Simple question for GMs of WH40K Dark Heresy - do you use maps in your game; ie, do you move figures around a battle map like Pathfinder, or do you and your players just verbally give each other a rough outline of where they are placed?

Movement is not as important as it is in Pathfinder, but some feats or traits (or whatever they are called in Dark Heresy, I can't recall at the moment) are movement-oriented.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

was on telly last night and, although I have seen it before many times, it never ceases to be awesome. Is it historically accurate? No. Is it still phenomenal? Yes.

I have seen the other thread where it is not allowed to make a completely different character at the same level; however, is it allowed to change the name of a character whilst keeping every thing else the exact same? I love my character, but hate his name (although I liked it at the time).

Okay, between your Sinking adventure series and this product, I am quickly becoming a huge fan of your company. Thank you.

I just picked up the first "Bastards of Erebus" part and I was just wondering, approximately how long does it take to run the entirety of this adventure path? I've seen some people mention a year or even longer. Is that true? If you have run it, how long did it take you?

Also, how long should it take to just run through the first "Bastards of Erebus" part?

I'm not intimidated by that length (I think I would actually enjoy that commitment), I was just asking for curiosity's sake. Thanks in advance for your comments!

Since the Bestiary is the only resource that a PFS GM is required to have, does that mean that none of the scenarios currently produced refer to creatures in the Bestiary 2/upcoming Bestiary 3 books?

Thanks in advance!

I recently GMed my first PFS game and I have a question about the use of pre-gens. I printed all of the pre-gens before the game in case a player showed up with no character, but when it came down to offering the players (for a table of 3 people who all had characters) who they wanted to choose as the fourth member of their party, I left out the gunslinger. Not because of bias or hate on the class, but because I am unfamiliar with the weapon mechanics and how "grit" works and the details of the gun feats. I plan to read up on all of that one of these days, but I'm wondering if my action was "legal".

I did explain the above to the players, that I was leaving off the class because of my own ignorance, so they were aware that at a future table, that would be a choice. And they were fine with that, they actually wanted a rogue (I was kind of surprised they didn't pick a cleric).

I just wanted some thoughts and opinions if what I did was wrong. I'd imagine I am going to GM a few more games before I am familiar with the class, so I'd like to keep excluding the gunslinger until that time. Thanks in advance.

A few months back whilst playing a scenario, the GM inadvertently handed me a faction mission that was different from my actual faction. Mistakes were made on both sides as I failed to read the mission carefully, didn't notice the faction leader was different than my normal one, and continued to play the game.

During play, the GM mentioned an item that an individual had that would have completed my actual faction mission. However, as I was not looking for the item, I ignored this information. Later in the adventure, I attempted to fulfil the faction mission given to me by searching a room for another item, but the GM kind of glossed over it by saying something like, "There is lots of stuff in the room" and then the group kind of moved on to something else. I am speculating that the GM knew I missed out on the faction mission belonging to my real faction earlier, didn't realise what I was searching for now, and wanted to move the game along. On my part, I just thought the item I was now searching for was somewhere else (which it wasn't, it was in the place I thought it was).

It wasn't until the next day after I purchased the scenario I realised our mutual error. I was a little bothered that I missed out on the extra PA. Note that I wasn't really angry, I wasn't moderately miffed, I was just like, "Aww man, I could've had one more Prestige Award." I'm pretty sure I would have completed my real faction mission since I remember quite clearly the GM specifically mentioning the item for which the faction was looking.

My questions are: Would there have been any recourse for me afterwards (and by afterwards, I mean by like a day)? Also, has this happened to anybody else before?

Please keep in mind that I am NOT blaming the GM. I failed my perception roll by not even realising the faction on the sheet differed from my own. I am also not lobbying for an additional PA to be awarded, so please don't call me a cheesy munchkin or whatever the term is for a borderline cheater - I know I missed out on the point and I'm okay with that. I now read my faction missions very carefully, so a lesson was learned. I'm just curious to know what others think. Thanks in advance.
