Whats deathwatch? is it fun?

**Brother SRM**

I'm assuming you mean the roleplaying game. I've heard good things about it, and it's compatible with Dark Heresy and the other FFG RPGs.

**Akroma06**

I've had fun with it. Especially with the new expansions for it so you can make your own chapter and be evil! It isn't quite as fun as dark heresy IMHO, but still a blast.

Like on a basic level what is the game?

A role playing game, as I said. Pens, paper, dice, character sheets, and sometimes miniatures but those are optional.

Its Dungeons and Dragons in the 40K universe: parties of Space Marines hacking and slashing their way across the stars

And it's heaps of fun. We've been playing pretty much nothing else this year.

**H.B.M.C.**

Major League Pokemon? Mixing lime and pomegranate? Modern Life Programming? Maui Land & Pineapple Co on the NYSE? Don't assume everyone knows your own private abbreviations (especially if they don't come up on dakka's auto abbrevation widget).

I've got the books but not got to play yet, even the pics and story are addictive :(

I'm assuming he means My Little Pony.

As someone who enjoys the show, I don't quite see it either. Well, except for the
BIG ADVENTURE
TONS OF FUN

Never would have guessed that one.. probably would have put it after the pomegranate one in order of likelihood. Thanks.
