To kick of a series of campaign handouts for my trusty Dark Heresy crew.
This is the transmission I used as the Mission Briefing by the players’ Inquisitor. Also the start of a lengthy campaign.
Originally I created this just as a B&W word doc but using the background of the 'Dataslate' download over at Dark Reign, I created a more polished version to host over on my website www.postwarvandal.com
I originally intended the site to be just an online storage area for my 3D projects but a friend of mine was eager to use it as a sandbox to hone his webdev skills. He also created a subsite for our collective roleplay madness and we plan to use it as a log for our ongoing campaigns. Getting a group of 4-5 working people together can be quite the quest in itself sometimes. Busy schedules, work and other social obligation mean it can sometimes be several weeks ro even months between sessions so it seemed like a good idea to have some sort of an online 'depository' to catalogue the handouts, session/progress summaries, side information and the occasional flavour text. That way the players can have a recap whenever they feel like it and it's also a great opportunity as a GM to keep to fire burning. ^^
If you feel like it, don't hesitate to check out the site. Cutlass' RIFTS post was quiet awasome to have it live at a game session.
And here's the link to just the pdf I made.

While the Inquisitor and his close retinue are engaged in a cloak & dagger game on the capital planet Scynthilla, the Acolytes are requested to follow up on an urgent and important lead that might uncover the reason for the Mechanicum’s secrecy concerning the colony Naduesh and why they expunged all Imperial records of its existence.
