Product Description
You are an Acolyte in the service of the Emperor's 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.* Fast character creation to get you into the game quickly, followed by a lifetime of possibilities with an expanded advanced careers system.* Dynamic rules for all eventualities that let you handle everything from social interaction to deadly fast-paced combat, psykers and psychic powers to insanity and mutation.* Comprehensive background on the Calixis Sector, the official setting for Dark Heresy written by best-selling Warhammer 40,000 novelists Dan Abnett and Ben Counter.* A galaxy of guns to equip your acolyte, from lasguns to inferno pistols, chainswords to power blades. Pitch your players straight into the midst of dark events with a complete adventure to get you started. The Dark Heresy core rulebook contains everything you need to start your adventure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

 Great System! March 12, 2010

So I only recently got into the Warhammer 40K universe, but have been an avid role player for a while. After looking through this book, I decided I had to have it. I ran our group through the campaign in the back of the book and we had a fun time. Although it was difficult to implement the Tech Priest class into the game. Overall, the different archs that the training gives you allows you to play the same class as someone else but have a completely different feel for who your character is. The mystery of the game allows the players to delve into the game and try to solve a problem, not always by simple martial prowess. It was very funny to see how the group I ran through it solved the problem, even though I thought they were going to die throwing them against it.
The book itself has wonderful art throughout, some of the best I have ever seen in an RPG book. The rules are fairly simple, and overall it is easy to read. This is one of the few RPG books I could sit down and read in one sitting. I love the Psychic power system and have a friend thoroughly scared of the Warp.
The only thing I wish they would have done was put a concise table system for some of the rules (like seen on the Game Masters Kit) that allows for a simple fast finding of some of the weapons, rules, and tables.
Overall I would highly recommend this book if you are looking for something set in the futuristic role play heavy era. It is a lot of fun and has some good horror elements to it.

This book is an excellent addition to any gamer's library. The artwork is fantastic, the universe interesting, and the mechanics sound and simple. The only thing marring an otherwise perfect rating is the number of errors in the book. These errors are later corrected by Fantasy Flight in a downloadable pdf, but it is a pain to have to look in two places to make sure the right rules are being used.

The game mechanics are simple and easy to learn. Game-play flows nicely. The setting is rich, and full of opportunities for intense role-play. However, I wouldn't recommend for anyone under the age of eighteen, as the setting is extremely dark ... graphically so. But for older, advanced players, it is a fine game.
