Purge the Alien...For Free! (Free RPG Day)

By FFG Ross Watson, in Deathwatch

Greetings, Deathwatch fans!

Saturday, June 19 is Free RPG Day. Be sure to check out the Deathwatch quickstart adventure, Final Sanction . You can also come by the FFG Event Center and play with the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay design team!

Solid art on that front cover. I think I prefer it to what I'm beginning to think of as the "Lord Flashard" Marine from the Deathwatch cover. gran_risa.gif

Any idea when the .pdf will be available for download for those of us unable to make any of those locations ?

Agreed. My first impression is that the marine at the front looked fat.

LOL, Lord Flasheart! W00f! W00f! Bloody w00f!

Fat... or ready to bust a move, break-dance style.

Seriously, developers, hear the cries of woe on the forae concerning the front cover for the book... it's by no means on par with the other books, which is a shame for what will be the apotheosis of the 40K RPG.

I am not sure, but i guess that they will put in the " utilities " of the game. They had done the same with the others Wh40K RPGs!

Anyway, cheer up Brothers! Soon we could bring slaughter and pain to the Xenos!!!!

"Instead asking why to kill the Xeno, ask why not..." (One old quote of the Deathwatch)

would be nice if they did it in the UK as well as the US.

It is happening in the UK - I know my local store (Eclectic Games, Reading, Berkshire) is running events for Free RPG Day on Saturday. There's a list of participating stores here . UK stores are at the bottom of the list.

****, none in South Africa.

**** and double **** my nearest is over 3and a half hours away oh why are all military camps in the middle of no where, suppose will have to wait for it to come out in pdf before i can get a play:)

I already got a full kill-team together just waiting for proper rules... cool.gif

Too bad we don't have an event center here in Germany. FFG, please expand!

Any word on when there will be a PDF release? Some of us were stranded far, far from our game stores.

So... someone is selling five copies of a booklet that's clearly marked on the back cover as "Free" and "Not for Resale"...

I don't see that he should actually be allowed to put up the booklet up for sale.

Hopefully their uppance will come! Given they're listing it as "new and unopened" I wonder if it's some schmuck who works at a store somewhere who snagged some copies. Or something along those lines...

It is sad but unfortunately eBay allows that. sad.gif

I hope that he/she will finish eating his/her copies because he/she couldn't sell them.... enfadado.gif

By the Throne that some people make me wish the Inquisition really exist...

" Yes, my Lord. That kind of person will sell the humanity for any profit. In fact, i can swear that he(she) already sold his(her) mother... No, my Lord. I don't have anything against the comerce. Just something against promiscous and free trade... Yes, my Lord. That means the trade with Xenos... Yes, my Lord. In fact, i have an idea where to found him(her).... "

Anyway, i hope that if the extra PC are now in the Support Section, we will found the Adventure there soon... gui%C3%B1o.gif

Beware of the Xeno, BattleBrothers!

Hear! Hear! It's a sad sad world when people start hoarding free material for resale... Well we could always report him to ebay... if they get a few dozen complaints I'm sure they'll have a look. ^^

I also found this:

At least it's cheaper than the ebay auction, but you have to pay the shipping cost. serio.gif Maybe for some of you it will be of any use.

By my side, i don't know if i would be able to find one copy here in Spain, (only two shops are in the list of retailers, and so much people is waiting for it). So I will wait until FFG put the pdf in the Support Section.

I hope that it will be soon. I can't wait!!!! gran_risa.gif

Much better than ebay, I might have to put in for it. Heck, who am I fooling, the card is out and it's getting ordered now. $2.96 isn't too bad.

Of course you could just wait a bit for the download version....

In my mind, I feel I have been waiting...although only a day and a half has passed since Free RPG Day. In the absence of any assurance of when it might be available for download, I want this in my hands more drastically than I might otherwise. After all, it's easier to get friends to play it when there is a buzz about it in the community than when you have to sell them on the concept. I have trouble enough getting them to make characters for Dark Heresy.

Again, it would have been nice to hear some assurances like, "and for those unable to participate in Free RPG day, a downloadable pdf will be available [date here]."

That is a gamer's life, or lack thereof.
