Guys, let's continue the game discussion here.
Any last minute changes you want me to approve?
I think I'm good on my end.
Rogue Trader, you have 6 unused Ship Points. Are you converting them to Profit Factor?
My first RT go... are we missing anything obvious?
Music is cool, a little heady, relaxed and dare I say resigned (yet passionate).
I'm more of a RUSH, Disturbed, Godsmack...
I've always wanted to find an ancient MP3 player, and gain something like "Forbidden Lore (Ancient Music)", so my character can quote lyrics!
My first thought about a ship name... "Eminence Front".
This right here is the most appropriate song for anything pirate-y, even in SPAAAACE.
First Post of the Game Posted.
Yes, extra points are going into profit factor.
think I'm ready.
Regards last minute approvals... any chance of some scope, any sort (either for stub-auto or long-las or both)?
what's the availability on those?
Can i take a best-craftsmenship shotgun plus some shells for my initial acquisition?
yes you can Cutter.
In order of availability (either one:
Telescopic Sight +1 kg Average, +10
Red-Dot Laser Sight +0.5 kg Scarce, +0
Also, in the spirit of full disclosure... how would telescopic interact/counteract this from Battlefleet? Telescopic eliminates range penalties... maybe keeps them normal?
"Ship Bound Fighter : -2 Initiative and double Range Penalties when Planetside and not in a tunnel or other confined space."
Silencer +0.5 kg Plentiful, +30 (should be a non-issue for Stub Auto?)
Hmmm, I'll have to think about my aquisition.
How do we handle general stuff like ammo, grenades, other minor gear etc.?
If by the book - once acquired, it is assumed you have a reasonable amount.
3x reloads, 3x grenades (for an outing)... replenish once you get back on board. Assumption is you not only acquired but ensures a normal supply.
Yeah, common ammo is not a problem.
The Proficio Humanitas has a full munitorium on board after all.
Jene, consider the scopes granted.
Do we have a danger room, holo deck or training facilities? Pietro is the commander in chief, who if anyone is responsible for the troops on board?
Jene would want to help train characters or troops (would that give them a bonus?), as well as personal training. She's got a low 26 fellowship, but Peer (military), Officer on Deck and ship grants Eyes Everywhere +10.
Jene is a combat character, but has scum/assassin tendencies (Dark Heresy), is there anything she could do to earn Concealment or Shadowing earlier? Training, practice, etc...
Want to be careful as player/character not to step on Void Master's toes.
The ship has a functioning munitorium, as well as barracks for a significant amount of ground troops.
I am assuming it has training facilities appropriate for at least small-scale (squad-level?) engagements, and enough ammo to handle pretty much any live-fire exercises you can come up with.
If you REALLY want to live dangerously, the Murder-Servitors are also potentially available to go against, but I would not recommend that for my command staff (aka, PCs don't really wanna get splattered by kill-bots before we even really get to the adventure parts...)
How big is this puppy... Landing bays for shuttle/fighters? Med-bay?
Mud-servs later, need a couple of talents... But you'll miss them.
No specific Flighter/Cargo Hold, I assume the barracks took up some of the necessary space for that.
See Sword Class Frigate Image Here!
Sword Class Frigate Details Here!
And a comparison...see that our ship, a mere frigate, is the same size as an Imperial Star Destroyer
Cool, thanks.
If Galactica can have landing and launch bays, we just need to be outfitted. Void- Master should be "jones-ing". Jene is.
Did we lose Juxxie, our Void Master? Don't mean to pry... and it's only been a couple of days. Just wondering if they're not seeing the activity.
That's happened to me before.
I like rolling 2d10, as it more closely stimulated rolling 2d10. LOL.
So, 27 vs. 45... We'd say "2 degrees of success"? Or "1 extra degree of success" ? GM preference for consistency?
Sweet rolls, folks!
Also, maybe I'm misunderstanding.... But the +10 Ordinary, is supposed to make the check easier.
Add that to your score/skill/target, not your roll. Please correct me if otherwise.
I beleive you are correct. My mistake; that's what I get for posting while half awake.
I just like you having 3-4 levels of success. Others were doing it too... Personally I have trouble with a good way to format the roll.
This is my first RT game, just being hyper attentive.
Ok. We are now officially missing a voidmaster.
You guys feel we need additional warm bodies?
Hmmm... How comfortable are you with tweaking/custom career paths? :)
depends. what do you have in mind?
Just something to crossover from Void Master, if we don't have one. Haven't looked, yet... Being from Battlefleet, there could be logical synergies.
Off the top of my head, access to certain piloting, certain lore or advanced versions of them. Might even be just earlier access, to stuff arch-militants get later.
in the absence of a voidmaster PC, it is a given that there is an NPC who takes care of the job.
but if you wish to get skills outside the normal archmilitant career then they are considered elite advances.
Your GM just arrived home and he is in serious need of a few Zs.
Will update the IC thread in the morning.
FYI: I seem to have come down with bronchitis, so posting may be a bit sporadic for a while. Sorry.
What? You don't need your lungs to post !!!! LOL Rest up, Hamster !
Get well soon, lord captain.
We going 2d10 or 1d100? Don't want to be the odd-ball.
personal preference i'd say
Roll Call People :-)
Here, but at an absolute loss as to what I need to be doing.
Make a wish...
Here just waiting to get down there :)
I say execute the lot.
But I can be swayed if anyone thinks they're worth saving
Why does the captain sound like a emperor-boot licking sicko-phant? Who's gonna put the rogue in rogue trader? And is this how the whole campaign is going to be... Murder, slaughter, emperor, tico, taco, ya-ya-ya?
Honestly, not interested in playing the emperor's b--ch, that's what other career paths are for.
Mostly because he's pretty much a brand new Rogue Trader who served as a naval officer for years and years.
Indoctrination is often hard to overcome.
Besides, our "adventure" thus far has comprised being caught in 2 warp storms, having our ship compromised by who knows what, and the engines being turned off.
What's an adventure without a little drama, right?
