So why is it called Slaves to Darkness...?

A million years ago Games Workshop released two books for their chaos armies: The Lost and the Damned and Slaves to Darkness. These books continue to fetch a high price on eBay.

Some time ago, someone who worked for GW (I forget who now... anyone remember?) wrote a fantastic game called "The Lost and the Damned" which combined Path to Glory, Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40K and a heaping dose of insanity. I have the original rules, but cannot seem to find anywhere else on the internet that does...! I guess they have been removed?

Either way, since this game is envisioned to be the same sort of bizarre mix of systems (along with a similar campaign system etc.) I decided to name it after the sister book to Lost and the Damned: Slaves to Darkness.

(Please note that this is not an official title and if GW has a problem with it, I will change it ASAP.)

So what is it...?

Slaves to Darkness is my attempt to take raw madness and distill it into a fast-paced, accessible game that is similar to Gorkamorka but that encompasses far more of the Citadel range (ie. more warbands than just Orks).

It is a wacky combination of Warhammer 40,000, Gorkamorka, Mordheim and the Lost and the Damned. It is, in a sense, the crazy uncle of the Lost and the Damned since it is something along the lines of Chaos meets Mad Max. If this sounds nuts... good.

But, ultimately, Slaves to Darkness is an attempt to create Gorkamorka: Redux. A Gorkamorka with more streamlined rules, faster play, more options and more insanity. To my knowledge, no one has ever attempted a complete revision of the Gorkamorka rules in this manner.
