Hahaha! That's a hell of a way to go! We once had a dispute about how to breach a door to a den of hive gangers that had info we needed, and they knew we were coming. The guardsman was ****y from previous engagements with his flak armour and decided that, hell, how bad can it be? Kicked down the door and the instant after that he started dancing to the rythm of Heavy Stubber fire that nailed him to the wall. Ah, yeah, I can sympathize with that. We've rarely had much problem with it, noone has really minded when characters argue between each other and we let it slide even though it could take quite a long time. In the rare times it's been appropriate we've sent the two players of to another room, because their characters has been isolated. We've had a couple of those ones in Deathwatch of all games, were we were about to head into an hive-ship, and before that me as a White Consul argued to off the Guardsmen that had defended against Tyranids for two months, on their own, because they could've been infected while the Black Templar and leader of the group said the opposite. We did settle down between ourselves that, okay, lets deal with that afterwards when a third, up until then - silent - player said "we need to deal with this now I think, but I lay down my vote" and thus forcing another confrontation (wich cost us 1d10+2 cohesion). Anyways, we're usually pretty lax about these things since they can get some awesome moments going. Rules and fluff though, are a no go during sessions. We've got three GM's, and we've set down the rules, and as soon as fluff comes up we've got usually got two GM's to check it off damn near immediately. Also came back now from our Only War session. We started at ~1800, with everyone being ready for an evening of introductions and basically "bonding"/getting to know each other. And at roughly 2100 the real first die was rolled. Introductions and loads of RP back and forth between everyone, except me, since I was the target of most said RP due to being a Commissar recently attached to the group and it was all done behind my back. At 23:30 we were in our first real combat, in wich 2 people froze with fear, one ran screaming and one ratling cackled manically and started shooting at the group. Or, well, the commissar as it turns out. And killed me. While I was absoutely petrified and could'nt defend myself. One burned Fate-point later; We eventually managed to off the creature that scared us ****less, after me being the only person that, were close to dying. Frickin' point blank combat shotguns! This is'nt the only time this exact thing has happened to me either, it's happened to me 3 times before that my characters has been killed in the exact same way, though slightly different weapons. Was good fun and a great evening!

Mm, sounds like good, well rounded, groups to me. We've not had psyker players for a long time, since the GM never lets us buy anthing prematurely (Though from rivalling paths for double XP is no problem) a psyker just ends up being a liability that noone in the group wants to play. We have a pretty bad track record, some really bad luck, with psykers having a tendency to, well - get possessed and murdering the rest of the group. :D Our current DH group essentially consists of my assassin, since the rest of the group decided to fight the obviously badass monster instead of running and setting something up. Oh, well. I like the composition of your second group, the one you GM for; It sounds like there are plenty of possibilities for some hatred back and forth, since you've got an Sororitas in there. Does'nt seem to be the most discrete composition that you could end up with though, since all but the sororita have obvious signs of what they are (3'd eye, sanctioning brand and Bionics). ^^ We usually pull about the same amount of time, though we generally tend to get roughly 200xp per session (Unless we don't actually accomplish anything, then we just dole out a small XP bonus for RP if that was the case). We have alot of joking around depending on what games we play, DH not so much since we go for the oppressive feel mostly, but Deathwatch, Black Crusade and Rogue Trader tend to get really silly! I like the concepts, the reason why I asked was because we've had plenty of powergamers ourselves, doing things such as playing Nobleborn scum/assassin and such, just to get the moneys and kickass talents. Speaking of conflicts, I'm now going to get ready to head to my mates and start building my new Commissar for Only War, a freshly minted commissar for a feral scout company... Several members of the group have already been sentenced to death by various (dead) asshat Commissars and traitors, so this will be an evening of lots of conflicts back and forth!

I'm going to dissapoint you some more then, it's a good looking AR, but I honestly thought it was just a FAMAS copy or modded FAMAS with picatinny rails.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/09/11/steam-adding-option-to-share-and-borrow-games/ I did'nt see it linked anywhere else here, so. It's quite depressing that they can take away your ability to sell, share and borrow games and then give back a little of it, and get lauded for it.

It matches up pretty well with what I've expected, the new group makeup though has left us with noone wanting to play any kind of intellectual character, they go for the murdering feats pretty much exclusively, and as such always, always manages to die anyway. We've had a couple of characters reaching Throne Agent levels (Spoke about it a couple of pages back actually) and it was both fun and anguishing to play them! The thought of loosing a several years old character is quite haunting. How well rounded do they typically end up being for you, or do they take a similar approach? 200 sounds like a pretty low amount, but that would depend, how long are your sessions? We use an approach more similar to the one you're speaking about, the solid chunks were never popular since we also award extra effort and accomplishments. Though we've never had a full noble cell! Is that by design or did the players see the $$$? The most wealthy character we've had in the group was a Scum, the player had managed to build up an armstrading/cold trade network, with a little help from the inquisition ofcourse. It was one of the more fun groups to play with, since we skirted the Radical line a bit and also tried to advance the characters personal goals just asmuch as the Inquisitions, while we normally play more puritan style. We've rarely been given anything from the Inquisitor besides the normal pay, but we are ofcourse free to pilfer anything aslong as we don't get caught.

