Virtual Tabletop Dark Heresy Game available PDF Print E-mail
Written by Wolph   

For quite some time there is an awesome tools available to support rpg over the internet: RPtools. The flagship of RPTools is Maptools which primary function is to create a virtual platform whereupon rpg-ers can play. This can either be accross the world or at the same table with a screen.

One of the great functions is that you can create maps with it, very swiftly and to the point. Anothergreat function is that it supports macros which in turn enable you to enrich the game. For the last couple of months I've been working with the heavy support of an experienced Maptool coder, on a framework to fully supports the Dark Heresy game. 

I cannot say that it is finished, likely something like this is never finished, it is however developed enough to support a full game. I can testify that even without the developed framework Maptools is an awesome tool for GM's check it out.:

hmm I thought I edited the article later on, but something must have gone wrong.

A more up to date version of the Framework can be found here.

I will keep uploading updates to that address.

I can't get the Framework to run.
I load it as a campaign (right?) and it says it can't read the code.

05/03/2010 | FFG Ross Watson

Becoming a Space Marine and Styles of Play Greetings, Deathwatch fans! My name is Ross Watson, Lead Developer for Deathwatch. This is the first of many designer diaries that present a number of my thoughts (and those of others on the Deathwatch design team!) about the Deathwatch RPG.

04/03/2010 | Chapow!

The  Necron menace is one of the greatest threats that a human may face.  Against all but the most well-equipped parties, each individual Necron is an all but undefeatable opponent - impervious to most weapons and psychic effects, and wielding weapons that can vaporize a man in full armor with a single shot.   I have included all the Necron units from Codex: Necrons (4th ed.) except the Necron Lord, the Monolith, and the C'Tan.   The suffix (x2) after a stat represent [ ... ]

The Hunter-class destroyer, although based on a design long available to almost all Space Marine chapters, was pioneered primarily by the Dark Angels, whose deep distrust of other factions within the Imperial hierarchy made acquisition of vessels from shipyards and forgeworlds far more problematic than for most other chapters. As such, the Dark Angels chose the Hunter-class destroyer as the most viable counterpart to the Imperial Navy’s Cobra and maintains large flotillas of the vessel i [ ... ]
