Everyone dies.

Spagetti effect, at least witnessed from outside. Also death.

>>12526131
Sounds about right.

They come out the other side playing shadowrun.

>>12526141
But I don't want another Rockfall Cavern.

I want something epic.

They are torn to pieces. Bit by bit. Their molecules are destroyed as gravity gets stronger than their bonding.

>>12526131
Yeah, that's pretty much it. There aren't many more interesting ways to go out though.

>>12526147

Then why are they in a black hole to begin with?

Alternatively: new WFRP campaign

It's a black hole. They're disintegrated as the accretion disc of the black hole burns them into plasma and when what used to be them actually hits the black hole they're not even plasma anymore.

>>12526131
Also, windmills.

>>12526158
Numerous ships keep on going missing in the area. They decided that shooting themselves directly into it would help them best solve the problem.

>>12526147
They're drawn into the Warp, their Gellar shield nonfunctional. But instead of madness and death, they become infused with Immaterium. They become something more than human.

Guys, I think you're missing that this is a DH game.

> They enter the Warp, THEN everyone dies.

They die after they're torn apart by extreme tidal forces.

>>12526180
well they're gonna experience first hand what caused the ships to go missing
I mean they shot themselves INTO A BLACK HOLE
they die, end of story.

>>12526187
Exalted in my Dark Heresy?
Its more likely than you think.

>>12526147
Well, if you don't mind ignoring the laws of physics, just call it a wormhole and do whatever you like with the plot.

The lovable servohead saves the crew from the newer version 2.0 servohead and its Chaos-infected owner, then meet their destinies with a brave face, and a new consciousness.

Sorry but at what point does shooting yourself into the heart of a black hole warrant anything other than a hideous death and a facepalm from anyone watching?

>>12526205
Oh-hoh-hoh, I see what you did there.

And I agree.

>>12526143
This would actually be the most interesting. The PCs end up in another world (perhaps in Warhammer Fantasy, I don't know how similar the two systems are but it would be interesting to see a crossover) or even have the PCs end up in another setting/game system.

>>12526217
since the dm is whipped
you have to look at the rammifications for later too. your players are going to be "omg he gave us a plot hook when we drove into a black hole. WHAT STUPIDITY SHALL WE COMMENCE NEXT?"
then you have to ask yourself, when will you stop? Kill them off.

>>12526231
>Warhammer Fantasy, I don't know how similar the two systems
They aren't, at all.

>>12526248

Play WFRP2, then, newfag.

In the constellation of Cygnus, there lurks a mysterious, invisible force: the black hole
of Cygnus X-1...

Invisible to telescopic eye
Infinity, the star that would not die

All who dare to cross her course
Are swallowed by her fearsome force

Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized...at the core?
Or through the Astral Door?
To soar...

They die, you idiot.

>>12526248
Sorry brah, hell I don't even play DH. I wouldn't know.

Since black holes would obviously be a part of the Warp, you could just say that the players' bodies change (i.e, they make new characters for the setting).

Yeah, but I don't want my group to hate me.

>>12526248
They really are, only difference is corruption points and a perception stat.

Our understanding of physics is insufficient to describe what's going on in the heart of a Black Hole.

>>12526288
If they would hate you for punishing this sort of stupidity, they're not a very good group.

They find out the black hole is actually an insidious Eldar trick.

Then they get stuck in a n-th dimensional hypercube puzzle.

>>12526301
So they are ripped to shreds and awaken in Olympus?

They activate the warp drive while turning a slingshot at the inner part of the Event Horizon, thereby throwing themselves back in time to the Holy Terra of the 1980s in order to save the humpback whale so that it's whale-song can be brought back to the future to resurrect the God-Emperor with it's cosmic grooviness.

BUT THEN. The Rocinante is attacked by the en-FUCKING-tire Western Spiral Arm Battlegroup of the Pfhor Slaver Empire. As the Pfhor ships close in, a submerged Dark Age of Technology Artilficial Intelligence that nobody, NOBODY knew was even lurking in the ship's computer core reactivates after it's twenty thousand year slumber, pushing the ship to it's absolute tactical limits to overcome the threat. At long last, Durandal has awoken, his dreams of godhood finally at hand, this casual ripoff of the path the Rocinante took in Marathon: Rubicon obviously unnoticed by your players because nobody has ever played Marathon: Rubicon.

