Time To Go Rogue
And our review copy of Rogue Trader, Fantasy Flight’s new Warhammer 40K RPG, arrived this very morning. I’m already 40 pages in, and when you get excited reading a section on character creation, you know that you’re in for something very special.
The cover - Delicious.
Colour illustrations on the inside. A beautiful book.
You have your own starship. What more do you need to know?
Starship combat. Battles in space. Boarding parties. Yum.
A big thick book. A big beeyooty.
I’ll be reading the book this week and updating you fine people with more thoughts via my Twitter feed.
And then, after I get it on the table, I’ll review it for your pleasure.
Zaa Ooo Zaa!
Nice. I seriously need to pick that up. There is but one thing stopping me – I lack at this time, people to play it with. My gaming buddies would probably not get into roleplaying enough to really get the full experience (not just in terms of in-character behaviour, I mean the P&P RPG experience itself).
That said, I have some friends who really, really love 40k, and the fluff. I could probably press gang those into it. I understand that the book is worth having purely for the fluff/artwork. Would you agree?
This looks like a nice way to round off my current Games Workshop spending spree (bloody Space Hulk’s gone and started a damned fire in my bank account). And, while I’m here, FFG haven’t given you a mass market relese date for this beastie, have they?
Also, glad to see you’re back, Fat Rab. Red, green. Red. Red, green.
I got my copy of the Collector’s Edition today, and I wish I could magically know all the new rules because I haven’t wanted to run a game this badly since… well, since Dark Heresy came out.
Oooo. 1 question, are original Ymgarl genestealers in it? If so -> NERDGASM
What’s an Ymgarl? Ship combat looks a bit like long-deleted GW game Battlefleet Gothic. INTERESTED.
Ymgarl genestealers were in the original Rogue Trader skirmish game, Ymgarl being the moon they were first found on. 4 armed dudes with tentacles for heads were the order of the day. They went were developed to be the genestealers we all know and love.
Also, extremely excited about this, but I’m finding nowhere with stock :/
