So I bought Dark Heresy Second Edition

[Jaçinto]

I picked up the book at the store as I have been wanting to get into 40K rpgs for a while now and this was recommended to me. I gave it a skim and it looks pretty good but I would like someone, or a group of someones, to help me learn how to play this and possibly get a game going. I've played two 40K video games and red a webcomic based on dark heresy. I have never touched the tabletop war game though as it is a bit out of my price range and I like RPGs more than combat heavy war games.

I have skype but I will try to pay attention to any replies here, though if you want to talk or somehow get a game going, skype is a better choice for me.

So yeah, hope some folks can help out someone starting from total scratch here.

I don't play over the computer or anything, and though I have the second edition of DH, I normally am involved more with DW or RT. I have played some BC which is more compatible, and I do have the books for DH 2e.

I could try to answer any questions you might have, but I'm not currently in a campaign to play any of the 40K's currently.

Well, the problem is I like to do a back and forth dialog over a voice chat usually since it is instantaneous. and I can read as I talk. I've been slowly reading the book now and it looks good. See, it is not that I have questions specifically, it is that I like to confirm how I am thinking something works to make sure I am doing it correctly.

[Jaçinto]

Well, I tried several sites but I guess I'm not gonna find anyone. Wasted my money I guess.

Have you tried the recruitment board?

[Jaçinto]

Thought that was for DMs looking for pathfinder PbP groups only

[feytharn]

There are plenty non pathfinder gamess there and quite a few 'looking for GM' threads - I don't know if those are generally succesful, though.

[Jaçinto]

Actually trying to find that board. Don't know why I can't though.

[feytharn]

Have you minimized the 'online campaigns' tab?

[Jaçinto]

You can minimize tabs? Never knew. I don't see how though as that tab only has a subscribe button. Also sorry if I am being annoying and thanks for the help.

[feytharn]

There is a triangle on the left of each messageboard heading. Click it to minimize that heading. If all sub-forums are minimized, you can also minimize the overriding forum.

[Jaçinto]

Got it, thanks. So in recruitment I can look for help? I thought that was just for Gms to recruit players but ok.

[Tinkergoth]

Well it is for GMs looking for players, but what you could do is mention that you're looking to get a game going, but that you'll be learning the rules same as everyone else. Just make it clear that it's going to be a learning experience, and that if there's anyone who knows the rules already and can help you get a grip on the system, they're welcome to join.

[Jaçinto]

Eh I get anxiety about that then. Guess i'll just wait and hope someone experienced in Dark Heresy 2nd ed finds this.

Recommend that you check out the Warhammer 40K Google+ Community. They sometimes have people looking for groups. You could post there. Additionally, you might find someone interested in playing using Fantasy Grounds 2 the VTT or Roll20, might want to post there as well.
