In the Shadows of the Hive: A Dark Heresy Campaign
"The Hive never sleeps. Its heart beats to the rhythm of industry, its veins flow with filth, and its soul is drowned in corruption. In its depths, where the air itself can kill, life is a cheap commodity, and whispers of heresy are as common as the rising smog. This is where you will tread—among the broken and the damned, tasked with uncovering the rot festering in the shadows. Be warned: the Hive does not forgive, and it never forgets."
Welcome to In the Shadows of the Hive, a play-by-post Dark Heresy 2nd Edition campaign. Set in the sprawling underbelly of a Hive City, this game immerses you in the Grimdark world of Warhammer 40k—a universe of unrelenting darkness, oppression, and intrigue. Prepare to uncover corruption, confront horrors, and wrestle with the price of loyalty to the Emperor.

What to Expect:
- A Rich, Atmospheric Story: This campaign delves into the grim realities of life in the Imperium, blending investigation, combat, and morally gray choices. Themes of corruption, crime, and heresy will take center stage, with twists that pull you deeper into the Hive's secrets.
- Adult Themes: Expect violence, bloodshed, and the grim realities of the Imperium's underbelly. The campaign embraces a mature tone, so be prepared for dark and challenging content.
- Character-Driven Narrative: Your choices will shape the story. From alliances to betrayals, your actions will ripple through the Hive, for better or worse.
- Play-by-Post Format: Posts will be descriptive and collaborative. This format allows for deep character development and storytelling but requires patience and consistency from all players.
- Dark Heresy 2nd Edition - Core Rulebook: We will be using the Dark Heresy 2nd Edition Core Rulebook only, meaning no supplements.
- Rule of Cool always applies: While the game will be using Dice Rolls, Difficulties and challenges, as always, the rule of cool applies. Be creative, within the constraints of the game.
What I Expect from You:
- Commitment: This is a slow-burn story requiring regular participation. While life happens, consistent engagement will keep the game flowing smoothly.
- Engagement with the Grimdark Tone: Characters should reflect the oppressive, brutal nature of the 40k universe. Flaws, moral struggles, and tough choices are encouraged.
- Collaborative Roleplay: Work together to create a compelling story. Respect your fellow players and maintain open communication to ensure everyone feels comfortable with the game's darker themes.
