Suggestion for Deathwatch Collectors Edition

[Suggestion for Deathwatch Collectors Edition]

How about just using steel plates for the covers, with the Aquilla stamped in?

[DH-esque movies and music?]

Have a listen into anything by Diary of Dreams - especailly the Album "One of 18 Angels" - trust me, the "dreams" are more of the Nightmare-variety

While I'm not in the position to join the game, please let me say I loved your trailer

Most machines don't "really" have a Machine Spirit, apart from what the AM project into them. Most devices that DO have a Machine Spirit have, in fact, a complex Expert System from the Dark Age of technology. You know, things like Eliza, or modern attempts at AI.

 

 

Who is Eliza?

Great. Now, waiting becomes even more intolerable... Thanks

I plan on having my characters invited to tea...

One thing you have to remember in the Warhammer metaphysic is that belief shapes reality. If millions of people believe in the power of a Machine Spirit, the Machine Spirit will have some of that power. Orks have a greater belief and an easier time shaping it, hence why Red Unz observably Go Faster.

At least, that's how I run it.

I think that only works for the Orks because they're all psionic at some level. Or am I misremembering?

Most machines don't "really" have a Machine Spirit, apart from what the AM project into them. Most devices that DO have a Machine Spirit have, in fact, a complex Expert System from the Dark Age of technology. You know, things like Eliza, or modern attempts at AI. The most complex systems are true AIs - the only ones I can think of would be Titans (In old fluff they were basically scans of Dog Brains and the like), devices from the DAoT, maybe Land Raiders, and some AM Plants.

[Generation Ships and other weirdness]

It has been mentioned in certain places of the Background of the 4oK Universe that humanity sent out generation- and sleeperships before warp travel was discovered. Now, suppose such a ship were to appear in the Calexis sector, and the Players were sent out by their Inquisitor to investigate. What happens? What do they find?

[Appropriate starting xp for new players?]

How bad would it be to let new players / characters start with the basic 400XP and let them work their way up?
