Knights of Askellon. Ancient Knights - (Dark Heresy)

         - **NORWEGIAN GM** 

THIS CAMPAIGN IS FOR INVESTED ROLEPLAYERS WHO ENJOY DELVING DEEP INTO A ROLE, VOICE ACTING AND STAYING IN CHARACTER, AND ENJOY MAKING AN ASS OF THEMSELVES.

THE BEST 40k CAMPAIGN ON ROLL20. BEEN GOING FOR YEARS.

CAMPAIGN TYPE: This is a continuous, open world, RP-heavy campaign. It is run by the players, with complete freedom in where they move and what choices they make within the mission's parameters, which gives players a lot more responsibility. When a mission begins, the players can move to any location and attack the problem (or NPC's) in any way you choose. Players are like actors who are improvising a play, rather than competitors who're trying to beat the game. Combat encounters are not commonly pre-generated by the GM, but rolled live based on the party's subtlety score and success in the investigation. There is no arbitrary combat difficulty to overcome by tweaking the characters to be good at combat - investigative skills and planning matters a lot more than combat skills. This is a detective RPG.

CAMPAIGN TONE: The campaign has a cinematic, violent and realistic tone (with the occasional joke) which fits better with the 40k universe than the more casual tone that many new GM's run with, with more out-of-character talk and the players trying to "win" the game. That can be fun for a session or two, but quickly runs out of steam and gets boring for the GM. I want to be entertained as much as the players, so our sessions are all about teamwork. We don't discuss rules during the session.

You are an Acolyte in the service of the Emperors' Inquisition. You stand in the front line of a great and secret war where your duty is to hunt out the foul stench of heresy, the vile alien, and the twisted influence of Chaos. You will tread where others fear, venturing to distant planets, ancient space hulks and the unsavoury depths of the under-hive.

You will never know fame nor reward, yet if you stand resolute your deeds will be whispered to the God-Emperor of Mankind and your name will be revered for millennia.
