Editing Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay

'''Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay''' is a series of products published by [[Fantasy Flight Games]].  As the name suggests, it comprises a system (actually several systems) of [[role-playing games]] in the [[Warhammer 40,000]] universe.

The roots of the system go quite a ways back, all the way back to the [[Inquisitor (Role-Playing Game)|Inquisitor]] role-playing game published by [[Games Workshop]]'s [[Specialist Games]] division.  The idea of role-playing in the [[grimdark|grim, dark]] future was itself seeded by [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]], which allowed role-playing in the grim, dark past.

All of the games published have a similar core system, with the [[stats]] of Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Strength, Toughness, Agility, Intelligence, Perception, Willpower, and Fellowship (which are themselves based on the stats of the [[Warhammer 40,000]] [[wargame]]), and a [[roll under]] [[d100]] system for dice rolls, but otherwise have grown slightly apart, especially as later systems include fixes for weaknesses of the others.

== Systems ==

Though the game-lines seem to be spreading faster than [[Orks]], here are the systems so far:

* [[Dark Heresy]], in which you serve an [[Inquisitor]] and investigate possibly-[[heresy|heretical]] goings-on.  Prepare to die a lot.

* [[Rogue Trader (RPG)|Rogue Trader]], in which you are a [[Rogue Trader]] (or a member of the retinue of one).  You sail around the [[Imperium]] and try to make lots of money.

* [[Deathwatch#Deathwatch (RPG)|Deathwatch]], in which you are a [[Space Marine]] serving in the [[Deathwatch]].  You kill [[xenos]] for the Emperor.

* [[Black Crusade#The Role-Playing Game|Black Crusade]], in which you get to be the [[heretic]], either a Cultist or a full-blown [[Chaos Space Marine]].  You fight the servants of the Corpse God, and each other, trying to become a [[Daemon Prince]].

* [[Only War]], in which you are a member of the [[Imperial Guard]].  Prepare to die even more.
