Re: DW: GM wanted

Millandson and myself are going to co-gming a game in mid-october, as I have received many PM's with regards of wanting to play. So we plan on splitting up the squads and running missions that will influence the other team. We shall see how it goes but right now we are just getting the ground work laid down for it.

We are currently making a new game, working on the NPC's and such for the game. Millandson and I should have it up and running in a week or two.

In reply to Exalt7212 (msg #9):

Will you directly adress those who have PMed you already or would it be necessary to browse every half hour for "Deathwatch" :-) ?

Re: DW: GM wanted

Like I said in a week or two it up, we haven't even decided on major characters. So I wouldn't worry about it right now, but yes we are going to PM those who PMed me.

Re: DW: GM wanted

Having finally gotten my hands on the Deathwatch book, I am really looking forward to playing in a game. So far all of those I have seen active right now are full however so seeing if anyone has a game in the making. After I get a feel for the game as a I player I would be happy to turn around and run a game as well.

Re: DW: GM wanted

Och, so many people who already have their book.
Och, the envy is killing me :-)

So far I've only seen one game that does not use the quick-start-rules from Final Sanction but actually goes with the core book. And that game has already 9 (!) players (2 squads) and is no longer open for new players... amassing some 500+ posts within one week !

Even if a game sprang up (I'm looking daily !) I currently wouldn't be able to write a proper RTJ, since I can't build a character. It's shame really :-(.
And Amazon is only saying "Estimated Delivery" :-(

Things is:
The "DW: Players Wanted" thread will probably not have many posts since anyone who's actually setting up a game will be overwhelmed with RTJ within seconds... chuckle.

"Problem" (if we want to call it that) is:
Every seeking player will naturally write a RTJ for each and every game that springs up, quite likely resulting in getting multiple games to play in... while others go with empty hands.

So the challenge for every player is:
How do I get the attention of the GM :-)...
What can I possibly do so he's choosing me, instead of player XYZ ?
And suddenly one must remember all the tricks and manoeuvres of job application / interview... chuckle. Unfortunately, my last job application was over 5 years ago... chuckle
If I were into "Social Sciences" this would be so interesting to study ;-)

Re: DW: GM wanted

Yay it is my game that has 500 posts in a week.  As for RTJ you need to put some fluff in, something that will catch the eye with a neat potentail plot hook.  Tie is as much or as little canonical fluff as you want and answer the questions in the book about your character.  If you havent got the book they are very similar to the dark heresy ones.  Hell I'll post them here:

What is your homeworld like?  Is it just a distant memory that you don't really care about or do you still long for it in some way?  Where did you stand in its culture before becoming a marine?

What is your personality like?  How do other people often perceive him?

Why were you selected for the deathwatch?  Showing great skill?  Self imposed/chapter imposed exile?  Trying to atone for some sin or mistake?  Is becoming a deathwatch trooper a step down eg where you a captain before?

What do you hate most of all?  Why do you hate it?  Does this hate keep you going when the poo really hits the fan?

How do you perceive the Emperor?

What do you think of the codex Astartes?

How pure is your geneseed?

What do you think of psykers?

What do you think of the Imperium as a whole?  What do you think of normal humans??
