Dont Write Campaigns!
Written by Skallagrim Grimkjellson   

Originally written by "Temple" on another forum, for a completely different RPG. Reworked by Skallagrim to make it Dark Heresy friendly.

Funny this game actually has a rulebook!
Written by James covell   

When introducing new players into any RPG the GM must do as much as he can to get the players to understand the world in which they are immersing themslves into. He must discrbe each setting, each npc, every aspect of the world and how it's people/xeno's live and thrive. He must have a complete knowledge of the world in which he is placing his PC's, not to metion the rules.
