Welcome to Schola Progenium - Hero Forge of the Imperium!
This site serves as a resource for both:
- Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Dark Heresy, the role-playing game
- Any writer of fiction, scenarios, or fluff who wants to check their work against existing GW canon
28 September 2008
It's been a slow month for Dark Heresy news since all the excitement at GenCon, and I've had writing tasks that have kept me away from updates to the Library, but never fear, this is a temporary situation, and we're getting very close to the release of Disciples of the Dark Gods to keep everyone occupied.
02 September 2008
I've gotten the fluff of the first Gaunt's Ghosts book into the Library, and am well into the second. I've taken a break from working on my Emperor's Heart series of adventures to work on a new miniature - I'm challenging myself to make a female Tech Priest, and will post some results as soon as I have something worthwhile to show!
24 August 2008
On the way to and from the con, I started re-reading the Gaunt's Ghosts books from The Founding collection and found there were many incomplete or missing Fluff entries in the Library, so I'm starting to correct that. That's a daunting task considering that there are now close to a dozen books!
I'll also be doing some rewriting on my GenCon scenarios to reflect the ideas that came up during play.
17 August 2008
I'm back from GenCon, and though sleep deprived you definitely want to check out the News I brought back!
As for the convention itself, I ran over 24 hours of Dark Heresy at the show, including two demos and two eight-hour adventures. I had a blast, and from the feedback I received, I'm pretty sure my players did too!
27 July 2008
FFG has let slip the title of the next book of the Dark Heresy line. Check it out in the News section!
In getting the 5th Edition fluff into the Library, I've noticed that the names and text on the map on pages 116-117 were transposed about 1 centimeter to the right, making its accuracy somewhat dubious unless you recognize that little "slip."
22 July 2008
Work on my two Dark Heresy scenarios for GenCon Indy has dominated my time recently, but not so busy that I haven't been able to add quotes and flavor text to the Vessor rules.
I picked up Warhammer 40K 5th Edition, and it is chalk full of new fluff! I'm going to begin adding it to the Library today.
29 June 2008
A new addition to the FFG team and more interesting tidbits on the News page.
01 June 2008
FFG's shipment of The Inquisitor's Handbook and Purge the Unclean has finally made it to the US and is in stores now.
My updates to the Library have had to take second seat to other writing tasks for the last few weeks, namely scenarios for the recent KublaCon and the upcoming GenCon Indy. Not to worry, however, you'll see them eventually.
I recently obtained a copy of The Lightning Tower, a limited run Abnett short story set in the Horus Heresy era, and will be adding its fluff shortly.
18 May 2008
Another small update, this time adding statistics for the Cargo-8 wheeled transport. I've been spending most of my time preparing scenarios for KublaCon and GenCon Indy.
11 May 2008
A relatively minor update, simply adding stats for the Stormhawk Gun Cutter. The weapons statistics will follow shortly.
24 April 2008
Take a look at my new Vessorine Janissary rules and the new Martial Artist talent on the 40KRP page.
06 April 2008
FFG has opened the official Dark Heresy page, including within it much of the content of the old BI page.
23 March 2008
The Calixis Sector Timeline is now integrated into the Library files, and I'm starting with material from the Horus Heresy: Collected Visions book. It's been fairly quiet for the last few weeks on the FFG front.
08 March 2008
FFG continues to bring their Dark Heresy support on line a little at a time, this time with a new W40K Roleplay Forum (and WH Fantasy Roleplay Forum for the fantasy side).
In the meantime, I'm almost finished integrating the Calixis Sector Timeline, and will start adding game material to the 40KRP page over the coming week.
29 February 2008
FFG has allayed the fears of Dark Heresy fans in their just-released FAQ. Give it a read, or read more in the News.
I've also been adding the contents of the Calixis Sector Timeline to the Libarary files.
23 February 2008
NEWS FLASH: Fantasy Flight Games gains the license for 40KRP. Read more in the News!
10 February 2008
I've been adding systems and worlds of the Calixis Sector into the Library, and am working up the statistics for the vehicles and vessels in the 40KRP section.
26 January 2008
Sales of the Dark Heresy rulebook has far exceeded anyone's expectations. Read about it on the News page. I have also finished entering the fluff from Realms of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned into the Library. I can see why this volume is so valuable to collectors, as it clears up many of the half-truths I've seen on the net about the Sensei!
21 January 2008
I dug deep into my archives and entered the fluff from Realms of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness into the Library sections. I'll work at getting the material from The Lost and the Damned in there over the coming weeks.
06 January 2008
Happy New Year! Now that the Collector's Editions have started arriving at their destinations, the non-disclosure for the basic rules has been lifted, meaning I can finally start working on content for the 40KRP section instead of just pretty pictures!
