So I am new to DeathWatch, and with it being a new book out there finding players is not as easy as one might think. So my question is are there any plans to make a shorten players guide to DeathWatch? Something light weight, providing some rules focused on the player rather than just the over all game? True everyone should get a rule book if they are GM or a player that is in and is playing regularly. But for newer players, it's a hard sell to say, "hey, come try out this new game rules a bit different than your last RPG adventure, but if you want you can buy this $60 book and read it." It's a hard sell on that.
