Rogue Trader- Lure of the expanses(Re_ Recruiting) CLOSED

We are still early in the adventuer , but currently looking for new players. We lost the Rogue trader of the Yorke dynasty to Real life, along with some other players. The Dynasty will be Yorke( even if someone step up to be the Rouge trader) and the game is xeno friendly. Current players are * Ork Freeboota( First mate , was the RT's bodyguard) * Arch militant * Explorator * Ship handling( and mostly drunk) Voidmaster I am looking for three players( maybe 4), The group lacks in people skills, or trade skills so Sociable Pc's are welcome. Pc's have a total of 9000 xp total( this includes the 4'500 xp built into the life path) Books allowed are Core, Battle fleet Koronus, Into the storm and Hostile Acquisitions. Anything not in those books, I will not allow. Games are on Fridays 10PM to about 2 Am EST(-5 GMT)

I always wanted to try a Rogue Trader game. Can I join as the Rogue Trader you lot lost?

You guys clearly need a Seneschal to make sure everything is ready to go according to plan, before you head out, I will put him up in a bit once i get him made. EDIT: how do you want Characteristics determined?

Character Generation is standard roll. Although of the life path career is a free choice and not tied to the path. Here is a link to something I use for a pbp mapping <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/39738/3MFk7Q" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/39738/3MFk7Q</a>. You can log into that game and make your rolls if you wish. @ Peter, I have no issue with you wanting to play the RT. Although at 8 sessions in the Yorke house is a must for last name. The dynasty has ties to xenos and seems to have a history of the cold trade or at lest a fascination with xeno items. After all an Ork is the first mate.

Of Course, that's understandable and the last name will be Yorke. Edit: If I choose something that gives me a skill, but something else gives me the same skill, do I increase that skill by one? Also, I rolled Random Heirloom and got Saint Blessed Carapace Armor, which Carapace armor should I base it on? Stormtrooper or Light?

I am guessing you are "Ygmir" peter? If a skill repeats you have two options. A: Take the skill a second time gaining the +10 to that skill( this counts as the +10 from advancement so you could not take the +10 from advancement again as you have it) or B: gain 50 extra xp. The Armor does not say, So take your pick.

One thing guys the Game link above , while to a Roll 20 game is not the Rogue Trader game. It is a game I have set up for mapping combat on an off site play by post game. Its just easier to have folks roll on site so I use that.

Thanks, and no, I'm not Ygmir, but thanks for the compliment.

I was simply wondering as he seems to be the only one who has rolled stats. If I may ask, where did you roll if not the link I posted?

oh, sorry, I rolled using my own die, didn't think I had to use the link.

Yeah man, to be fair on everyone as I had the current players roll in room, I have to ask new folks to roll where I can see them as well.

Alright, will re-roll in the room.

Do we roll Starting Profit factor? Also, if we put experience in a skill we don't have as basic, does it go to basic or up to trained?

Here is Raziel Holt, Seneschal of the Imperium.

damn it I need help in understanding timezones, so I can be on when everyone else is on. I live in LA i forgot what my timezone is called all I remember is +8

if you're in LA, you're Pacific, that's 2 hours behind me (central), eastern is a hour ahead of me, so 3 hours ahead of you.

So to meet up with everyone Id have to be on roll20 at 7pm correct?

Right, and I'll have to meet up at 9

Ah ok cool I'm pretty excited for the game

Peter the PF and ships are already finished the group is on its 8th session after all. Current PF is 35 and they own a Frigate and a raider. Also yes it would be 7ish for the west coast.

How about the Experience? If we buy a skill with the EXP, does it go to Basic or Trained?

Basic is stuff you can not buy. Its skills you just know how to use( although not well) Basic skills are at 1/2 the linked attribute. Trained skills are at the full rank. Also as this gets confused much with new players you have 9000 xp total, however 4'500 of that is used during base creation and you can not spend. Its used during the path. It was just some odd thing they did to make the xp charts match for all the 40k games.

Alright, character is done. We going to be doing this with skype as well or just Roll20?

Hi I am the mostly drunken Void Master in case anyone was wondering. Also hates Xenos and fears the emperor like a proper imperial citizen.

Ygmir, I'll look over your sheet tonight. Peter I'll need to see your sheet. And The game will be played here.

Alright, sounds good.

Need to see my sheet?

Yes Jessie. Put them online or attache a rile is fine. So far it looks like just you three.

Does anyone know how I can upload it here not as a pdf file? Says its too big

Says my PDF is too big too D:

Convert it to a jpeg file.

Here ya go, found a good website to convert it :D

Those are really, really tiny and not readable. ( Never mind, it was simply my browser being a dick)

WOW, you're right. When I first put them up, it let me click them and they worked before hand, dunno what happened. Let me try something. Edit: tried again, and it works now, dunno what's going on, I just left click and it takes the entire field, but if you keep having problems, I'll just put them on Imgur.

Seems to work now, I thought it was just my browser acting up.

Same here, so you're not alone.

oh, my Fate points should be at 4, but the program derped and set them to 40

40 fate points? You're set for life then!

Damn it I forgot to change the PF Edit: I should've just edited...ugh

Jesse, you did make sure that you set the doc share to "Anyone with this link" right? I had to come in and see how the re-recruiting was going Shannon. xD So far, it seems well.

Ok i think I did it EDIT: I forgot to ask on weapon training (universal) does that mean I have weapon training in all those forms for the weapon or I just pick one?

Sorry guys, I have had a long day. I have not gotten to look over the sheets yet, but so far it is just you three that have them anyhow. I should get them looked over in the morning.

Ok I shall take all three, thanks for the interest.
