Fixing the shattered hopes for Dark Heresy: Shattered Hope

 Shattered Hope is a one-off campaign for Dark Heresy, which needs a few tweaks to be awesome for veteran players.

Background

Pregenerated campaigns are terrible for railroading. The plots are very confined and predictable, the challenges are either easy or annoying —requiring trial and error. The battles are boring and never ending. Experienced players are complete munchkins and will do everything to sabotage a railroading situation as it isn't stimulating. Once I run a pregenerated D&D 4e Eberon campaign, called "Seekers of the Ashen Crown", because I hadn't played 4e and I didn't have much time to prepare. It was so tedious that I let the players go wild. A joke item (a sealed book called "The Necronomicon") became the focus of the game and the plot spiralled into a rollercoaster of hilarious madness, which made the game the best/maddest I have ever heard of (Link to story).
