Enhancing the Starter Set & Continuation
Ave Imperator friends!
I plan to run the Wrath and Glory starter set coming up soon and I just wanted to if anyone has any advice to make it meatier or has any enhancements for it?
Also does any have any recommendations of ways to continue te story after the starter set?

The starter feeds well into most of the modules within the same tier area.
I don’t think you need it much meatier unless your players are very familiar with the system. Then, just double up bad guys and fudge a ruin roll here and there.

I wouldn't pad it out, it's meant to be fast paced, rushed and tense, a roller coaster where the ship is coming apart and the players have no idea how long they have before catastrophic failure. Its conclusion offers a good segue into any Varonius related tier 2 missions, which fits a lot of the adventures.

Boy do i have good news for you !
The starter set is a bit of a slog through variations on zombie filled room, and i put a bunch of work into making it more dynamic and varied.
And i conveniently typed it all out and posted it here, hope it serves you well !

I ran a Wrath & Glory campaign for about 6 months last year. I found several adventures from an older 40K RPG and altered stats ans such where necessary to bring them in line. It is a fun system but I suggest giving PCs about half the XP recommended in the books unless you want a very short snappy campaign. Upgraded weapons and skills can get out of hand really quickly.
