While it's not 40k Roleplay it is Warhammer Roleplay so this seems to be the best place for it. Preorders are open for the new version of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. You get a PDF in June and physical book is out in July. http://cubicle7.co.uk/pre-orders-open-for-warhammer-fantasy-roleplay/

Is this based on the dice system or does this use good wholesome numbers and numbered dice again?

Liquid Dinosaur posted:Is this based on the dice system or does this use good wholesome numbers and numbered dice again? Warhammer Fantasy 4e is billed as an update and expansion on Warhammer Fantasy 2e rather then the system Fantasy Flight's 3e used. Meanwhile Wrath and Glory uses a Die Pool system. We don't know too many details about the Age of Sigmar RPG. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 07:06 on May 6, 2018 |

AoS is being developed by the WFRP4e people, I would have assumed they'd use the same core mechanic, not Ulisses'.

As has been said, I don't think Cubicle7 even have the rights to use Wrath & Glory's system as they're a completely different company. Pretty sure they have said that AoS RPG isn't going to be using WFRP's d100 system though. Hidingo Kojimba fucked around with this message at 02:25 on May 7, 2018 |

My understanding was that the AoS book would be an expansion to WHFRP.

Yeah, after reading up on the scant information that's available, it looks like AoS will have a different core mechanic to WFRP. I'd assume they'd use something simpler, because AoS is for dumb babbies.

Aside from that GW rebooted Warhammer Quest a while back and set it in the AoS universe, so maybe they'll pillage that for ideas?

Shouldn't Untouchables be immune to Corruption, at least by Chaos? They're not in the rulebook.

Kurzon posted:Shouldn't Untouchables be immune to Corruption, at least by Chaos? They're not in the rulebook. They should be, but they aren't. But then you also have Eisenhorn someone grabbing an untouchables soul and projecting it as an attack at a corrupted Titan, which shouldn't be possible. But he did.

It's not just a thematic problem, there are some awkward rule interactions. For instance, there is a mutation you can acquire that turns you into a daemon-like creature. You get the Daemonic and Warp Instability traits. Now what happens if the untouchable has the Bane of the Daemon talent, which makes it harder for creatures with the Warp Instability trait to remain in realspace? Or the Daemonic Anathema talent, which neutralizes the Daemonic trait?

Would it break the game if I introduced a house-rule that says untouchables do not gain Corruption points?

There's something in one of the books (DH2 core I think) that says that while Untouchables are immune to the soul-taint of Chaos, they can still have their DNA scrambled by it. So if it's really important to you to be "realistic," Untouchables are more immune to those psychological effects you can get every 10 CP than they are to growing thirty arms.

Take a page out of the book for the Sisters of Battle with regards to insanity, however. I believe they don't suffer from Corruption either, but they're still just as prone to going nuts.

Sisters gain insanity equal to the CP they would have gained -1, but they have a bunch of talents that let them channel their crazy into killing people.

It means you're opting out of the Chaos reward/punishment system entirely and trying to bring about the Death of the Imperium for other (arguably purer) reasons. You'd want to amass resources and power anyway though, because the other crusaders are probably going to try to murder you simply out of disbelief.

An honest and upright revolutionary. Believes all this 'chaos' and 'warp' crap is just Imperial propoganda, a belief bolstered by the fact that it never seems to happen around him. It's always conveniently somewhere else. Basically Lenin+Randi.

He thinks psykers are just charlatans because every time he has met one of the so-called psykers and asked them demonstrate their supposed powers, they refuse by claiming he emits "negative vibrations". Classic con-artist evasion tactic.

"No, I do not worship the Dark Gods. I worship an ancient Terran God called Gee-Suits. No, actually worship of him does not involve killing or sacrifices, he is served by charity, and non-violence. Why are you purging me?" I always wanted to do that as a campaign story hook in a Dark Heresy game. Investigators sent to a world where there is allegations of an evil shadow cult. They arrive and find out that some folks found some ancient ruins with texts to a non-violent religion like some sects of Christianity, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc and is practicing it in secret, while also slowly incorporating the ideas into the Imperial Creed to convert the populace at large. Then put the players in the positions of purging heretics that will not fight back, but by doing so will also embolden non-believers on the planet to turn away from the Imperial Creed. I don't think you could do a long sustained adventure on it, but would be an interesting adventure in a longer campaign.

To preach non-violence in the 40k universe is to commit the sin of the T'a""us: the sin of optimism.

You could have that religion empower some minor chaos god. It could have a "hand off" policy with the planet, only really letting it's presence known by protecting the people from outside threats. If nothing else, it would give you some daemons to fight while keeping the populace non-violent.

Feel free to switch the entire system to d20, there's zero chance that'll have repercussions. I'm excited to see what the 4th edition WFRPG looks like, I've got all the 2e books because it came out at I time I had a regular physical group and was something other than D&D. 3rd edition was horrible because it lacked playable halflings and also the dice mechanics looked un-interesting. D100 is a perfectly okay system.

anyone trying to practice earnest, benign, unitarian monotheism in the 41st millenium is bound to attract visitations from 'angels' of Tzeentch or Slaanesh ready to feed on that misplaced hope and excessive naivete

i feel like the appropriate inquisitorial response to an acolyte suggesting, "let's just share our information with these heretics and try to convince them of our perspective" is a hot-shot las beam to the back of the skull
