Dark Heresy RPG to Skirmish Notes

 Somebody asked about my method for adapting the Dark Heresy adventures to the tabletop skirmish format. It's mix of "stand-up" role-playing and writing some tables to create some random elements for each encounter. 

I took a couple of pictures of my notebook pages to show my work on this. A picture is literally worth several hundred words in this case! 


This page shows my notes from the end of Carnival of Blood. Since we got our butts kicked at the end and had to run away, I had to come up with a workaround to get us to the final chapter, the 13th Hour. 



In the 13th Hour, I wanted us to do some role-play prior to the action, so I made up this table and Stu and I each talked to three of the characters. Based on some rules in TFA, we used our stats to interact with them and gain info. If we succeeded, we earned bonuses to our attacks on the Widower. 



I hope this provides some insight into my somewhat seat-of-my-pants process of adapting this amazing material to the tabletop. I should also add that Alan Bligh's work on these adventures is amazing. It is so sad that he passed too soon. But his work lives on. 


Thanks!
