House Rules
Core, Errata, and Supplements
This campaign uses the core rulebook, the official errata, and Into the Storm. I recently acquired Battlefleet Koronus, and may update this section of the website as I become familiar with this supplement. Note however, that I will only be accepting Career Paths form the core book.
Skills
Obviously skills such as Common Lore (Koronus Expanse) can be replaced with counterparts representing Vagrant Spectrum.
​
Troop and Vehichle Capacity
Troop Capacity
The ship can carry 500 soldiers for every 10 points of Space. A Barracks Component adds the capacity for an additional 1,000 soldiers.
​
Vehicle Capacity
For the purposes of these rules there are three different types of vehicles: Starsfighters such as Thunderbolts and Lightnings, Cargo Transports like Arvus Lighters and Valkyries, and Ground Vehicles like Bikes or the Tauros Rapid Assault Vehicle. For each type, a Starship can carry one vehicle for every five points of space. A cargo hold component adds the capacity for an additional four vehicles for each type.
Corruption and Insanity
I don’t personally own Ascenscion for Dark Heresy, but from what I understand the following rules for removing Corruption and Insanity points come from this supplement:
​
You may spend XP to remove Corruption Points in the same manner as Insanity Points.
You may sacrifice 2 points of a Characteristic to remove 1d10 Insanity or Corruption.
Posting
Length
​The length of your posts is a balance between narrative detail and pacing. The standard will be a single paragraph. Others will be much longer, and some may be a quick sentance to respond to something simple. The very nature of online roleplaying means events take much longer to play out than they typically would in person.
​
Initiative
I will call for initiative at the beginning of a scene. This initiative will serve as your posting order, as well as your combat initiative.
