Dark Heresy Second Edition is a roleplaying game set in the decaying far future of Warhammer 40,000, where players assume the roles of defenders of humanity and embark on hazardous adventures in the darkest frontiers of the 41st Millennium. Players can explore the new Ashkelon Sector and bring to life epic tales where it is always a minute from eternal midnight, and only their combined efforts can defeat those foes that threaten humanity and stave off the end for one more day.
The game is characterized by danger, mystery, and brutal violence, as players are tasked with rooting out threats that imperil all of humanity on the orders of an Inquisitor, at the front lines of a great and secret war. They can never rest, for the multitudes of terrors desiring humanity's extinction are ever-present.
The Dark Heresy Second Edition core rulebook contains everything that both players and GMs need to draft up characters, explore the Ashkelon Sector, develop adventures, and run through a campaign. It provides a comprehensive system for players to immerse themselves in the grim and perilous world of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where the survival of humanity hangs by a thread.
Whether players are investigating heretical cults, confronting otherworldly horrors, or uncovering vast conspiracies, Dark Heresy Second Edition offers a thrilling and immersive experience that challenges them to push the boundaries of their courage and resolve. The game's focus on the darkest corners of the Imperium, where the forces of Chaos and other malevolent entities constantly threaten to overwhelm humanity, creates a sense of urgency and dread that permeates every aspect of the gameplay.
Through the use of detailed character creation, intricate skill systems, and a robust combat mechanic, Dark Heresy Second Edition allows players to craft unique and compelling characters, each with their own motivations, flaws, and abilities, as they navigate the treacherous path of the Inquisition. The game's narrative-driven approach encourages players to engage in deep roleplaying, as they grapple with the moral dilemmas and ethical quandaries that arise in the face of such overwhelming darkness.
The core rulebook also provides a wealth of information about the Ashkelon Sector, including its history, factions, and notable locations, allowing players and Game Masters to fully immerse themselves in the setting and create engaging, dynamic campaigns. Whether they are delving into the archives of a forgotten Adeptus Mechanicus facility, infiltrating the lair of a xenos warlord, or uncovering the secrets of a corrupted planetary governor, players will find that Dark Heresy Second Edition offers a rich and compelling experience that challenges them to test the limits of their heroism and resilience.
