So I'll just post up a blurb on myself since well, this board is kind of quiet.   I am Pumpkin Seeds and I will be your Game Master for this game.  My love of Warhammer 40k started in highschool with my brother doing his collection of Dark Angel Space Marines.  I fell in love with the whole mystic of them and to this day have a special place in my mind for that misunderstood Chapter (though I do think they are a bit devious).  From there I did start a Biel-Tan army and also had a 1000 point Salamander army.  Both were lost to me in Hurricane Katrina and I just don't have the time to pick back up the hobby and really the money involved is too staggering now.  Plus I was never very good.<br/><br/>Anyway, that's my background with the miniature part.  As for role playing I am considered pretty good I think.  My posting rate is slow because I work in a high stress job and being pregnant has only slowed me down more.  So I don't think anyone in this game needs to feel rushed to post more than once or twice a week.  I also don't expect massive posts if your character is just shooting their weapon.  I understand that not every bolter round needs to be this amazing event and I would like to focus the dramatic writing to this moments.  Leaping over a tyranid warrior so you can line up a crucial bolter shot on a Hive Tyrant attempting to feast on a Battle Brother is more worthy of that time than firing from cover at Ork number 134.  My aim for many of these adventures will be over the top action coupled with political choices that will allow the players to take a hand in who they follow and which direction they take the campaign.  Fight for peace with the Tau, push to kill them all or strike out on your own for personal goals are all options I want players to consider for their characters.  That is where the Allies and Enemies section will come into play as many of these NPCs will offer objectives and benefits/consequences.  My feel is that Death Watch always gets a bad reputation for a lack of role playing where I think the game offers great opportunity for role play since the combat is so well handled.<br/><br/>Currently I am working on the first adventure in terms of simply hammering out details.  I will more than likely get at least an introduction post up for people to participate together over this upcoming weekend along with a briefing of the objectives by the Watch Captain.
