Greetings, Deathwatch fans!

This week, the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay department at Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the 2011 Deathwatch Adventure Contest!

This year’s adventure contest will allow you to make your mark in the halls of Watch Fortress Erioch by crafting an epic adventure amongst the stars of the Jericho Reach. Your adventure must also contain a short backstory (no less than 1,000 words and no more than 2,000 words) for the Deathwatch Watch Captain who is in charge of the Kill-team during the adventure.

The winning entry’s adventure and Watch Captain will be posted on the Deathwatch website and the Watch Captain will become an official member of the Deathwatch in the Jericho Reach!
