So, Only War - the most eagerly anticipated supplement to Dark Heresy in over a year- has been re-purposed into a seperate game. Having that rug pulled out from under me- combined with the Knowledge Is Power thread being nearly a year out of date- has me wondering: what coud be next for DH ? Assuming that the game is not being written off by FFG, of course...

Since, as a GM, I buy supplements mainly as tools to cut down on prep time, and the most time-consuming aspect of the game is detailing new worlds, my vote is for a Calixis Sector Sourcebook - either one big book, or a series of medium-sized books detailing each Subsector.

I'd really like to see an Ordo Xenos book to finish up the set, a mechanicus supplement would be nice as long as it doesn't turn into another core game (cheap shot!)

But I agree with Adeptus, a Malfian Subsector book would be EPIC- I don't think they could fit the entire sector into one book, so one for each sub-sector would be the best thing ever.

I would like to see some Setting books for DH since i think we need them. I would also prefer Sub-sector specific books as i feel like they can go into greater detail about this area than a sector wide book would be able to (this also gives FFG more books to produce and sell).

After that and Ordo Xenos book would be apreciated, detailing new Xenos races and maybe expand on some of the old ones (like the anti Imperial ones in Creatures Anathema). Also i love Ordo Xenos as much if not more than Ordo Malleus so i would buy this instantly.

A Mechanicus book would be awesome aswell, new implants, weapons and random gear. But with the way Only War went i can easily see Admech go the same route (it certainly would make more sense to me anyway).

If possible a Puritans Handbook could be interesting to me but i have no idea how to do it.

I'd love an Ordo Xenos book. They're my favourite Ordo, and the one that's the least covered. That would be great.

BYE

I like both ideas of a Xenos book and one detailing the sector. with a breakdown by sub-sector if not by planet.

maybe they could have released only war as a supplement that gave each a combat heavier alternate like, much like the sisters of battle in the blood of martyrs, yeah i like seeing new stuff come out, but Only War looks like some home brew games i have seen where DH is played as a hack and slash

A Mechanicum hanbook, followed by a Calixian Psykana supplement. I would also like a sub-sectoral survey supplement.

I'll add my voice to the call for an Ordo Xenos sourcebook. I currently play Ordo Hereticus, but when this campaign wraps up, I'll probably go with Ordo Xenos for the next one- mainly to faciltate cross-overs with Deathwatch . I think it would be fun to have a campaign where everyone has characters in two groups: a party of DH mortals do the investigation and stealth work, locating the prime targets; and then a party of Space Marines to unleash Hell on the target...

Ehem, People keep asking about a Mechanicus supplement. Something I could see as applicable to both DH and OW, and event RT to a lesser extent so what are the chances that it this (and other future supplements) are going to be designed for multiple games?

Perhaps it will be the next stand-alone (but compatible) game?

"The Quest for Knowledge" or "Tech Heresy" or summat ...
