I'd like to ask a very brief question.
Are the rulessets of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Dark Heresy compatible? I mean, for example, could I insert Dark Heresy characters into the world of WHFRP, or bring over creatures from WHFRP into Dark Heresy?
Anyone familiar with both games, that can provide an answer if the mechanics are basically "re-skinnable"?
I'm just curious.

It'd take a bit of work as some things don't line up, but overall they are very similar.

A lot would depend on which edition of WHFRP you're using (there have been 3 so far), with some taking more work than others. The basic system (d100s) are the same, but I think skills and talents work differently, though its been a long time since I played 2nd ed and I haven't read 3rd ed at all.Miggy Smallz wrote:I'd like to ask a very brief question.

Bear in mind that WHFRP lacks things like plasma cannons which may make a difference in the power levels of the creatures.

Re: WHFRP vs DH
Yes WHFRP second edition is the same as Dark Heresy. Percentile system with degrees of success and failure used in the roles. Rogue Trader is also the same system. You could easily combine the two.
