About the adventure
THE ALIEN HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST. You were a hero of your Astartes Chapter. A legend among brothers. That life is over. You have been chosen for the Deathwatch - the scalpel of the Inquisition, the Long Vigil that stands between Humanity and the encroaching dark. You are no longer just a soldier; you are the Emperor’s final, whispered lethal sentence. FORGET YOUR NAME. REMEMBER YOUR OATH. The colors of your home have been stripped away, replaced by the Onyx Plate - the void-black ceramite of the Ordo Xenos. Only your right shoulder remains to honor your past. Your left arm? A gleaming, silver bulwark etched with High Gothic Litanies of Hatred, fusion-scored into the metal to act as a holy conduit for your rage. BEYOND HUMAN. BEYOND DEATH. As the airlock cycles, your Twin Hearts settle into a war-rhythm. To a mortal, the doors haven't even moved. To you, the world is in slow motion. 0.01 Seconds: The Xenos appears. 0.02 Seconds: Your Bolter is leveled with surgical precision. 0.03 Seconds: The trigger is pulled. "DEATH TO THE XENOS!" Post Scriptum Meta: The game draws heavily from "Purge the Swarm" core book. Discord hosted video-camera-driven theatre of the mind. This is a standalone story arc with laid groundwork for a larger campaign upon demand.

About me
This section asks to list my experience GMing and my experience with tabletop games. This almost baits me to brag, so the following answer is in matter of fact fashion, to the point. - "Tabletop games" is a broad category, so I will skip Monopoly, Scramble, Mafia, Splendor, Fallout, Cards against Humanity, Uno, Carcassonne etc. Only to say, yes, I thoroughly enjoyed those games. - Started off at school as Warhammer fan, but I found I liked painting minifigs with friends way more than core rule-book games. I liked communal aspect, and connection, so I gathered them, made it a point to schedule during year 9 and 10. - Hosted D&D club back in middle school and high school (GCSE and A-levels for my fellow Brits), we ran classic dungeon crawls in 3e, had a blast painting minifigs, organising and hosting all whilst introducing new players into the hobby. - Throughout university years and up until now, hosted TTRPGs both in private and public groups (Uni clubs and local Game stores wherever I happened to live at the time), ever since covid run campaigns online via Discord. - D&D 5e, WoD (including Mage the Ascention, Werewold the Apocalypse 3e, and Vampire the Masquerade), from Talsorian: Witcher and fully chromebooked cyberpunk 2020. Overall, I am a classic forever GM, who even got to play here and than, as most of my players ended up graduating into GMs, each for their individual reasons. I love people, and I love gifting them with fleeting connection of private good times.
