GM Hector's Rogue Trader: The Warpstorm Trilogy (Inactive)
Game Master LordHector

Master-At-Arms, how's the House Guard shaping up?

Perhaps we can conduct the interview of our chaplain?

Final Swag: (Cameleoline cloak, Almanac Astrae Divinitus, 5 x Filament Grenades, Good Quality Xeno-Mesh Cowl, Combi-Tool, Good Craftsmanship Auger Array, Cranial Armor, Bionic Heart)

With training, the fire teams are shaping up well Lord Captain Militant. We have aquired superior arms to distribute, but sadly, they are still lacking better armor than before.

If anyone made acquisitions for the ship or dynasty i.e. better weapons for X amount of troops, please tell me now so I can update the dynasty (Adamant Will profile bottom section).

Yes, I aquired 30 Merovech Pattern Assult Lasguns.

back in town, ready to go.

"Father, I am entrusting the spiritual health of my humble crew into your capable hands."

"There is no doubt in my mind that you can do it."

"Now tell us of your journeys."

Vorgen-

Quite a lot of errors on the successes there so I went through it.

The mesh cowl passed, as the base TN was 30, not 20. Modified by commerce, TN46. Add the mesh cowl.

You also just barely managed the Inferno shells so add those too.

Hmmm sorry about that, I thought I had this down.

Ok looking again.....

Oh #$^!

Sorry.

Can't find a post whether Regulorum's acquisitions are ready....

Thats a very good point. We haven't had an post from him since DM told us to level up, quite a few pages back...

As I read Salvation's Reach, I think we need to institute protocols regarding the security of critical portions of the ship.

I do hope our Magos is reading this.

Magos, are you out there?

Send a PM to our missing Magos. I hope he sees it.

I'll try to contact him. It has been a while. btw, while I'm thinking about it, would you guys like to begin at footfall, or have you Navis do his thing to get there?

Well I think to hand-waive it is a bit detracting from the game as well as his main ship role. Its only a few rolls unless something goes horribly wrong anyway.

I think it would be best that we start with the crew coasting to Footfall. I realized that we can't have the meeting while we're in warp, else we would all be lost in the empyrean.

Plus considering Yosarni's inspiration, I think it's only fair that I get to narrate how he actually guides a ship through the warp ;)

I am all for giving the wee warp beasties a chance at our tasty tasty souls.

Well, no word from our Magos, so I'll get this thing going.

Would you guys like to recruit for a new explorator, or continue on without Pin and have me insert a new techie for shipboard conversation?

A techie would be great.

both.

use NPC for now and bring in replacement when you find someone.

I'll be going to Greece this Friday and be gone for a week, not sure if I'll be able to post at all during that time.
So don't wait on me chums.

K, thnx

Well, fellows, I've been wondering why there hasn't been any activity on the Gameplay thread lately, only find out there has been, and I haven't been getting it. Sorry, but we are now ready to make our journey. Everyone, let's go!

The new posts function is treacherous, something i've pointed out to the staff multiple times. See my topic Here for a pretty concise breakdown of the current PbP technical issues. The topic could do with a bump if anyone would like to add their thoughts.

Also just noticed that our current NPC explorator had the same name as our former missionary. Hence the name change.

GM is it alright if I start a captain's log in the IC thread?

Go for it!

Go ahead and have your friend roll up a techie, btw, AK.

Go for it!

Will do just that.

I need our current star date though ;-)

Hi, I'm alex's friend. I'll roll up a techie tomorrow and post it here. Looking forward to joining :).

Also, do anyone know of any utilities for creating rogue trader characters? I'm not hugely experienced with the character creation aspect.

I know of one for Dark Heresy, but not RT. The books we're using are the CRB and Into the Storm. Just let me or any of us here know when you get to something that confuses you.

Stats:

WS: 2d10 + 25 ⇒ (8, 10) + 25 = 43
BS:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (7, 5) + 25 = 37
S:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (1, 4) + 25 = 30
T:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (5, 4) + 25 = 34
Ag:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (1, 3) + 25 = 29
Int:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (5, 3) + 25 = 33
Per:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (5, 3) + 25 = 33
Will:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (3, 5) + 25 = 33
Fellow:2d10 + 25 ⇒ (1, 9) + 25 = 35

I'm playing an explorator right? How much xp do I have to spend?

FYI, I'll be backpacking next week, so if I am a little unresponsive, assume I am going with the majority.

You get one re-roll on a single statistic although those are pretty shocking rolls (except a great WS).

What AK said, and also you get 500 to begin your character.

Yeah my rolling luck is pretty poor as you know ak, not sure what to reroll. Probably Int due to explorators being very int heavy.

Yeah, since your going for a tech expert, I'd probably say Int.

Int re-roll
2d10 + 25 ⇒ (4, 9) + 25 = 38

Above average at least.

Modified stats:

WS: 43
BS: 37
S: 30
T: 34
Ag: 29
Int: 38
Per: 33
Will: 33
Fellow: 35

Origin path time. You may want to look at the Lord-Captain and my backstories in particular as they tell quite a lot of the dynasty.

impressive WS, i think our techpriest is one of those militant types; i like it ;-)

@ the magos, i hope you will bring some servo skulls to chronicles our adventures for posterity.

GM, I imagine that Footfall would be like a sci-fi version of Deadwood.

For Alessaunder

I'm now finally moving up to Southampton for university. Things will be hectic for me but will settle down on the 1st of October, at which time expect much more posting from me.

I'll try and weigh in where possible but please don't let the game be waiting for me on anything except combat. Assume my character is passive and goes with the flow. Should be able to keep up with combats but perhaps not more than that and if i'm too slow, bot me.

Back from vacation. Feel free to continue with the warp voyage.
