Hi everyone,

I'm a sometime Deathwatch GM. I absolutely love the game, and the background universe is brilliant, but I have a problem.

Between real life and the people in my gaming group not wanting Deathwatch for whatever reason, I have not been able to play for some time, though my previous plays have been successful.

Anyway, to cut to the chase, I have a plot that is burning a hole in my pocket, and I want to run it. I am willing to use any format, such as via email, forum, or Yahoo! Group that the players are comfortable with, providing consensus is reached. The only restriction is that my time for live playing, or via skype, etc, is severely limited and highly irregular.

I am looking for a group of players, 4-6 of them preferably, who are willing to dedicate time to writing posts for Deathwatch play.

The plot begins with a Tyranid hunt through the lower reaches of a hive on Vanir and culminates -- well, best let you play through to see where this goes. However, there are about a dozen missions in the current plot outline that will test the kill team to their limits.

Please post any questions here, and I will answer them. If you are interested in playing also post here and once we have a few players I will organize the game elements.

Hi mike i'm interested in playing in your campaign, but only if you accept a newbie of play-by-post games... I've been playing RPG since 2002, and i'm currently acting as GM for a Deathwatch campaign that has lasted for more than a year, but i've always played live with my group. So, if you're ok with that and you'll bear a little patient, i enlist!

I'm interested. I am curious how you plan to handle combat over PbP because that can get very bogged down and slow-moving. I would almost suggest a combat map on Roll20 that people can log into, move their characters, and see the action. Since it't not live you'd have plenty of time to set up the map in advance of combat (I have been stressed when having to do a map on the fly while players are waiting on Skype to continue the session).

Anyway, interested as a Blood Drinker Librarian or Black Templar Techmarine.

Which chapters are allowed anyway?

C0balt0 - newness to PbP isn't an issue at all! All you have to do is send in your actions and we can move from there. Its better if you add some narrative story to it, but anything is good!

Kshatriya- I have found that combat in Deathwatch either goes 2 ways naturally, and that is it either bogs down really badly, or it moves very very fast. Of course, you make a valid point, that in PbP games combat always bogs things down. I have never heard of Roll20, but I will look into it. My original plan had been to give players the majority of the freedom - they make the rolls and apply all the modifiers and I just have to interpret them. I was going to test it for the first mission, then make changes for mission 2 if needed, since the first mission is really just getting feet wet and weeding out the quitters.

I will set things up, since I have 2 players coming from Bolter and Chainsword, whom I hope are neither of you.

EDIT: I'm looking to set things up on RPDom.com (roleplay.zone). Do either of you have any objections?

I'm not familiar with it but I'll check it out.

ak-73: I will allow any chapter, including black shield. For those chapters that are not in the core book, please reference the book and page number. For DIY chapters, please either link to the material (if it is on a forum etc link fantasy flight) or otherwise communicate to me the particulars of the chapter.

I would like to run the game at RPDom.com. They have a lot of great resources for GMs and players, and we will get our own sub-forum when things are all set. I know it means probably having to register on their forums, but it will be worth it. Here is a link to the signup thread over there:

My username there is AlphaJester. Just drop a post in the thread to show you are interested. Let me know you came from the Fantasy Flight forum too please.

Hey - I checked it out. Just to note, people pretty much called any role I was interested in playing and you mentioned not wanting to double up for now.. I dunno if that means you're still open to me submitting an idea.

I'm interested if its PbP, don' do Skype and stuff like that.

New to Deathwatch and unable to find the time or group to play. So if possible, I would be interested too.
