and stuff)
The characters arent super humans, they just barrely make themself stand out from the others, just enouf for someone to get interested.
Teamplay, is a MUST HAVE.

Everything else is okay as long as you can explain it ;)
Plus we will work together on your own personnal introduction into the Inquisition, before putting all of you in one squade.

It will be a long term project, that I plan on starting near the 20th of April.

Players:
- helvorn - Imperial Psyker Completed
- PerpetuallyAnnoyedCleric - Imperial Cleric Work in Progress
- Mimosa - Imperial Guard Completed
- Pumpkin Seeds - Scum Work in Progress
I'm still on my feet, so everything is not lost.

Not for the sake of trophies and awards. For the sake of triumph over evil and meanness! For the purpose of good!

No doubt! No worries! I know the price of victory and the bitterness of defeat.

I would enjoy a Dark Heresy game quite a bit. 

I would enjoy running a psyker ideally from Dusk or a similar world.  My thought is someone haunted more than antisocial and as you say a stereotypical psyker.  I could detail things out a bit more to see if she would be unique enough to not flash 'target' all the time.

What kind of pace are you expecting? Are there any content restrictions planned? I'm guessing the applications are open till the end of April, give or take?

Consider me interesting pending some
Research into the system and lore.

Hi

I expect/hope for a fast passed game. But in the end it will depend of the players. When ready i could post dayly, or even multiple times a day if needed.

For the restrictions, beyond what Ive already wrote before it would be :
- Demon Hunter (For Hordo Hereticus reasons)
- Radical Hand Book (Its okay being borderline, but thats too much)
- Anything overpowered (forget having things like power sword right from the start and such)

And applications are open untill we have 4 players (3 at least).

For characters creation I invite you to pm me your concepts so we can work on the personalisation, the base system for the creation being a bit way too rigid for my taste.

  I'd love to play too, but it looks like you've already got half again what you were looking for.

I will make a list for confirmed players in the first post, so any applications are open so far.

Little update.

Things are going smoother than I've expected, so the game will start sooner, somewhere around the 20/22 of April.

Players involved so far :

- helvorn - Imperial Psyker Work In Progress
- PerpetuallyAnnoyedCleric - Imperial Guard Completed

For the total number of players, I wish to start with 3/4 players, but if there a 5th one interested it would be unfair of me to leave him out of it, so I may consider one more if there is one.

I like the idea of some 'real' life in the midst of the tension of missions.

I'm working up my final touches and equipment for my character sheet.
