Greetings,
Deathwatch
fans!
The
Deathwatch
Core Rulebook
premiered at Gen Con 2010 on August 5! I was definitely not prepared for the massive response from the 40K RPG fans... it was a huge ball of amazing and awesome rolled into one. There was a huge 16-foot-tall image of a Space Marine from the book highlighting where to go to find out more about the
Deathwatch
RPG, and lines for the book were full of some really excited fans anticipating taking on the role of a Space Marine in an RPG for the first time!
I spoke to quite a few fans at the
Deathwatch
seminars throughout the con, ably aided by
Deathwatch
author Andrea Gausman. Andrea’s presence was very helpful, not only because she worked on the core rulebook, but she is also the author of the
Deathwatch GM’s Kit
and the forthcoming
The Emperor Protects
adventure book. Unveiling the game, answering questions from fans, and chatting about 40K was an extremely fun and inspiring experience, and after returning from Gen Con I am motivated more than ever to expand the
Deathwatch
line with plenty of new books!
The entire RPG department here at Fantasy Flight Games (including myself, Jay Little, Dan Clark, Mack Martin, and Sam Stewart) really enjoyed meeting our fans and discussing the worlds and characters these games bring to life. I’d like to extend a special thanks to Ashley & Bill (seen in the picture at right), who were first in line for
Deathwatch
(and for
Rogue Trader
last year, as well!) and to all the great fans attending Gen Con 2010.
As a special bonus, this week I’m pleased to present the downloadable version of the
Deathwatch
character sheet plus the Squad/Solo mode sheet. These resources can also be found on the
Deathwatch
Support Page to make your games of
Deathwatch
easier!
