So hello everyone, I hope I'm in the right place!As for 40k itself I've never actually DM'd a session, much less a campaign, but from listening to many podcasts about it and thoroughly studying the rulebooks I can safely say it's just as rich as Pathfinder when it comes to background material and depth of gameplay. Having DM'd Pathfinder a fair bit I'm not confident in giving a preview before the first session, but the books reads as though narrative time (during which the players dictate the story 'layer' choices and interactions of the campaign) is actually more the focus than structured time (essentially combat and other initiative-critical situations). Compared to Pathfinder it should be an interesting change, as our group has historically spent more real time in the latter than the former.One game that I mostly definitely can recommend is All Flesh Must Be Eaten, which uses the Unisystem. I have no experience with Unisystem but the structure of the game allows for a much more flexible initiative-style combat system, in that the number of actions you can perform is limited only by what you think your character can get away with. Subsequent actions after the second are given a cumulative penalty to the roll, meaning you can certainly try and shoot the zombie horde five times, but it's unlikely that you'll hit many of them without being an excellent shooter.It's also an extremely fun game to DM - RPPR produced a podcast episode of it based in The Shard building in London, which I borrowed for the initial session for my group. It went down very well, with more chaos than usual. The recording for that session goes on for about 4 hours, unusual for us!</blockquote>
