OH HECK YEAH!!! FFG Announces Dark Crusade RPG

So you like the dark side eh?  Fantasy Flight Games thinks lots of us want to roleplay as servants of the Ruinous Powers.  Look what’s headed our way…

via FFG: (go and look for even more details)

I swear to make war on the Imperium and its people, and I will go to my grave tearing down the walls of that benighted, decadent, and foolish empire. It is not I, in the end, who have betrayed the Imperium; it is the Imperium who has betrayed me. It is the Imperium who has betrayed us all.
     – Commander Phineas Gage, Master of the Voidborn Deserters

Puppets of the Dark Gods

Black Crusade is a remarkable addition to Fantasy Flight Games’ popular Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay line, offering players an entirely new perspective on the conflict between the Imperium of Man and the forces of Chaos. This groundbreaking concept delivers the unprecedented opportunity to play as a Disciple of the Dark Gods, whether as a Chaos Space Marine or a human Servant of Chaos.

One common factor between Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, and Deathwatch is Chaos, the ubiquitous antagonist responsible for much of what defines this immersive setting. But with Black Crusade, players can examine this exciting universe through an entirely new lens. Who are the characters, and what set them on the path of corruption? Are they willingly in league with the enemies of humanity, or are they merely the deluded slaves of forces far beyond their comprehension? More importantly, where will their paths lead them? Those chosen few who escape the obscurity of death or the horror of mutation may even earn the ultimate sign of their master’s favor: ascension to daemonhood.

Black Crusade offers players a chance to explore the depth of this universe in a unique new way, and it gives Game Masters of all four Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay titles the ultimate toolkit to create engaging new villains.