BUT THEN.
After defeating the schemes of the artillects Durandal, Tycho, and those other two I don't quite remember, you make it back to Terra to find it near destruction, because it's 1987 and Baron Victor von Doom of Latveria and the mutant leader they call Magneto have seized control of half of the world's resources. All that stands in their way are the covert organization S.H.I.E.L.D., and a secret cabal of mutants and psykers called "The X-Men." WILL YOUR IMPERIAL CREW JOIN FORCES WITH MUTANTS TO SMITE OTHER MUTANTS? WILL THE EARTH BE SAVED? WILL YOU SOMEHOW MANAGE TO CRAM ANOTHER FRANCHISE THAT JUST DOESN'T BELONG IN DARK HERESY INTO THIS GAME?

>>12526293
...
dude you're fucking whipped
you can write them an essay on how fucked they are or if you really feel merciful tell them as their ships starts getting torn apart by the tidal forces and give them a chance to retreat with a BADLY damaged ship. If they continue regardless, TPK ,gg, hf.

>>12526117

Depents on the type of Black Hole. Its mass, its rotation, from were they come and other elements.

As much as I hate to see people be rewarded for being so utterly fucking retarded they deserve the horrific death they so richly want, I suppose we ought to offer them some sort of hooks for not being turned into pieces of matter no larger than an atom.

Honestly though, your gonna have to work hard or rip something off to stop them. At this point I would suggest TOTALLY RIPPING OFF the starting episode of Andromeda. An ancient warship caught on the fringes of the blackhole sending out a weak distress signal from when they went into it many millenia ago. All the ships were lost trying to salvage it, as low and behold, black holes are fucking deadly.

>>12526308
Nope. Basically the tidal forces rip them apart faaaaaar earlier before they get near the black hole. What gets in the black hole is the plasma made from their remains, gathered in the accretion disc.

>>12526301
Our understanding of physics is, however, enough to know that we'd be dead before ever reaching the heart of a black hole.

>>12526321
I'm fine with ripping something off.

>shooting themselves into the heart of Cygnus X-1.
Wait.
Are they flying the ship in or are they actually SHOOTING THEMSELVES into it?

The question isn't going to be what happens with the PC's, since you've decided already that they survive.

The question is how they survive and b) What happened to all the other ships?

Me, i'd make it an ancient portal into the webway, built near the star (or whatever Cygnus X-1 was) and the part where they enter they find hundreds of imperial ships.

In some, the captains have maintained life in their ships, holding the reactors at the minimum for long use, other ships... have degenerated or worse, and the eldar will remember this place someday, or maybe even the dark eldar.

>>12526342
But they're going REALLY fast.

>>12526352
The ship.

>>12526362
If they're not traveling faster than light then it doesn't make a lick of difference.

>>12526346

What actually transpires beneath the veil of an event horizon? Decent people shouldn't think too much about that.

Academician Prokhor Zakharov
"For I Have Tasted The Fruit"

The players will battle Chaos for what feels like ages.
Yet neither force will yield.
The party then becomes divided.
Their souls engulfed by deamonic battlefields.

One member is left standing and a voice from the Void cries out.

"We will call you Cygnus,
The God of Balance you shall be."

Fun part, charged black hole with rotation have a gravity force=0 in the interior part of the Black Hole after Event Horizont zone. Of course by that point you're traveling at the speed of light towards the Singularity. Enjoy your travel!

>>12526378
Finally someone who gets where I ripped the plot from.

>>12526362
And? That just means the forces will rip them apart faster. Black holes warp space and time, they fuck up solar systems and very probably galaxies. Nothing gets past the event horizon intact. It's plasma. And once it's inside, it isn't getting out.
to quote wiki
An observer falling into a Schwarzschild black hole (i.e. non-rotating and no charges) cannot avoid the singularity. Any attempt to do so will only shorten the time taken to get there.[47] When they reach the singularity, they are crushed to infinite density and their mass is added to the total of the black hole. Before that happens, they will have been torn apart by the growing tidal forces in a process sometimes referred to as spaghettification or the noodle effect.[48]

>>12526117

Those are deamons and not black holes, Adeptus Panza!!!
We should charge with our mighty ship!!

