Description

As the Imperial Pilgrim ship Memento Mori prepares to travel faster-than-light through the dangerous Immaterium, Captain Loften Drallen addresses all those gathered on the bridge. “As you are all aware, the planet Hydres VI has fallen to a Heretic uprising. We have evacuated as many civilians as we can, as well as yourselves. As Captain of this ship, I ask each of you to honour your fealty to the Emperor of Mankind, and help defend this ship. Enemies of the Imperium may have infiltrated during the evacuation, and we cannot allow to them to continue their evil work”. You look around at the estimated number of passengers – with just over 60,000 people aboard, this is not going to be an easy task…

Set in the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Wrath and Glory is a rules-lite system designed around the concept of “failing forward” – no matter the dice rolls, the story will always progress! Choose from a range of characters – from Imperial Guardsmen, Hive Gangers and even Adeptus Astartes – and see if you can survive the horrors of space travel.

This is designed to be an investigation game, with some elements of combat.
