Book Reviews of Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Dark Heresy
Book Review: Finally a 40k RPG
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is easily worth the $50 retail price tag, let alone the major discount you'll get here.
It's chock full of incredible background material on the 40k universe. Oh, and there's a pretty darn good RPG in there too, that isn't a crapped out d20 clone.
Black Industries is shutting down it's RPG side, and the last books out will be shipped in September (So we're still getting the Inquisitor's Handbook/Armory, the adventure, and the heretic sourcebook). And who knows, perhaps this will be the one that turns it around. They're completely sold out of the book at the moment, and didn't even keep enough for their own website.
Book Review: Fantastic Quality - Fantastic Game
Summary: 5 Stars
I will keep this a bit short and sweet - but for the cost of this Hardcover book you are getting WAY more than your monies worth. The quality of the game, material, printing, literally everything about this game is fantastic.
If you are a WH40k fan and you are into RPGs as well - this is the game for you. Black Industries has cancelled the game - but FFG (Fantasy Flight Games) is picking it up and they have very high production standards. I am looking forward to playing this long term.
I was very impressed with every aspect of this product.
Book Review: Roleplaying has never been this intense.
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything about Dark Heresy is very well done. The d100 mechanics used for skill checks/combat is very well written and quite functional. The character generation includes some very nice features such as history generation. Most of all, the career path system for advancement is well conceived and well executed. The book has been a joy to read and will be a permanent addition to the short list of RPGs that I play regularly.Book Review: Dark Heresy not Going Anywhere
Summary: 5 Stars
A review here states that that the publisher, Black Industries, is being shut down. This is true, but they have just announced that all BI product lines have been licensed to board game maker Fantasy Flight Games.
So if you decided to pass on this earlier because of the impending doom of the product line, you may want to give it a second look. Dark Heresy won't be disappearing along side Black Industries.
Book Review: Dark Heresy
Summary: 5 Stars
This RPG book is FANTASTIC! I am so happy to have been able to get my hands on a copy of this book. Not only is the book itself physicaly beautiful and an example of top notch production, but the game is fun and easy. No matter what you pay for this book, it is worth every penny. Black Industries closes down their RPG section forever in September... be sure you get a copy of this book for yourself!
