And the counterpoint to this was that the writers have only so much time to write content, and have to focus on something. You'd see a barrage of complaints if they had one paragraph detailing each and every part of the galaxy. You play far more than most people I've ever met, meaning you chew through content faster than the average consumer. You cannot sell to the minority here, you have to sell to the primary audience. Just because you've played a video game from start to finish three times doesn't mean the developer can produce the add ons and extra content any faster.

And no one was mad that you didn't want to fight Tau, it was the way you approached the subject, complaining the books were too expensive and how FFG was dumb because they didn't put enemy X in for you to fight. That annoys people.

And I'm assuming by "I'm quite proud" you mean that you're not proud? Not sure if English is your first language or not- if it is not, you might want to tell folks that, as they'll be less likely to jump on sentences like that and assume that you're trolling again.

Because you were acting like a troll dude, go back and check your prior posts- all caps and insults rarely provoke helpful responses

The Imperium is in danger all of M41, the trick, I think, is to make the current fight your players are involved in feel like a big deal. You can do that without breaking canon and in my experience without going from one end of the galaxy to the other. There are only a few campaigns I've seen on here that go up to 999. Most people have done that in order to be current with novels and have certain races- namely the Necrons- a full fledged enemy. I don't think most of us do full galaxy spanning adventures given that you can spend a lifetime on an individual planet and not run out of things to do. I don't think there is going to be a lot of campaign source material on here for your style of game. There are some good campaign logs out there, but most of them are centered in the Reach, or with already established enemies.

Commissar Mcballin said:

Well I guess you didn't like No-1's stuff. You can also dig up some Dark Eldar stuff if you look in the houserules forum and do a search. I think there is some Necron stuff in there as well you might compare your stats against.

Charmander, it is soo awesome that you got here before I did....I am simply blown away by the level of patience and calmness demonstrated herein...I don't know how you people do it... (My reply was gonna be much less nice, and I was ranting on and on about censorship ....my poor lost post!...)

If there's anything to be learned here, boys 'n girls, it's that honey attracts more love than vinegar. Politeness and courtesy are the way to go.

So, yeah....my righteously indignant thunder got stolen...I'm outta here!

Thank you, I have found that if I delete my original responses a couple of time, by iteration 3 or 4 I have something that is much more constructive.

If I could only do this when I'm talking to people face to face.

^ noobs

You speak wisdom, Charmander! Measure twice, cut once (or as we say hereabouts: 'I cut her three times and she's still too short!")

Let this thread die....

Please.

Let this thread die....

Please.

And yet you bumped it...

"It is said that at the dawning of M3 would come

a great war of fire and fury.

And lo, shall one troll fall

as another rises.

The flames will gutter

and die

and leave but ashes

but the warriors of the war

shall remain to stand.

"Long will they stand,

in silence, awkward,

until one rises and cries,

ENOUGH!

Allow this war to have its end!

Allow this battleground to return

to nothingness!

Quit this place and speak of it not,

lest history repeat

and the war of fire and fury ignites anew!

"But in their hubris,

they will not listen.

The war that had consumed

so many lunch breaks.

That raised a fearsome

nerdrage in us all.

It would not quiet.

It would not go willingly,

and we did not let it die.

"Let this battleground live.

Let it stand as a warning,

to any who would boast

of gaming weeks of five days.

Let it stand as a warning,

to all who would claim

to make other groups

defecate in their pants.

Let it stand as a warning,

to every warrior of the internet,

that some claims will not go

unquestioned.

Let it stand my brothers,

let it stand."

Dammit Kylan, you win the internets!

I assume FFG did market research and developed their books with that in mind. If you think they're horrible, that's likely because you're not part of the target audience.

I think you've guaranteed yourself a position as a remembrancer in a future life my friend.

Future life? Skald fo' life, baby!

Commissar Mcballin said:

That's because tabletop doesn't preserve canon. I've seen official matches with combined tyranid/sisters of battle armies going up against combined ork/dark eldar/necrons. DEATHWATCH IS AN RPG - IT IS NOT A BLACK LIBRARY VEHICLE FOR THE RANDOM RETCON **** THEY PULL. If you want stats, make them or search for them yourself.

Commissar Mcballin said:

So, basically, you want everyone else to do everything for you, including absolutely everything from 40K in their work, so that you can have it, for free, because you don't like what FFG has produced and you're not going to spend the money on it? In short: No.

Data007 said:

True.

Sometime I wonder why some of us play RPG.

You think this game miss some heroes and places, things to make the world more alive.

I don't want to be rude but wtf do it.

It's your game, it is your world.

Look at stats for NPC and adapt what you need. It isn't that difficult.

Take a look at your players level if you need to see xhat they can fight and make your own special human, xenos or whatever you like.

More you will construct your game, the most your player will like it.

Good luck to you and if you need some advise post some templates you've done and we will help you to make them even better.

All I want is a Leman Russ tank, so I can actually use Rising Tempest as written. That would make papa smile.

I'm going to swap the LR for three Sentinel walkers, using the Into the Storm stats.

This isn't entirely true - the amount of usable RPG material in a fictional setting has nothing to do with its in-character physical size and has everything to do with the number of interesting, usable plothooks attached to it. In this sense the number of actual *planets* in the Jericho Reach is a complete red herring, what matters is the amount of interesting source material.

Of course the OP seems to be complaining that Deathwatch does not contain *literally as much source material as the entire Black Library back catalogue*.

Why don't you just make some up?
