Character Creation:

For any new players please post your character ideas and we will get back to you.

Are there any particular books you want to be using, I wouldn’t mind playing one of the weirder characters that you can find only in rogue trader but if you’d rather stick to the core book I can come up with something from there.

I am fine with anything provided it is from FFG's offical content and fits within the grim dark universe. Backstory and interesting character is more important than rules.

And as a FYI, the two current characters are aaronschmidt's 'Kuros' (hotshot pilot voidmaster) and my 'Val' (explorator with an initial Reaver rank from the 'Hostile Acquisitions' book).

Does the party need anything?

Currently with just a voidmaster and an explorator, anything would be fine - even an actual rogue trader! (We're currently working for a NPC rogue trader.) So pretty much anything you think you'd have fun playing would be ok.

Someone that can talk good [sic] would be amazing!

Oh and Kuros is not really a hotshot pilot. He is a pilot that can barely fly. He crashed one ship last chapter and it looks like he will crash another one soon! Not that I mind. Maybe he will take ranks in crashing?

I’d be up for playing a rogue trader! Especially now that I’ve realised that this ship might be a bit too imperial to play as a tau or an orc...

That would certainly help with our party's current lack of charm and charisma! And also in case you want to know, combat-wise, Val the explorator is melee and tanky-ish. Kuros is a ranged pistol shooter.

I would allow a tau or ork if you can provided a good reason why they are in the hive that is currently under attack.

Also you get an additional 600 Exp on top of basic character generation.

My apologies, I've only picks out some things and I'm still reading through for spending the starting XP plus the above mentioned 600. It's been a minute since I've played (2014 or 2015 I think).

I felt like CharGen was a pain with this system.

I was in a dark heresy game once I did a read through it was easier.

Did you read BigBoom's tutorial on how to use the rogue trader excel file?

And it looks like you have your character done. I am sure we are going to need Nas soon!

Right character done and uploaded!

Wait I knew I was forgetting something...

Hmm this bodes poorly...

Though I was meaning to ask, how were you planning on bringing us in to the story? Also as a rogue trader in her own right Rondezvue could have her own ship (given that the current one might be a bit nackered). I took the lost their ship at some stage background trait specifically so we could say she was marooned if you just want her to join the current vessel though.

Welcome!! Can Rondezvous show up right now with her big ship and kill this evil freakin' eldar?

Seriously though, Rondezvue could show up as a merc to help the human city... Val and Kuros already negotiated to help out. Though it is looking like we might not make it... ;)
