Find this avatar. Closest thing you'll get.


Hate to say this after that last post from PWO, but i'm leaving the game. Purely a time issue, I am severely struggling as many of you are aware (especially those in the games I DM, which I have to prioritise).

Posting here as the Adamant Will so someone can copy all the info across, its been tracking the dynasty thus far.


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...


No worries. Just for ease of use, I keep all the dynasty stats updated on the ship's profile, near the bottom.


Ship suggestions tomorrow, lets get them rolling in...


You may want to bookmark her profile.

I'd really like to do acquisitions before we get too far IC. Or you end up with all kinds of awkwardness down the line.

I'm back to regularish posting tomorrow.


Nice. If that is correct we've almost doubled our PF, but it seems excessively high- guess its just a generous scenario.

Does our ship grant us any extra achievement points to that total or are they already included? We add 75 points to any military objective, FWIW.

Edit: The Adamant Will is now updated, our PF is 40. I'll quickly update Alessaunder and then i'll have to be off packing.


Happy to help :). Played a lot of RT at university.


Thats your acquisition then? Roger, will add it to the ship.

Edit: Done.


Whats our starting morale and crew pop?


Vorgen- consider a weapon upgrade such as a red-dot sight- or put your bolt pistol on a Forearm Weapon Mount :P.

Non-combat suggestions-

Void Suit
Acquiring Shipboard Emergency Kits for our ship.

Or, look into Cybernetics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -

LAST CALL- DOES ANYONE ELSE GIVE + OR - TO PF, AKA PROFIT FACTOR?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -

Vorgen has been added to the ship's roster. Posting my finished background today and then i'm ready to roll. My starting acquisition is a Calculance Array- allowing your Space Accountant an even greater grasp of commerce.


Waiting for PWO's ship role to add him to the Adamant Will, then i'll finally write out my background.


Fixed, not sure how I missed those thanks.


Ships roster has been updated once more.

Regardless of which speciality PWO goes, he could consider taking the Chief Bosun ship role. It gives +5 to crew rating as well as command tests suffering no penalty for low morale.


Past History-
1d10 ⇒ 7

Wrested from a Space Hulk: The ship has been recovered from a space hulk, a mass of wrecked ships that drifts intermittently through the warp and realspace. The ship is very old (and thus of high quality), but those who know of its origins whisper that it is cursed. The ship gains +1 Armour, +1 Speed and +3 Maneuvrability. However, every time the crew suffers a misfortune, the GM rolls twice and picks the worse of the two.

Machine Spirit Oddity-
1d10 ⇒ 9

Adventurous: The vessel is eager to seek new horizons, to turn its bow from civilisation and delve into the darkness of the unknown. When participating in an endeavour, the ship gains +10 detection, when not participating in an endeavour it suffers -10 detection instead.

I have updated the ship to reflect this.


Ok, with the extra 2 SP i've put a Munitorium on my proposed version of the ship (and paid for the cogitator's SP, forgot that before). Two guns is plenty enough for now I believe and it lets us organically decide whether to invest in more macrocannons, lances, torpedoes, nova cannons or launch bays at a later date while having a seriously powerful broadside that outranges almost anything (Range 11, the only weapon with more range is the Nova Cannon or Godsbane Lances).

As for the plasma drive... There isn't one with more output, I took the one only Grand Cruisers can take. All we could do to add power is get a better quality generator (upgrade craftsmanship) or take Auxiliary Plasma Banks down the line.


Alexander Kilcoyne here. In keeping with House Tyr's history and Radavel's desire for a Grand Cruiser i've created this ship (though it stil needs an oddity and complication) to put to the group. Please everyone, look it over and let me know if its suitable and we can choose between it and Radavel's once he finishes his proposal (as well as anyone else who wants to take a stab at it). My thoughts-

Grand Cruisers are all SP 69+. To permit us to be able to begin with something more than just a weaponless hull, I made the crew Incompetent (skill rating 20), which gives us an additional 5SP to spend. Crew Skill is not so important with such a large group of players (our rolls to direct them will come up far more often than rolls they make themselves) but I offset this penalty with the archeotech Cogitator Interlink (Granted by the ship origin path the RT genned), giving us +5 crew skill back for a total of +25. This also means our potential crew skill (once we train them up) is 5 higher than it would have been before.

The SP gained from doing this has been spent on giving us a kick-ass Imperial Navy style bridge as well as two powerful broadsides, one on port and one on starboard. This means we are fully equipped for a naval battle but we also have plenty of room and space to add torpedoes, squadrons, lances or more broadsides as we grow.

If we do use this vessel, I will track the group's PF and Acquisitions as well as the ship using this profile. After all, Seneschal is just a fancy word for Space Accountant, right? ;).


Remember we have a librarium vault in our ship/city of awesome-

+10 on all skill tests that are part of the Investigation group.


Enginseer when you take Binary Chatter in rank 2 give me a nudge so I can increase the ship's morale permanently, was thumbing through the rulebook and spotted it today.


Time spent at shore makes for a happy and wholesome crew!

Values updated.


Hi team :)

As you may well know, Captain Tristan comes from a middle rank in the Battlefleet. As such, he is going to issue official titles to each of the seven of you which he expects you to be addressed by. Tristan is not particularily democratic on this decision, so if you aren't happy with the title given please speak up asap. The officer roster is viewable on this profile (The Steadfast). I'll post it here for reference-

Senior Officer Titles & Roster-

Rogue Trader- Lord Captain Tristan Casmirre
Void-Master- First Officer Eli Kage
Explorator- Enginseer Prime Macharius Sarvus
Seneschal- High Factotum Havelock Iacton
Missionary- Confesser Jeramiah Lux
Arch Militant- Master-At-Arms Lucius Azrael
Navigator- Navigator Primaris ??? ???
Astropath Transcendent- Choir-Master Jarvis Atercarina

I have suggestions for most of the career paths if you don't like what I have chosen. I think Confessor could sound pretty bad ass for the missionary, for example.

Edit 1: Cardinal to Confessor


Heres the ship profile. The name can still be changed until the profile makes ten posts so plenty of time. I suggest bookmarking the profile as I have rather a lot of aliases.
