Break! Fantasy Flight Games - Dark Heresy 2nd Edition Announcement

 Fantasy Flight Games announced a 2nd edition for the Dark Heresy RPG:

With the significant experience we’ve acquired in developing the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay games, and by listening to thousands of active Dark Heresy players over the years, we’re proud to have crafted a new edition which updates and builds on the original game experience. In this beta, veteran Dark Heresy players will discover a familiar core system that still uses percentile dice to resolve tests, but with updated rules, including:
Streamlined skills that can be used with more than a single characteristic.
Fast and fun character creation, with exciting variety through combinations of home worlds, backgrounds, and roles for almost endless roleplaying possibilities.
The ability to play as an Inquisitor!
New rules for psychic powers, with each discipline gaining its own unique psychic phenomena table.
Talent trees that visually help players plan their character’s progression.
Combat mechanics that give more tactical flexibility and control over performing actions.
Damage and wound rules that make a character’s health something more than just a number, plus lots of great (and gory!) wound effect tables.
Vehicles and vehicle combat as an integral part of the core game.
Easier-to-use NPCs, each with a threat rating so that Game Masters can build suitably challenging encounters.

  1. Can't wait. Was just about to start putting together my Acolytes. Now I know to wait until this is released.
