Contemplating the future of Dark Heresy...

One more week without news!

A bit impatient? It isn't as though they haven't published anything in a year and the game is far from dying out - just wait and see.

More then a little impatient. This time I say FFG does not deserve such.

But if you aren't interested in Deathwatch or Rogue Trader...

wait and ye shall recieve, i mean its not like they didnt just finish off a three part adventure series or anything...oh wait THEY DID!!!. and they wont turn DH into a card game like Warhammer fantasy, i think they know how much they would lose from it.

I think you'll find a lot of gaming companies starting to get reluctant to share news from about now until say the beginning of August.

If I remember correctly there is a large convention then when a lot of gaming companies like to announce stuff and show off their new ideas.

yep, cant wait for Gencon, it makes my entire year

I impatiently check the ffg site every ((american)business) day for news of new DH stuff. I suspect they're either waiting for gencon or this big 40k Do they're having late June.

I immagine the big GenCon thing this year (from FFG at least) will be the rather obvious Deathwatch! (yum!)

Since I consider the "sister games" books to be Dark Heresy suplements with alternate covers I am not hurting that bad right now. Not that the cravings are lacking. GIVES US THE PRESSSCIOUS! PLEEEESE, IT BURNSES US! GIVE ME PRESSSCIOUS! Ahem... So yes, we eagerly await news of future releases. Perhaps a Vehicles Codex? Calixus Sector Threat Preparedness Audit: Imperial Guard and Battlefleet Calixus? Red Redemption Cookbook? Planets of the Calixus Sector: Inquisitorial Travel Briefings?

Since many Imperial citizens are illiterate perhaps Portraits of Power and Influence: Hotties of the Holy Inquisition, a Holographic Record ? Oh crap, something just smashed through my hab-door, gotta go! *BANG! thud*

We are only able to game twice a month (three times if we are lucky) and each session is 5-6 hours, so we are slowly burning through the Dark Heresy game, but at this pace, we still have a long way to go (plus the other games we run in-between this game). So, I am not impatient (well, it would be nice to game once a week, but I would have to give up too much).

As far as them turning the 40k rpg games into what Warhammer 3rd Ed has become, I am not that concerned. It will be a while before they do that (if it was the route they were going to take). We have not played it yet, but despite my misgivings about it, I keep hearing good things, so until I run it, I can't judge it properly.

One thing that would be nice for the 40k games would be weapon cards, but I am going to work on making a weapon sheet with bullet trackers (like that one sheet that someone made for the Serenity rpg). I have already made a "Data Slate" looking inititave chart for my GM that also has NPC damage trackers at the bottom (he laminated it and uses dry erase pens for it). I kind of copied that magnate sheet that Pathfinder put out.

Couple of things to consider:

A) FFG don't release news about a new product until shortly before its release, at which point they start giving us extracts 'n stuff about it. They have very good reasons for keeping quiet until then.

B) Dark Heresy isn't a new game. At this point distributors won't buy more than a few supplements a year for it. So you can expect a bit of a wait between releases.

Combine these two factors and you get reasonably long periods of time between announcements. If you think that's bad, you should see the nerdrage over on the White Wolf forums - they haven't had a new print product in months.

I feel for you, my friend. Sorry you can't game any more than that. I will not complain again about this....
