Fate of the Inquisitor

I wrote a book for Evil Hat Productions' Fate Core system, which was published in 2015; in it, we offered optional rules to take full advantage of miniatures in Fate in a way that is meaningful. Since then, I have used successfully these rules for other settings, and I felt it would be a good match for the Dark Heresy RPG (Fantasy Flight Games). 

Moreover, I had been toying with the idea of porting over to Fate the rapid, menu-based character creation system from games Powered by the Apocalypse. The result is this playset for characters forming the retinue of an Inquisitor. I made templates for nine types of player characters, using a playbook format like the one used in games Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA). The rules are pure Fate SRD, but I hope the playbooks make character creation quick and easy for time-constrained one-off games. Each comes with a choice of names, looks, customizable aspects, and stunts. The playbooks include:

• Arbitrator
• Assassin
• Imperial Guard
• Ogryn Bodyguard
• Ratling Scout
• Sanctioned Psyker
• Scum
• Sister of Battle
• Tech-Priest

The pitch for the adventure I ran was:

Fate of the Inquisitor

Inquisitor Lucanus has led you, his retinue, to the Hive World of Corundum IV amidst an ongoing Genestealer invasion to retrieve a priceless relic from the foul xenos. Now the Inquisitor has disappeared during a brutal firefight and the ensuing cave-in, and you are chased by a Genestealer cult. Will you find your master again? Complete his mission? Call for help? Or die bravely but pointlessly?

This is a fan work, no money nor copyright challenge is involved. The Fate Accelerated rulebook is needed in order to run this game, and Fate Core wouldn't hurt either; or you can buy War of Ashes: Fate of Agaptus. In addition, you probably want some or all of the Dark Heresy setting books.
