Hello friends,
So as the title would suggest, I will be starting a DH game in the near future. My regular GM is a little GM'd out and would like a break from all the work and just wants to enjoy being a player. As I am the only other player who has expressed any interest in stepping in, I've been asked to run some Dark Heresy.
Now first off, I am pretty inexperienced in GM'ing, I've run a handful of EotE, for a different, far less experienced group. I'll be taking the reins over for my regular group, and much to my chagrin I didn't jump on the 2E Beta opt-in when it was available (I can't understand why FFG made it for a limited time only??). So I plan on using the OW combat rules with 1E DH in lieu of not having the new beta rules. I hear grumblings that 2E was just a copy/paste of OW anyway..
So I know 1E has it problems, I've heard it echoed a lot on these forums, We also tried a one-shot of DH a few years ago and there was a ton of whiffing. So my question is what is good? What is bad? I am not familiar with DH, but I know a lot of people have done conversion work to improve the weaker aspects of the system. I am hoping to avoid having to learn the old system, just to then learn what doesn't work. How much should I take from OW? Should I just use the core OW rules while only using DH setting material?
I appreciate your advice,
Regards
