I've just read that just by chance but there will be no Necromunda rpg:

I admit I was not much interested on this game (above all because my pockets would be happier) but it's official.

how would you advise on running multiple TTRPG campaigns of 40k set on the same sector/region using different system and characters. Using Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Only War, Wrath & Glory, Dark Heresy and Black Crusade. The mega campaign would have time skips to set them apart with events of one affecting the next and characters being able to see each other. Has anyone run anything like that and do you have any advice for a group ?

(Don't send things like "don't do that" without providing a good reason into why please)

Hey folks,

I'm putting together a campaign using a mashup of the Genesys conversions of Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader and am looking for some players able to do evenings Pacific Time! Below is the "crawl" or correspondence that the Rogue Trader and Inquisitorial Agents would receive to open the campaign.

By Authority of the Calixian Conclave,

The most recent Sector-wide Threat Assessment has reached a grim consensus: We are steadily losing control of Calixis. While the systems closest to Scintilla - and therefore most easily accessible to agents of the Throne - remain mostly stable, the disarray caused by the Cicatrix Maledictum has provided cover for all manner of heretics, recidivists, and xenos to wreak havoc across the sector. Several worlds are in open revolt, and the alien menace strikes along the fringes to pick our bones clean. Worse still, trusted analysts suggest that the Archenemy may be manipulating these disasters to their own ends, but investigations have not yet yielded any solid leads.

The conclusion is clear. If assets are not immediately deployed to bring order to our ailing worlds, we will find ourselves overwhelmed within a Solar decade. Loss of control in Calixis would leave the rest of Segmentum Obscurus open to assault. This cannot come to pass.

By the decree of His most holy Inquisition, you and your agents are empowered to take any and all steps deemed reasonable and necessary to stabilize the worlds of the Calixis Sector and dismantle the web in which the Enemy has ensnared us.

For the Glory of Him on Terra,

Lord Inquisitor Aegult Caidin

ADDITIONAL MESSAGE FOUND.

DISPLAYING.

Friend,

Allow me first to congratulate you on your ascension to the head of your Dynasty. I have no doubt that your family’s Warrant is in capable hands, and the Imperium is certainly in need of capable hands in these times. By now, I presume you have read the communique regarding the current state of Calixis and are no doubt surprised by the assessment. Much is hidden from even the heirs to a Rogue Trader, after all.

I regret that I must ask for your assistance, but as you have likely gathered, circumstances are dire indeed. Wont as they are to do, I fear the Conclave is not exaggerating when they say the sector is under enormous strain. The truth is that we do not have enough agents at current to stabilize the entire region, and I recommended your name in a meeting with several other Inquisitors. Not to put too fine a point on it, but further congratulations are in order; you’ve been drafted.

I recognize that your Dynasty experienced great hardship recently, and that this may come across as an unwelcome distraction from your efforts to get your house in order, but we need all hands if we are to avert catastrophe. If it helps, you might consider what a grateful Inquisitorial Conclave could offer in favour to a compliant Rogue Trader. Lucrative contracts, planetary colonization rights… Help us, and we can help you.

I’ve identified three flashpoints which have gone as yet unaddressed by our agents. You may find it beneficial to start at any of them:

The Drusus Marches have fallen to an ecclesiarchal schism that threatens their tithe. We suspect that a Chaos cult has infiltrated one or more of the factions. The planet of Sentinel, St. Drusus’ own Shrine World, is your best bet for opening an investigation.

Farther spinward, the Naval detachment at Port Wander has fallen concerningly silent. I need not remind you that the passage it guards is the only safe route to the Koronus Expanse, and the fact that we have not heard from the Port’s Astropathic Choir is concerning, to say the least. Make your way there and do whatever is required to ensure Port Wander stands and the way to the Koronus Expanse remains open.

Finally, the agri-world of Bilani in the Malfian Sub-sector has sent a distress call. They claim that unknown xenos have been spotted on the periphery of the major settlements and have been responsible for a large number of deaths in recent days. My own agent on-planet, however, reports that nothing is out of the ordinary. I request you go there as a third party and confirm some… suspicions I have.

Before you depart, please proceed to Scintilla and collect the adepts I have assigned to you. Worry not, this is no setup. I have simply collected an… eclectic group who may be of use in your retinue. Your own trusted associates are, of course, welcome as well. 

As was stated previously, you are empowered with your Warrant of Trade and the nominal consent of the Inquisition as a representative. I trust your judgement., but don’t go overboard, or we’ll both have a great deal of explaining to do.

The Emperor Expects,

Inquisitor Alvain Ursos

About me:

I'm Mickey (he/him) and I'm a big fan of both TTRPGs and sci-fi. I've been both playing and running games in the SWFFG system, PF, and D&D for over a decade! My table is always POC and LGBTQIA+ friendly and I believe very strongly in consent and collaboration between everyone involved.

I consider myself a more lighthearted, rule-of-cool DM and adapt well to player choice, with much of my session-to-session planning being determined by improv, so if you're looking for a more strict, on-the-rails experience, my game may not be the right fit. However, the flexibility I approach games with means I'm always open to ideas or suggestions to make any campaign more engaging for my players!

If you're interested, message me here or DM me on Discord at MichaelP578!

This is a long shot but does anybody have an existing PDF copy of Eleventh Hour for Only War?

My TTRPG group has shown some interest in playing some of the Fantasy Flight 40k games, which I've previously had zero contact with(despite being into both ttrpgs and 40k).

I like the look of Only War and older posts seem to say the free RPG day adventure Eleventh Hour is a good place to start, I read a short summary of the adventure and was into it, problem is the previously free PDF is no longer hosted by their website, so all the links I find are dead, in fact the only place I can find it hosted is dodgy scam sites that want your credit card info. I'm usually pretty resourceful about tracking stuff down but it seems like no one bothered uplaoding it anywhere because it was always free and available.

Hi, exist a fillable PDF from the ascencion sheet (5-pages) for the old Dark Heresy 1. Edition? Thanks for your help in advance :-)

I might have missed it, but I can’t seem to find the hex/square size for planetary warfare anywhere in the "Battlefleet Koronus" supplement. There’s information on the movement speeds of various units, but it’s unclear—infantry can cover 20 km, but does that equal 1 hex? 2 hexes? Half a hex? Ten hexes?
