on Fantasy Flight Games' website.It has the best critical hit charts ever made. You don't even need the rest of the game (although it is all good, it's just a LOT). Just start a campaign, wing it, and whenever anyone gets a good hit, roll on the critical hit charts. Holy fucking hell, did boiling bone marrow just turn my femur into a frag grenade? Fuck.

They say it is but a matter of time before the stars align and the entire place is torn asunder by daemons. Of course, they say that about a great many places. But in this case, master, the Tarot indicates it is actually true.
