I will be either running a Deathwatch or Only War game on thursdays. It will be a chat-based game, either using Maptools or Teamspeak. Please vote in the above poll if you have a preference one way or the other.
DEATHWATCH
As members of the elite Deathwatch team of space marines, tasked with combating the Xenos threat, you have been deployed to Korol III, a small agriworld in the middle of Segmentum Ultima. An Inquisitor detected an invasion of previously unknown Xenos, capable of controlling the minds of Imperial Citizens, shortly before her death. You are being sent in to stop the Xenos and restore order, hopefully without needing to call in more Astartes.
Deathwatch is a game of playing supersoldier space marines in neigh-impenetrable power armor wielding incredible weapons against alien hordes, strange technology and the power of Chaos. It is squad-focused and lends itself well to ridiculous action sequences. (Note: Only War combat and leveling mechanics will be used. I'll post the full house rules if this is chosen)
ONLY WAR
The rocky canyons of Ionus I and the highly charged atmosphere make this planet difficult for the Imperial Guard, as they cannot bring their full numbers to bear, their air supremacy is reduced and their artillery accuracy is shot to hell. However, it is the latest battlefield against the Ork menace. Lead by Warboss Lagnog, it has ravaged four other systems and must be stopped here, at all costs.
Only War focuses on the military side of things, with the players assuming the role of human guardsmen, the rank-and-file soldiers of the Imperium of Man. Lower power but larger scale, Only War will focus on the PC regiment as it wages its campaigns across the Galaxy.
