Warhammer 40k Black Crusade

Hey folks! So me and my gaming group have recently become interested in trying out the Black Crusade RPG from Fantasy Flight games. In case you're unfamiliar with it, this is an RPG in which you play a Chaos Heretic to the Imperium of man, either as a Human, or a Chaos Space Marine. After having read up on the rules, we are almost ready to play, with the last touches of Character creation being finished up. As a good portion of my regular RPG group doesn't play Warhammer 40k or have much interest in its history or universe, there is only going to be a few of us playing. Brennan, Todd, Ryan, and Myself. I will be starting as GM, but may swap out in the future. Because there are only 3 players, I've decided to run the first "adventure" along with a GMPC in order to help shore up their numbers a bit and give them some help in combat.

So, why should you care? Excellent question! You should care because I will be bringing the action to you! We'll start with a page for each character, detailing their history, appearance, personality, fighting style, relationships, and any other information that may become relevant. These pages will be edited whenever something changes, so you may want to check them out as the story progresses as well.

The other thing I will be doing is writing up detailed recaps of the sessions as they happen. Sort of like battle reports, but a bit more intimate. These will include the story, the actions the PCs make, as well as some GM notes from myself, talking about things that may be interesting of fun to know, such as strange inter-party debates, or amazing dice rolls (whether for good or ill)

Now, keep in mind that this is our first time playing this system, and while we are all quite experienced with RPGs (D&D 3.5/Pathfinder being our games of choice) we aren't completely familiar with this system yet, so mistakes almost certainly will be made.

So with this in mind, I urge you to stay tuned, and if you like what you see, maybe try this or one of the other RPGs out for yourself. Make sure to leave comments and suggestions to help us become better players, or make the story more interesting!