>>12526403
But thats no fun.

I'm actually not that stupid guys, but sometimes I like to pretend that I am. So here goes:

Imagine the forces that rip you apart on the course of reaching a black hole? What if, after entering the event horizon or whatever, the forces are reversed and you are basically picked back together again? And THEN you travel back in time/to a parallel universe.

>>12526376
You sir, deserve much win.

>>12526410
Look at those gargantuan arms of the Keeper of secrets!!

>>12526412
When your players try to take a greater demon on their own (no army 'n shit) or try to stay on a planet marked for Exterminatus don't say we didn't warn you.

Fantastic ship name, by the way.

>>12526430
You don't know nothing from the Code of Chivalry!!
If there is a civilian in danger, We, the Adeptus Astartes should fight to the end!!

The only way to survive is if they manage to enter the Black Hole from the polar regions (that only works for rotating Black Holes). Therically, rotating Black Hole have a singularity with the form of a ring so entering from the polar regions may prevent you from colliding with the singularity.

Also better chose one massive in order to reduce the Spagetti effect.

The Idea of a bunch of Acolytes who think they are Adeptus astartes, Solar Commanders, and Living saints after reading many books cannot be expressed with a Image reaction.

Someone's a lit-fag. Or Spanish Lit-fag.

To the heart of cygnus' fearsome force
We set our course
Spiralled through that timeless space
To this immortal place

>>12526495
Lit-fag, yes.

Have a certain Dr. Weir mysteriously appear on the ship as they approach the black hole.

>>12526541
I FLOAT LIKE A LEAF ON THE WIND WATCH HOW I SOAR

They die.

It's too easy to do stupid things like shooting themselves into a black hole, and waiting you to save them.

Why the fuck are people here demanding REALISTIC EVENTS OF A BLACK HOLE in motherfucking Dark Heresy?

What happens? Something that leads to hilarious chaos, anarchy, and Sam Raimi-esque black humor. Like everything in DH does.

They become ancient greek gods in earth's history.
Duh.

>>12526613
Well Duh.
Why didn't I think of that.

>>12526597
This.
DH is C'THULHU IN SPACE not ASTROPHYSICS: THE GAME.
Just make some shit up man. Worse comes to worse bust out 'Doc Aquatic's™ Random Adventure Table'.

You see other universes but you can only reach one. This also an one-way only travel since the "tunnel" will collapse afterward and maybe later will be reconnected with another universe.

Of course since it's likely that the new universe will have different physical rules than our own it is likely that you won't be able to exist in the new universe and every single particle in your body will collapse. In essence: you die.

The find the back door to Commorragh. Emperors mercy on them.

>>12526180
>Numerous ships keep on going missing in the area. They decided that shooting themselves directly into it would help them best solve the problem.

This only makes sense if your players think the black hole is some kind of gateway to the warp or something.

In either situation [being a gateway to the warp, or being a blackhole] your players are downright idiots, because they've just committed suicide.

>>12526688
>labyrinths of Tzeentch.

This!

>>12526666
It's not about astrophysic, it's about the scenario.

If the scenario leads to the black holes, and if there are clues that's the black holes is not just a huge crusher, ok, let's go.

If there are no such clues, it's as stupid as jumping into a volcano, shooting yourself in the head, etc.
It's common sense : the black holes are deadly.

Jumping headfirst into a black hole is smalltime, you just need to raise the shields slightly, take your chief engineer out for some girl-talk in a shuttlecraft, fire a beam of quantum tachyon quantum gravitational quantum quanta quantum to crack a hole in the event horizon, and then use the quantum flux quantum tachyon quantum of the shields like a wedge to expand the hole in the event horizon, and then you just fly straight out the hole in the event horizon.

Simple.
