This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This is off topic C.Jay but...

In Australia, when you say 'football' do you mean American Football or English Football?

Quote from: WarthurThe nuance I'm getting from Koltar's post is that, by the standards of the various demonstration games that have been run in Koltar's shop over time, Dark Heresy seems to be one of the more successful ones. Is that correct, Koltar?

It went over VERY well - Yes, I'd have to say that.
 Both of those Sundays I didn't have to work - I had meetings connected to a local convention that I had to be at. But when the meeting got done - I stopped by the store curious as to how the game went over.

The first Sunday - 7 to 8 players having a damn good time with probably an hoyr left to go. They were really into it. My manager ran a suggested adenture Scenario that had been posted to the web.  I walked around the Mall, came back to the store....and even tho the game session was over, the players were lingering  and adding experience points (correct term for DH?) and buying equipment for their next aedventure.

 Last weekl, my manager ran an adventure that he had outlined/written up himself. Again I stopped in about an hour before the store closed - game session was over this time....but a few players were hanging around and they said all 6 or 7 that played had a good time.

Probably helps that my manager LIKES the Warhammer 40K universe and knows it pretty well.

All I know is we had happy customers after both game sessions.  So thats cool with me.  
WAIT!! Realize its actually been THREE game sessiions  - that convention meeting that I go to is every other week. So, they've actualy had 3 successful game sessions where they had a good time.

In Melbourne, he would mean Australian Rules:



But who knows what those Sydneysiders mean...
The past lives on in your front room
The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home

Generally we use it as a broad, umbrella term, taking in Soccer, Aussie Rules, Rugby League, Rugby Union, American, whatever.  Kind of like athletics, swimming or cycling can cover many types of events.

Confused?  We certainly are.

You can usually assume we're not talking about American, at least.  It has no following or presence out here to speak of.  We never really sure what to call it.

After playing DH and then playing video games like Gears of War DH characters are generally more badass.

Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

Congratulations you put up another game trailer for yet another game, not even Gears of War to try and prove a point.  I mean hell the GoW2 trailer is out now you could at least have put that up.

Fuck your an idiot and you continue to prove it every chance you get.

The bottom line though is that this fantasy world you live in where DH characters are wimps doesn't exist.   It also falls perfectly in line with the 40k mini game, the majority of fiction and most video games you've put up.

Its not the winning, its the taking part.

Only if you count 'winning' as 'getting your mouth shat in by everyone who stops by'.

You 'win'.

Things I've learned:


1. There's no problem so big that exterminatus can't handle.

2. There's no reason to let anyone you deal with believe that you *can't* call down exterminatus. As far as they're concerned, they're dealing with the Emperor's will incarnate.

3. Heresy comes in many forms. Sometimes it's hiding the truth. Sometimes it's protecting a loved heretic. Sometimes it's openly calling into question the actions of another PC inquisitor. All these problems can be solved by the healing power of melta.

4. There are few problems that can't be solved by guns. Enemy far away? Longarm. Enemy close? Full-auto combat shotgun. Enemy taking cover? Grenade launcher.

5. There's absolutely no reason for anyone under suspicion of heresy to possess weaponry. If they will not hand over the weaponry, they are defying the will of the Emperor, and thus show their true colors.

6. Armor. Get used to it. Love it, learn it.

7. One squad will be sufficient.

8. The Emperor has dictated your squad's weaponry.