There, fix't. :3

Well, I took it as an insult, I've always bent over backwards in helping and being there for my friends, and her not noticing made me feel ****. Goddamn bimbo. Having difficulties deciding what to do today, mowing the lawn or help fixing my friends rallycar.

I'd say yes.

Yeah, our group recently got hold of the beta books, and I thought it was just a big epic trolling attempt by Fantasy Flight and GW... Been reading some of the passages, and while some of the things are relatively interesting, it feels like it's been forcibly broken. My biggest personal gripe is that they've removed Thrones/currency for Influence. I liked the old system, were you had to scrounge for those thrones and had essentially no help from the inquisitor. Influence does not suit Dark Heresy, where you are supposed to be a nobody! Atleast the first three books were reasonably compatible, while Black Crusade and Only War, while having better balanced rules, are'nt.

Not as far as I know, the only thing they ever said when I asked was "she home", "she could'nt make it". Another friend was'nt told either, and was just as upset as I was when I told him an hour or two ago, when I tried to find out why noone told me. One person thought that I "did'nt care about such things". O.o

I've heard that the youth of today get it on early, but daymn!

It's the only thing I heard she can't do anymore (Wich sucks for someone that was really into WoW for instance.), but it's quite possible that other things are affected; Memories that are gone, and personality changes.

Out of you here that have GM'd or played Dark Heresy alot, how powerful does your acolytes typically end up becoming? Have you yet managed to cultivate a character from Acolyte up to Inquisitor/Throne Agent? I'm also a bit curious how other people dole out rewards, such as thrones, equipment and XP.

To say the least, I have'nt been able to meet up with them as much as I've wanted to, but damn it. That's kind of serious enough to warrant telling me...

I just spoke to some friends of mine that thought it to be about time to tell me that during midsummer, a friend of mine found that she had developed a tumor in her brain, wich had knocked out her ability to read English, recently actually survived her surgery and was going home soon. I'm kind of really, really pissed off that noone told me about it when I ****ing asked where she was.

War. War never changes. Well, let's see: America decimated by nuclear fallout? Check Dog companion? Check Yup must be a Fallout game. Can't be any worse than Bethsoft, atleast the writing might be on par, and the shooting will be fun.

Hehehe! It is awesome sitting and playing some awesome game when the wind is howling outside and the raindrops smattering on your windowsill... If I were to live down there I'd probably get some form of anxiety disorder, or just go proper nuts.

People that know me and have observed my behavior usually ask wether I'm really a human or an alien being, but I don't have any problems with winter or darkness and neither have I ever heard my friends complain about it. Then again, they consume lots and lots of alcohol. And sex. Usually those two go hand in hand. Also as Ros says up there; Most people that have grown up here are used to it. When you've known nothing but dark winters it's business as usual. It's makes for a quack mecca though. Or how about light earbuds? XD

He's just monumentally stupid, he does'nt understand the concept of sentimental worth nor does he understand anything about weapons. So a rifle is a rifle to him, and not worth anything - and noone, especially not his nephew wich spent most of his summers at the gunrange, could have any interest in it. He did'nt know either that the rifle was customized and worth thousands more than a regular mauser.. He did'nt even consider giving it to any of the hunters around here. *Facepalm* Yeah, friggin governments usually are shortsighted as hell. They don't seem to want to recoup money they've spent or make any effort into it. Such a damn waste of materials, time and money. It especially sucks for the military that could've gotten money out of it to spend on something else, hell, they probably could've traded them back to Steyr, and then Steyr could've sold them to another market. The 9.3*62 is a sweet round, well balanced all round case. Well, aslong as you don't want to shoot really long ranges atleast!

Not really, if anything I'm more a fan of full rifle rounds, but the rifle is an impressive one! I really like the engineering effort that's gone into the recoiling barrel system, and having two bullets striking the same spot up to 100 meters certainly is impressive! If I had to say an caliber at all it's 9.3x62. I was supposed to get my grandfathers Mauser rifle but my uncle decided to hand it in to the police for destruction instead. ****ing ****munching asshat.

Hehehe! Yeah, it does look a little silly, but it's an muzzlebrake from what I've been told. I thought it was some sort of blank-firing adapter the first time I saw it. By all means, scoff at the silly muzzlebrake, it still fires that neat 2-round burst.

Smexy... Love old battle rifles! Parts of the FG's action are behind the triggergroup though, since the stock houses the recoil springs, extractor and whatnot. I'd reckon that it qualifies It's really impressive that they have the single shot configured to fire from a closed bolt and the full auto from an open bolt. It's impressive that the engineers managed to build the rifle despite the weird demands of the Luftwaffe! "Help I've FALlen and I can't get up!" One of my favourite modern rifles, the AN-94;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcUi6UEQh00 I don't think I've posted this or seen it posted here, and it might not be entirely fitting for the thread, but I think this is funny.(And interesting!) What english sounds like to non english speakers!

Surely, you must be thinking of the FG42? That rifle did have big recoil issues from what I've learned. I must say that I have absolutely no problem with the Nazi gear and such, and I absolutely love how badass their uniforms looks and their engineering skills. Their ideology is just plain retarded, but I really have a soft spot for Nazi planes, guns, uniforms and tanks.
