Which Dark Heresy Edition is best for new GMs

>So, It's coming up to Christmas and I've been thinking of getting a Fantasy Flight 40K Role Playing book,
Mein fuhrer... Steiner...

2nd edition is more steamlined, 1st edition has way more material and adventures published.
Both have their issues and imbalances, as in 2nd E didn't solve all the existing issues (it did solve some) and added others.

The biggest difference:
1st: Character classes and money
2nd: Classless affinities and requisition via influence

All things considered, I'd say 2nd E.


Ps : FFG has lost the licence. The game is no longer supported, and as a result there will be no more expansions.

Also, don't go to the 40kRPG general when it appears. It's full of cancerous faggots who use homebrew and run meme games.

Cmon man why you gotta be all negative

The homebrews with some work done on them (Shas's stuff, etc) are fun to use if you're not beholden to actually trying to be as depressing and grimdark as possible.

For what it's worth, stuff in Only War ports to DH 2E easily because they're much closer in rules than most of the other 40k RPG core rules. If you want a combat heavy game, consider it as an alternate.

The good thing about those books are they're 95% usable out of the box. The other 5% is Shas-isms that can/should be removed to make things proper. Still, out of 150 pages, 140 are rules? That's better content than FFG sometimes.

mechanically they aren't that different, but the newer ones are organized better.
