Sorry, that was meant without question mark.

I will have the sheet ready by Friday. I have a question though. Are we going to be noblebright agents and heroes, or we going to be ruthless grimdark agents of the Imperium?
Noblebright agents and heroes. Expect to find yourselves between the population of Violet Equinox and Xenos threats, Chaos threats, and mismanagement/false dealing from the nobility and planetary government.
So we will follow the more modern approach of GW as Sororitas being actual heroines of the Imperium.

Cool, I can dig that.

@Ysolde I was meaning to ask what my character's forge world will be? I know it might not play any significant role in the game, but just wanted to know which forge world will be close to the game setting. I was thinking about Agripinaa but you can suggest something. Or is it going to be Sororitas order because he is working under them now?
@Stalker05 you can choose one of the following options:
1) Agripinaa - You were born there and were well known for servicing battle armor. When the request for a Tech Priest came from Violet Equinox came to help repair the Sisterhood's battle armor and pacify the machine spirits you were chosen.

2) Indigo Equinox - The ice prison mines ores and a small cohort of Adeptus Mechanicus turns the iron into large farming devices used on Violet Equinox. You were among these tech priests and when the tech priest in charge of servicing the Adeptas Sororitas perished due to his organics failing you were closest and most experienced.

3) Violet Equinox - Your family have been tech priests serving the Sisterhood of the Black Rose for ages. You are the most recent in the family line to become the tech priest in charge who aids the sisterhood and services the machine spirits for them.

Commissar Senrin - Commands the regiment in Agri-City keeping order in the city itself
Commissar Xeras - Commands one regiment that keeps order in the fields
Commissar Dairis - Comnands one regiment that keeps order in the fields

So I've got a few questions re/ this. Why are Commissars in charge of regiments? They're political officers and only very rarely in charge of a regiment if ever. Surely it should be at least a colonel? Also, why does a small system have 3 regiments? That seems an excessively large levy for a low strategic value planet like this one. (Especially one with an Adepta Sororitas presence)

Let's go with Agripinaa. This will match with the setting, since I don't know much about Equinox and Krondo Sigma would also be new to the system and learn things from a different perspective.

My bad it should be One Regiment at partial force (1 Battalion at 1/3 strength made up of 3 companies of 60-100) so a Captain and two 2nd lieutenants.

I'm not as up on Astra Militarum as I am Adeptas Sororitas.

One last question

What would be the best archetype for a Retributor? I can't quite find the Canoness anymore.

Seraphim or Imagifer would work anything more would be tier 4.
Feb 22, 2024 2:38 pm
Alright got the guns added to my CS, just need to add my talents and some other things and should be good to go!
Feb 22, 2024 11:58 pm
I submitted my character, I stuck with the Seraphim.

I am wondering if I can buy some weapons before we start the game. Will I roll here to see if I can acquire them? If I fail the test I would like to use XP to buy out the wealth and use it to get the weapon. Also, do we need to select objectives from the list or the GM will provide it?

I just love how the Rogue Trader has a Frigate as equipment...
Feb 23, 2024 1:20 pm
Yeah, I really would like to play a Rogue Trader in a future game where its feasible. I played the old Rogue Trader game by FFG quite a bit and just loved the freedom and stupendous power it gave you. I already theorycrafted a character with the Bombardment talent, servants, and whatnot.

That said, playing a Rogue Trader campaign should be very possible with this ruleset!

Ps. I'm still stupified that a Rogue Trader is only Tier 2.

1) Roll here and then use xp if you fail.
2) You can pick you objectives after each rest or when the DM says you may

I considered Rogue Trader as the scenario but maybe another game if this one goes well.
This is my first outing here as a DM.
I have ideas…

Rogue trader settings would be very nice!

Game Thread incoming!

@Appahli - I know you are planning to append the export code. Please create a sheet that you can paste it in and request to add the character.

@Khulod - Instead of the link please append the export code

@DanWooper - I need a character if you are still interested
Feb 23, 2024 11:57 pm
What do you mean by this export code thing?

In Doctors of Doom there’s an option to export your character. Copy that code and paste it into your sheet that way I can see your character.

Rolling for Data slate, Galvanic carbine.

So, I got the data slate but I rolled a complication on Galvanic carbine. Galvanic carbine has a DN of 7 with the rarity; 3 success there. But, the complication causes me to lose a wealth. So +2 wealth makes it, 5. I will spent 5 xp, to buy the Galvanic carbine and bring the wealth back to 3.

Rolls

Data Slate - (3d6+1d6)

(631) + (4) = 14

Galvanic carbine - (3d6+1d6)

(462) + (1) = 13

Lore/settings question - when Maria Grace requested us to
Quote:
investigate more from here
does that mean we can/should interact with any devices that would provide us some video recordings or any other information about what happened? Would we be authorized and even expected to question The Governor or at least some liaison? Perhaps investigate order mean doing anything else I am not aware of as a player?

P.S. I was under impression in a high-tech environment "scouts not responded back" is not something that can happen. Are there issues with keeping constant communication between scouting party and command center? Are there any other reasons they don't want to do that in WH universe?
