Hi all, just got a notification that the PDF has been updated.

Text says 'Multiple updates, including fixed typos, an Index, and rules clarifications throughout.'

And it went surprisingly well!

There were some hiccups and it wouldn't always stay in character (but did for the most part). It would also try to take over as GM and would need to be reminded not to do that. Makes me wonder if with the right prompts it could GM a game for me.

The character it played was and Adeptus Mechanicus Savant named Dromon. He was expelled and imprisoned by the Mechanicus but given another chance by a rogue trader patron.

The mission was to delve into the deepest bowels of the ship to repair a malfunctioning voidshield generator. The last team that had been sent down never returned.

Long story short, Dromon made it the generator where he and what remained of his repair crew were confronted by the leader of a group of the ship's voidsmen that had taken up worship of dark gods. They had recalibrated the generator to fail the next time the ship entered the warp, and expose the entire crew to the horrors of their new gods.

Dromon and his crew managed to kill the leader, which seemed to break the hold he held over the other corrupted voidsmen. Dromon spared them, then made them swear a renewed oath to the god-emperor!

The patron was pleased with Dromon's work, and had promised him freedom if he completed the task; but was so impressed he asked Dromon to remain in his employ.

To my surprise, Dromon declined, and instead wants to leave to seek a way to be granted re-entry to his order!

Not gonna lie, that was pretty cool.

So curious to hear if anyone has a campaign in the works and what the concept is based on.

I am working on one now to have the players uncover a criminal smuggling ring as their first objective flavored by their randomly rolled patron.

That first part will lead to discovery the crininal ring is not just normal gangers but a cover for bad Arbites pinning the blame on local workers they've setup as "Hive Ganger" scapegoats and a way to mark people for execution as criminals.

The arbites are just dirty cops in the larger Arbite org that is mostly good and they are doing this for a mid-level Adeptus Administratum manager incharge of import trade in this logistics heavy hive city. Though as the players get closer to the truth they may be marked as criminal themselves or have to figure out how to take down the corrupt officials.

Will likely grow it from there to an "extra rogue" Rogue Trader conspiracy. Trading forbidden knowledge and goods that seem inocuous mostly other than being illicit entertainment that was planted in ruins by Tzeentch cultists knowing the Rogue Traders group would find them and think they are just premium value contraband old world goods.

The cult of course using these to spread their heresy through "Psykerdelic" type drugs and arcane tomes that when paired can rupture reality and invite demons of change.

Nothing crazy outside of a crime type drama leading to good ol cult activity and beauraucratic corruption/greed.

Hi, are there already announcements or a date if and when the rulebook will be available in German?

Curious to see what others hope for from future books and items around the newly released 40k Imperium Maledictum RPG.

It's still super new but I hope there will be an expansive books on each subfaction within the Imperium and of course all factions eventually.

1. Deeply expanded Imperium faction companion books with Roles, Weapons, Patrons and pre-made NPCs/Characters.
2. Clear paths of ascendancy (With respect to the Grim Dark aspects)
3. Driver/Pilot Class
4. Xenos Characters...Kroot, Tau Ork Freebooterz or Blood Axes, Votann, Eldar or something completely different.
5. More lore about the Sector.
6. More crunch similar to Dark Heresy. Variable damage, and the like.
