''Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay'' is a role-playing game system with multiple source books set within the ''Warhammer 40,000'' universe. The first game using the system, ''Dark Heresy'', was created by Black Industries, which closed soon after the initial release. Official support is continued by Fantasy Flight Games. The ''Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay'' system is explained and used with small differences in a series of independently playable games. Each has a different, narrow focus and multiple supporting books of its own: * In ''Dark Heresy'' (2008), the player characters are agents of the Inquisition. * In ''Rogue Trader'' (2009), the player characters are important members of ship crews in interstellar trade and exploration, often encountering xenos. * ''Deathwatch'' (2010), has a martial focus. The player characters are loyalist Space Marines. * ''Black Crusade'' (2011), has a martial focus. The player characters are followers of Chaos (not necessarily soldiers). * ''Only War'' (2012), has a martial focus. The player characters are Imperial Guardsmen. ==Gameplay== In ''Dark Heresy'', the players assume the roles of Acolytes working for an Inquisitor, who sends them on various missions. Depending on the type of mission, gameplay can involve investigation, combat, intrigue, or other genres. The Game Master is able to tailor his campaign to suit his player group through this flexibility. Since the players work for an Inquisitor, most missions involve rooting out heresies or matters relating to them. The game allows for many other missions, including wiping out dangerous gangs, gathering evidence of corruption, dealing with alien threats or eliminating rogue psykers.〔(Official Fantasy Flight Dark Heresy website )〕 In ''Rogue Trader'', players take the role of a Rogue Trader and his or her crew as they operate outside the stellar and legal boundaries of the Imperium. The book provides, among other things, rules for interplanetary commerce and spaceship operation, travel, combat, and customization.〔(Official Fantasy Flight Rogue Trader website )〕 In ''Deathwatch'', players take the role of surgically modified super humans known as Space Marines. These individuals are recruited from their native Chapters (fighting units of approximately 1,000 men) to serve as a military arm of the Inquisition, against particularly dangerous heretics and alien lifeforms.〔(Official Fantasy Flight Deathwatch website )〕 In ''Black Crusade'', players take the role of Chaos-corrupted characters. ''Black Crusade'', essentially, is the corrupted version of previously mentioned Warhammer 40,000 roleplaying games. Characters are cast in the role of the villain, with the players actively working against the human empire and for the forces of Chaos in the sector.〔(Official Fantasy Flight Black Crusade website )〕 In ''Only War'', each player takes the role of an Imperial Guardsman, one of the billions of hardened conscripts constantly fighting on myriad fronts at the whim of the Earth-based government of the Imperium (Adeptus Terra).〔(Official Fantasy Flight Only War website )〕 Black Industries chose to set ''Dark Heresy'' in a previously unknown sector of the game's fantasy universe, the Calixis Sector, within the ''Segmentum Obscurus''. This sector lies adjacent to Scarus Sector, which is the setting of Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn trilogy. Calixis is similarly adjacent to the Koronus Expanse, the setting of ''Rogue Trader'', and to the warzone on the edge of the Periphery Sub-Sector, the setting of ''Only War''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
