Product Description
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 unsavory 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! The Dark Heresy core rulebook contains everything you need to start your roleplaying adventure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific RPG in the world of Warhammer 40,000, July 31, 2008
This roleplay game set in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe is brilliantly produced and is luckily back in print thanks to a deal between Games Workshop and Fantasy Flight Games. The book is hundreds of pages long and filled with high quality color illustrations and background information embellishing the thoughtfully produced roleplay game rules and extensive background information. The best parts of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay are present like the career system with all of the dark science fiction aspects of Warhammer 40,000 (40K) intertwined and built on top of them. Although the basic system is set up for characters to play henchman in an inquisitor's warband, there are a lot of different types of characters to be played. Coupled with a "gamemaster" and players who have a lot of imagination, this game has great and extensive creative possibilities.

The first print run of Dark Heresy earlier this year sold out extremely quickly due to the great fan reaction to the high quality of the book.

Fantasy Flight Games has a contract to continue publishing Dark Heresy and its supplements and other popular Games Workshop products previously published by Black Industries.

For those interested in the entire Dark Heresy game system, there are several more products due for release throughout 2008, all of which are likely to be available here on Amazon. These include:
-Character Record Pack
-Dark Heresy Game Master's Kit
-Purge the Unclean Adventure Anthology
-Inquisitor's Armoury, Weapons of the Righteous (detailing weapons and equipment)
-Inquisitor's Handbook (player handbook)
-Disciples of the Dark Gods (sourcebook for Chaos)

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest RPG out in quite a while, November 7, 2008
What you see on the market are lackluster games. Nothing special, nothing eye catching. You almost want to give up on the rpg genre. Wait! This is one of the greatest rpgs out this day and age. I've loved the 40K universe for quite some time. The wargame is probably one of the best ones out there, miniature wise, but there was something missing...something that wasn't so close to you. That is what this game does, this game creates a universe so dark and yet so exciting that you cannot help but be excited once again about rpgs. Now I realize that the biggest problem is the cost, the cost for this book along with the other books that partake in this series. But don't let that take you away from a great game experience! The game knows how to make sure you'd enjoy your experience as a gamer, as working for the God-Emperor, fighting the good fight against evil that seeks to destroy through violence and insanity our universe. Play this game, come into the light, and know that there are good rpgs out there once again!

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful Rpg, September 29, 2008
I just read this book, and I have to say "good work!" to the producers.

I gave it just 4 stars just because I think it's a little hard to get the right atmosphere if you're not an expert of WH40k.

The book is amazing, well written and easy to use at the game table. Every aspect of the Inquisition is well described, as the core mechanics of the game. Despite of the huge number of pages, I think it should have a little more focus on Xenos (aliens) and veichles, but in the end this lack does not mean less amusement in the game session.

In the end... get it, you won't regret!
