Long story short I'm looking to get into a Rogue Trader game. I haven't
been able to experience all the fun that comes with Rogue Trader which
is absent from the others. Namely, ship combat, working with and playing
xenos, and generally not being "straight up, ate up" with the Imperium
views on things. That being said, here is what I am looking for in a
game: Players: Cool with solo considering what I am looking for (see requests below), but would prefer 3 or maybe 4 players. Day and Time: Saturdays around 8 or 830 pm CST and going for 3-4 hours. Weekly would be preferred but biweekly works as well. Plot: Don't
actually have too much in mind for this. The chance to explore the
alien and unknown would be nice. If someone is willing to advance the
story line of the setting, following the newer books or not, I would be
excited. Really, I don't have too much thought into a plot, just want to
finally get to use some of the cool facets of Rogue Trader. I'm not a
huge stickler about canon, if you want to change some stuff let's do it.
Some of my requests below might even go directly against what the
setting has established, but hey, this is our game. Special Requests:
This is where I've got a few things I'd like to throw out there. Like I
mentioned, I haven't had many chances to experience all that RT brings
to the table so to fix that here's what I'm hoping to find. -Since
I'd like to play either solo or in a really small group, I would like to
have multiple characters on a roster per player. During actual
missions, only two per player would be active with the rest being on the
ship. If there are less people or it ends up being solo, then more
would be active. At the end of the day the 40k systems are deadly so
more characters we can bring the higher the chances we live. This also
lets us try unique concepts without being stuck with something that
doesn't work for us as players or the group of characters. -Each
player gets to command a ship. Don't care if it's only one person who
plays the actual Rogue Trader but lets each players' characters command
their own ship, or if everyone has a RT who are all minor people in a
larger dynasty and are working together. Either way, there are so many
cool and varying builds with the ships that never seem to get explored.
Typically in games I've been in, everyone has a different idea for what
the ship would do and it ends up with most people being dissatisfied.
Plus, I would like to see good sized fleet battles where we need to work
together based on our unique builds to survive. -Starting somewhere between rank 4 and rank 5. -Want
to see official xenos material being allowed, at the least. Haven't had
the chance to use my Tau book yet... There are also some cool fan made
supplements that add Eldar, Tyranid (A particular genestealer strain),
and Necron characters. If those were allowed I'd be ever so thankful. If
those last three would be allowed I wouldn't expect them to be
recruited without some sort of story around actually getting them. I
know it seems like a lot of requests and I hope it doesn't scare people
away. If anyone is willing to run this, or wants to join in, please
drop a line here, ask for clarification, or PM me with other questions
or comments. Thank you all for your time. -Aaron
