Yup.  I had a shot at Thraxar's game mostly (I think) because he liked the fact that I had a scout marine character concept but gave up before being offically accepted because I saw how fast those posts were flying.  I would love to get into a deathwatch game, but I didn't think there was a chance I would be posting often enough to do the game justice (I'm more of a one post a day guy).

Chuckle... imagine that.
You're only doing one post per day ? Outrageous.
I'm kiddying, of course, in case you hadn't noticed.
Heck, most GMs kind of beg in their RTJ threads for daily posts and don't even get that.
So I'd say 1/d is good enough.
But, if there's a fight going on and the particular game explicitely does those fights in initiative order, I ususally make sure to check the game more often.
I'm kind of paranoid of having players wait on me ;-)

BTW: lots of Final Sanction games springing up these days, is there no adventure included in the Core book ?

There is, but its not really a good one, IMO. The ones in DH and RT were better made.

I was able to run DW's back of the book in 2 hours start to finish (though I planned it around doing so), it really isn't anything special.

I ask for a minimum of one post a day or I post for them.  This usually just means they follow their squad leaders direction or do something sensible but not particularly helpful or damaging.

As for the mission in the back of the book it just needs some poetic licence and adjusting.  Also sporadic vox communiques from the remaining imperial forces on the planet help to make it feel more rushed.  Nothing like hearing from a Major leading an armoured regiment headed your way and not far off sounding like the cavalry only to have the message degenerate into screaming and the sounds of battle.

Oh the thrill !
Just got an email from amazon that my book is about to arrive TODAY !

bump in interest of finding a game

I would very very very very very very very very very much like to join a DW game.

I know my way around 40K lore.

I'm in 3 games at the moment and things are going pretty well. I'm new to the system as I didn't play RT or DH. Still, as someone mentioned, ain't nothing to it except to try. I'm a very dedicated GM who makes up for lack of knowledge with quick learning and enthusiasm. I'd be interested in trying to start a game if I get at least 3 or 4 interested. I'm not completely new to the 40k universe but my knowledge is limited. When in doubt, google it.

I'll sign up if you're looking for players. :)

I am up for a game if you start one.

My days off are coming up. I'll see if I can at least get an intro going and something to have the characters ineteract while I build a story. I will post in the DW: Players wanted thread when I have something.

Awesome, you're a hero!

Awesome!

In reply to Donan (msg #31):

Could I entice you to PM the three of us when you're ready?

Ah, and there are some pre written adventers if you can find them.  Though some of the others may have played through them already.  (I haven't however.)

I am fairly new to the game myself so I have yet to play any pre made ones. Well for all I know I could be as I don't know if my GM's are doing that. And yes, I'll pm you three, btw I am only going to take one of each specialty, so you might want to start figuring that out amongst yourselves.

I'm content with any, my only strong suggestion is that one of us in an Apothecary.

four of us.  Actually you will probably fill three roles quite quickly. Librarian, Apothecary and Assault, even outside this.  Devastator is a bout tied with assault, you will probably find it harder to get someone to play a tactical marine.

It's understandable and I don't need 6 players to start a game, however I don't want to have double the specialties or more. LOL 4 assault black templars.

If you need a tactical marine, I have no problem playing a smurf

eh? smurf?

Smurf= Ultramarine

I too am happy to take a tac (or a librarian) - I haven't played either of those specialties yet

I might edge towards a techmarine unless someone else is very interested in it. :)
