Games workshops loves big weapons that make lots of noise.  Yay for you for being sensible!

Re: DW: GM wanted

One of my DW games died :( So I'm looking for another, I'd prefer to play in a small group and I am a fan of Dark Angels, at this point I have no preference for the speciality and would even be convinced to play other chapters and a single chapter game instead. Thanks in advance.

Re: DW: GM wanted

Still looking for a replacement game had an idea though of a Kill-team based in a starship rather than a watch station but not a huge drop ship but a smaller ship crewed by the kill team itself, prehaps using the Rogue Trader rules for building a ship, and then they get orders and can inseret themselves and get themselves out as well as have the occasional space fight/boarding action.

Not sure how well it would work but it seems fun, I can post regularly and play any speciality or chapter, even happy to take over someone elses character if it's needed as long as I'm given time to read up on the back story etc.

Re: DW: GM wanted

So far, every DW game I tried, died of quickly. So yes, looking for one as well. If at first you don't succeed!

I havwe a game with 11,000 posts and a regular group of great posters.  I'd happily allow lurkers in case a spot opened up.  The game is adult, so hit me back if you are interested and at least 18 years old.

Re: DW: GM wanted

I have a Deathwatch game that will start sometime next week.  I wanted to get it started this week, but my Rites of Battle book got trapped in Illinois by the snowstorm.  If you'd like to look, it's call the Beta Gambit, and is a dry run for soemthing I'm going to run for my tabletop.  It may not be everyone's cup of tea though.

Re: DW: GM wanted

I also should have mentioned that I won't really be looking at RTJ's until next week, I just posted cause it seemed a wee bit of despair was floating around. :p  Also, that it is an adult game.

Hoping for Thursday.  Gotta get Rites of Battle read and see if it changes my outline any.  Also, have some things to fill in.  I'll let everyone know.

Just wanted to let people know that my game is open now.  If you read the material previously, you may want to go over things as I've fiddled.

Re: DW: GM wanted

Right it's not quite DW but looking for a space marine game that uses these add-ons for DH:

http://darkreign40k.com/drjoom...ave-adeptus-astartes

Now I don't want a DH game that would let me use a spacemarine but a game using these rules, or a mix of DW and this, and I'd like to play from a neophyte or scout upwards, preferably with a squad of scout brothers. It would be lots of battle, after all this is standard marines not Deathwatch, and we would have plenty of time before we get to the good stuff but have a look and see what you think.

Looking forward to your response.

Re: DW: GM wanted

I find that most games either die out for several reasons. In the last RT one only a core group of people posted and the most important person, aka the captain stopped, which does tend to kill it.

As for the DW game I tried to run I had surgery one my arm and hand. After all the meds and recovery time it was over a month in absentee and the game died. Also the issue comes to when the mission is given some people take forever to pick their gear.

As for the dark reign rules. I do not like them, never been a fan. Reason is you have to do a chapter based game or do a DW game with them. I am a SW fan, always have been, so if I play a character, it has to be a SW or a fan based chapter off them. (purists will tell me that space wolves have no successor chapters, true that only one is RECORDED.)

I am thinking about running a game here again for DW. Like Gwyn said, if you first dont succeed....

Re: DW: GM wanted

Right, I blame this post on the people talking about Ascension level characters in the DH thread. I need a brave GM....very Brave.

I want someone to run a game at rank 4 or higher in DW. I would love the chance to actually play a chaplain, rather than just be on the way there all the time, and if I could have one mission, just one, where I can wear terminator armour, just to say I did, that would totally rock!

Please rmail me if you want to discuss the idea.

Re: DW: GM wanted

Hey guys, seems like posts for DW GM's have been down for a bit, so maybe there are some GM's looking to start a new game... maybe.

So when DW first came out I joined a game to play through the demo adventure, Final Sanction I think it was? Well the GM was doing some.... interesting things to try and not make it feel like dungeon crawl, and it didn't really work out too well. Now that some time has passed, and I've flipped through RoB some, I'm getting an urge to give it another go. A friend of mine is also keen to join in.

We're not really picky with specifics. Pre-made adventures or your own creation are fine. With regards to Kill-Team Size, just the two of us is perfectly cool with us.  More members in the Kill-Team is fine too, though in the interest of keeping the game moving I had guessed a cap of around four would be good, though this is obviously up to your discretion.

Around one post a day during the week would be great for posting speed. More would be cool, though sometimes I feel like one post a day is my max I'm able to guarantee. Weekends seem to be a toss up with posts.

Hope to hear something soon. Thanks for your time :D

Re: DW: GM wanted

Well folks, now that Space Marine has come out and has been somewhat nicely received by the community (even 4chan is silent on the matter, which is always a resounding nod of success).

In this vein, I'm interested in running a 'command squad' style game, using the deathwatch ruleset, but with all players being from the same Chapter.  Game would begin with 1 Sergeant and no more than three Battle-Brothers (3x Rank 1, 1x Rank 3).  The sergeant position is intended for a player willing to work as an actual leader, not just to make use of a few more xp.

Would anyone be willing or curious to try out this game?

Re: DW: GM wanted

I'd be keen, obviously, although I would like to see how you plan to balance the different power levels out. Although it might be more interesting if you didn't intend that at all :D

Are you going to be using the altered version of the weapon rules in Errata v1.1 or the standard ones?

Also what chapter have you got in mind?

I'm keen for the following in order:
Tactical
Librarian
Apothecary
Techmarine

Re: DW: GM wanted

Honestly, I don't intend to balance out the one 'odd duck' at all.  If it's a real sticking point, maybe stagger xp until people are evened out.

I plan to run the game 'cinematic ally', which means I'll be using the errated weapon statistics (simply because bolt weapons are simply better in every aspect in the normal rules).  Chapter will be determined by the players, I'm solid enough on fluff for most chapters, and it lets people design their own if they wish to.

For thearty, I'd prefer Tactical Marines, a lone Devastator, and a lone Apothecary - preferably avoiding a Librarian or a Tech-Priest as they are 'command' roles.

Hmmm, and for the sergeant? Any preferences? I'm keen to see a single chapter game run so right me down and let me know when you got a game going so I can RTJ :D

Re: DW: GM wanted

Definitely have my attention with the game LG. I've linked my friend to the thread so he can read the premise himself, though I know he's dying to play a Tech-Marine.

I myself am looking for an Apoth, so no problems there. I can be flexible on the chapter, and am I liking the 3-4 man squad nature of the game. I'll have my eyes open for a RTJ or more discussion.

I'd like to voice interest too.  As a tactical marine or a devestator.
