Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

At terminal velocity you would be experiencing 0 G, as G is an acceleration, not a velocity. Without wind resistance, you would be accelerating at 1G until you hit the end point, at which point you would accelerate negatively, and your total negative acceleration after impact divided by 9.8m/s^2 would be the "g" force of the impact.
This is more of a 40k thing, but since in DH you have to walk around them on the ground it matters in an RP sense.
Basically I made a GM decision to let my players understand that they’re like super dense NYCs or cyberpunk style cities with an emphasis on the gradual incline from the lowest poorest and most (relatively) dangerous parts that reach the outside ground (but cover the underhive) into the richest and highest areas of the hive. If one were to look from a habway street, the street and surrounding area looks on the level, but you can look up and see the pollution, spires, and the city very gradually rising to the apex as the vertical ultracity it is. The spires are still a big thing, but in my mind the spires aren’t “The Mainhive” so to speak. They are everywhere and omnipresent but there’s a rising ground floor where the majority of people live and work and die. They blot out the sky for he majority of the people along with the pollution and the multitude of buildings around.
Like I never understood the habways between spires in artwork. Were like magrails (subways) or busses or whatever built only for that linear stretch? Who would sell an autocarriage for only one road?
This was mainly to get my thoughts out. It’s a subject I have been thinking on and off of for months since one of my players said he didn’t really understand how 40k works, especially with travel and such.

At terminal velocity, you fall at exactly 0 g, having started at 1 g.
At terminal velocity, you're no longer accelerating, having achieved your maximum (terminal) velocity. So, definitionally, your acceleration is 0 regardless of unit.
When you start falling, the only force acting on you is gravity, which (on Earth) gives you an acceleration of 1 g. (This will be reduced immediately as wind resistance kicks in and reduces your acceleration.)
There's no exposure to the outside in a Hive. Outside is ash wastes. A hive is a massive enclosed space layered many time. When you look up you see a vaulted ceiling high above.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
At terminal velocity, you are experiencing 1 G, as the air is pushing against you at precisely 1 G to prevent you from accelerating.
Oh hey! A knife!
Any other useful sites I should.look into? I know wotc offers an online dice roller, but anything I may not know if don't know of?

Hell, I am using roll20 for handouts in my in-person Star Wars game since everyone already uses laptops or tablets for their character sheets anyway.
... and you are therefore experiencing a net effect of ... ?
Ignoring, for the moment, changes in cross-section due to tumbling, differences in air density with height affecting terminal velocity, etc.

You sound experienced. How many times have you been slapped by a catfish?
A better question is how many fish slaps would it take before the Magikarp evoled into Garados?
Quite a few times, actually. I once got knocked out the boat when one my friend was supposed to be holding started thrashing around and hit me.
BITD- Artemus Harrison
You needed a bigger boat
Now now, if we're going to talk about catfishing I'm going to have to drink a bit.
Okay but don’t air vehicles travel in these places? Does that mean there are gates to the inside accessible to valkyries and lighters and such? Why in BL books is Helsreach apparently open to the air?
The main thing, how does one travel and navigate in them? Are there roads that lead out of the hive to the wastes? There has to be because guardsmen will raid on nomads with ground vehicles in the DH1E and 2E fluff.
Edit: Like this is apparently Hive Desoleum Primus. I don't know what this picture is from, I can't find it in the CB. It doesn't look like a bunch of sealed arcologies to me.

I took this map from a forum's DH game (https://www.systemsunitednavy.com/threads/volkrands-legacy-dark-heresy-2e-rpg.5226/). It was prettier than my own. I dressed it up with locations my acolytes have gone to.
edit 2: I also after two years figured out movement and blast radii. Was running on a rule of diagonals taking two equivalents of movement, and got rid of that because it feels more natural to not do that. I have been very bad with difficulty modifiers on my tests. I usually just wing it and make most of them +0 challenging to keep the game moving. Learning I need to go back to the book to judge the difficulty of these types of tests. I just hate slowing down what is already a slow type of game.

Nah, you feel like you're experiencing 1 G, as opposed to when you start falling, where you feel like you're experiencing 0 G but are actually accelerating at 1 g.
Oh hey! A knife!
They'd still be falling at 1G. Although in the dark, so that would be exciting.
Oh hey! A knife!
That is not at all how that works.

That took some twists and turns in my mind...
This is precisely how it works.

This is both a serious question, a joke about G-forces and a plea for the discussion to move on btw
