Just realized that I hadn't been active on these forums for some time! For all the talk of Deathwatch dying off, my weekly campaign is going strong into it's second year of service. My players have leveled off at a steady 5-6 each week and much fun has been had by all.
It would be nice to see new material from FFG, but ultimately what makes these games great is the capacity for us to create. The Jericho reach is a great setting and my players are hovering at the cusp of Famed renown and Rank 5. Characters have died, dozens of fate points have been burned along with thousands upon thousands of individual enemies of mankind. Here are a few highlights
A Riptide was used as a shield
A Great Knarlock was briefly used as a mount (Domination)
A hive ship was boarded
An Emperor Class Battleship impaled a Tau Carrier and dragged it halfway across the Jericho Reach
Ebongrave was deposed
A Master Level Warrior Alpha was killed in one hit
500+ Kroot and Tau were killed in under 30 Seconds
Castobel was saved
A Necron Tomb was Obliterated
Aurum was cleansed of Genestealers and Joined the Crusade.
The Ghanathaar plot has been uncovered
I love Deathwatch, so do my players. Even if we never get another book, there is enough here to keep us going for years to come.
