[Rogue-Trader]: The Benedictus Dominatus (LFM 2 Players): Started campaign 30+ Sessions

Edited 1423855646
Greetings Roll20, do excuse the wall of text that’s about to fall on you all. Some quick information that needs to get out of the way before I drop into anything else: The game is on Thursdays 19.30-01.00 (+/-) one hour GMT+1 , its voice based and uses Teamspeak 3 for communication purposes and Roll20 for the maps. Now, hello everyone - I´ve recently after some of my players ended up having schedule problems over the last few weeks been looking into supplementing my campaign with more people, the only problem being: The campaign is a quite long one, one of the primary reasons I´d rather not shut it down (and the fact my other players enjoy it too much) The campaign started little more than a year ago and have been running strong for 30-40 sessions since then and have so far in terms of story-telling just exited out of the prologe into the campaign proper (players are now around rank 3-4 and are sitting at about 30 PR) I am currently in need of someone willing to take the important role of the Rogue-Trader (you´ll be from the same dynasty as the last one, other than that all is up in the air - more information will be forwarded to anyone requesting to fill the role) and another character whom is open for grabs to what-ever they feel like doing that is reasonable (I do allow splash-books, but I maintain a final right to clear any purchase before you do it). As a note: The role of Pilot, Seneschal, Navigator and Arch-militant are currently occupied. That said, the campaign is -very- RP focused, and with very I mean VERY, don´t expect to see combat for maybe 5-6 sessions easily while you deal with the horrible nature of your ship (I´ll get into benny later) and the various RP problems that plague a Rogue-Trader from maintaining morale to gaining endless profit through selling sand. I stress this point by saying that if you want to join do so with the mentality that it’s a campaign where you could spend an entire session just talking about what-ever on the ship as it travels through the Warp to its destination. It’s a rather "slow" campaign, not for lack of things to do but for the design being rather grand in scope and for the characters all having their own goals and motivations - which I´ll be expecting from your character alongside a write-up of some questions (this will be forwarded) In addition before I invite you into the campaign I´d like a one-on-one talk, just to see what you´re expecting from the campaign - and if you´d fit in) I might change some cannon around to further the story, and as the GM reserve my right to change some things around to ensure the game flows smoothly - if you are a die-hard fan of the lore and refuse to let even the slightest inaccuracy slide then maybe it ought to be best to find another game - with that said I won´t change something major, the Emperor is still on the throne, there is only war a lasgun is a lasgun and its shit etc - what I mean is that I can´t remember every single minute detail of all regiments/planets in the world - if I say that you meet the 623th cadian and that its colonel have black hair I really can´t be arsed to deal with I would rather not have to deal with a player coming in and saying: "Actually according to page 210 of the 3rd edition (revised version) he´s a she and she´s got brown hair" (this have happened for the record) I understand the importance of keeping true to the source material but I will at times takes some liberties - think of my game as detached from the established canon much like many of the BL books. You can expect combat maps for most maps involving shooting - but not all, sometimes I´ll run the "mind’s eye" version where I´ll describe the combat, an example of my horrible map building can be found here: <a href="http://oi62.tinypic.com/suzj10.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://oi62.tinypic.com/suzj10.jpg</a> its generally this style you can expect from my maps this one is 80x80 some are going to be larger some smaller. If you are interested in what I sound like since I´ll be describing the things you see here´s an example: <a href="http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Kjcj8PVWnU" rel="nofollow">http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Kjcj8PVWnU</a> General notes in regards to house-rules: I (by popular demand of the group) roll everything behind the screen, all rolls pertaining to your character - corruption, insanity, etc. are all rolled by you in the open. We use the combat rules and stats for weapons from OW (and the healing as well) Everyone starts play with one fate-point and don´t roll for it (in return I tend to hand them out more regularly) Now then, for the campaign pitch: The Benedictus Dominatus is an ancient war-ship with a past heading all the way back to the dark-years of mankind during the Horus Heresy, she´s served across countless battlefields and have been lost, recovered and retrofitted so many times not even the demented machine-spirits keeping her plasma cores alive remember it fully, she was found by the (in)-famous Bannon Family sleeping in the void between stars and quickly claimed by one of the younger sons, who never really realized just what he had gotten himself into. Queue the adventures of the crew fighting tooth and nail to acquire manpower, resources and beating of any rivals grasping for the vessel - all the while countless factions have showed an uncanny interest in the grand-cruiser from the Mechanicus to the Ecclisiarchy to the mighty Admirals of the navy and the enigmatic eldar, all seemingly knowing more about her past then they´d like to divulge. But The Benedictus have secrets she´d rather keep to herself and her hull contains things best forgotten by mortal men, for if the words inscribed on the throne of her bridge is true beware ye who tries to demand her service - for The Benedictus Dominatus suffers no master for long . Now then - either contact me here or skype under DarkNeroan for more information in regards to the campaign. Yours truly. -F PS: Plz no bully jack I tried to keep it simple

Thursdays 19.30-01.00 (+/- 1) in which timezone?
Seems I missed the GMT+1 - could have sworn that was in there, sorry about that. The game is on Thursdays 19.30-01.00 (+/-) one hour GMT+1
I'd be more than happy to talk more about it since this looks rather good, but nothing shows up after that name on Skype. A mistake?
Try just " darkneroan ". Also the RT spot is filled.
I may be interested, if it doesn't bother you having a new player to the warhammer universe.

can you link to your game pages so i can check what time it would be here My skype name is douglas66661
Greeting, excuse the delay in replies. I`ve had around ten-fifteen people reply on either Skype/roll20 and sorting through them after work took awhile. So far I´ve replaced my lost Rogue-Trader and am looking for a free role fill, send me a PM with your character concepts and we´ll work from there. Mike said: I may be interested, if it doesn't bother you having a new player to the warhammer universe. Generally not, but its encouraged to have an understanding of the lore, to the point where you'll know if you´d like the universe or not, its grimderp and not everyones cup of tea.

This sounds like an awesome campaign, and I have been playing warhammer40k since I was 8. The only issue is, it seems like quite a time commitment and I already dm 2 campaings tues/thursday nights.Good luck with the campaign though, It sounds pretty sweet.
Greetings Roll20! After one of our members have gotten into the ill-fated destiny of real life this campaign now have a spot open - add in a few more sessions landing around 40~~ish, contact me for more information! Yours truly. -Néro

Whoops I messed up the time zone, haha thats way to late for me sadly. And yet I wish I could play.
If I didn't screw up converting the time zones, I would be able to play and would love to join if still possible.
