Making the game go easier/better for GM and players

By major shultz, in Deathwatch Gamemasters

Howdy!

Here are some tips to help the game go better...

YMMV!

Deligate!

Hordes- use coasters or movement trays(WFB) with 1 representative figure for each 10's digit and a d10 for the ones digit.

Initiative- have everyone broken up into groups...the ones that go before the bad guys and the ones that go after the bad guys. This speeds things up as you dont have to wait for the slow thinking players with high initative to go.

Critical Hits- have the apothecary have the charts out.

Cohesion- Have the team leader keep track.

Any others...

Before the mission I try to send out a Frag Order.

Frag Order can contain:

Mission Objectives

Maps

Intel analyse

Sub sector/ Planet/ City/ Objective area background

Gear List and rec. points
