Question for the group: My wife and I were batting around ideas for the next Rogue Trader session I'm running for my local crew, and we came across an idea that made us both laugh hysterically - RogueCon Koronus XLVII, hosted at Port Wander by the local Administratum authorities. Having come up with the name, we now need to come up with what kind of events, sessions, seminars, speakers, etc would take place at such an event. We got some ideas, but also wanted to pitch to the crowd to see what y'all could come up with. Thank you  .

No soul? No problem! - on acquiring daemonhosts or blank counter-psychic operatives from churches, dungeons or black ships AND gainfully employing them under the Administratum radar! Secession is Treason - "Temporary governorship without oversight" garnished with corrupt priests and shell-shocked Guard veterans will get you around calling it the S-word. ( Ix-nay on the ecession-say. Seriously. ) Renegade artifacts 101 - How to find heretic hideouts and liberate chaotic doomsday weapons for fun and profit  and of course..

A short list of things we will kill you for importing - Presented by a team of Arbites, reading the short list non-stop in relay. It will take them most of the conference.

However it is heavily attended as rogue traders use it to make little side wagers such as which Arbites lasts the longest before passing the list, if any Arbites faints, how many new crimes were added since last year, and other interesting wagers. You'd be surprised on the over/under for "Arbites falls asleep."

Going to twist a classic fantasy plot on my players in Dark Heresy 2E: Arriving on a feudal agri-world, they investigate people acting odd, for various reasons, before eventually realizing they are dealing with a shapeshifting species of xenos or demons. I got a lot of good advice from the GM thread, like distracting the players a lot with seemingly pointless things( baker sues a magistrate for ignoring a verbal agreement they had, and people assume the baker is a fraud because the magistratum always honours his word), and dogs dying from disease all over( they can detect the shapeshifters scent, and consequently the shifters poisoned them), things that become obvious foreshadowing in hindsight. I'm stumped on how to stat them out, though. In their own form they're grey, ropy, spindly things that probably won't be really dangerous( I'm thinking they cause Fear 1, but have low S and T), but some of them may have retained how to take on the shape of really unpleasant hyper-bears living in the feudal wilds or whatever. Also, they may have rudimentary and defensive psyker powers. Any ideas on how to go about it? I haven't GM'd or played DH 2 before, so I'm a bit lost on how to create opponents, apart from reskinning already existing ones. Threat level is approx. 15-25 (3 PCs, well equipped with a psyker, and they're above 1000xp now).

stat them out as regular humans with a few talents, skills, traits based on what you want them to do. like you're not going to be sharing these stats with your players, are you? if your players fight them, will the creatures be equipped, or will they attack bare-assed and bare-handed? as opposed to bear handed. fear 1 is possibly overkill for what is essentially a pussy tau, unless you mean the sight of shapeshifting is a fear 1 experience

The Thing type shapeshifting or something more limited?

Well, they're not going to pose much of a threat apart from having Fear 1, so it scales out, don't you think? I'm saving one turning into an uber-bear for the final conflict( and maybe foreshadowing, one dude may say that the bears of old are back, which doesn't make sense since they went extinct). goatface posted:The Thing type shapeshifting or something more limited? I don't know. Ideally they can switch rather quickly so as to not acquire suspicion, but perhaps they have to stay in one skin for a period of time. Maybe there's a leader caste which can shift at will, I haven't thought about it yet.

Since they are ropey give them high Agility, step aside, and maybe Unnatural Agility, making them hard to hit.

If they're infiltrating the planet, couldn't they use Imperial forces against them like Genestealers do? Commanders in the Enforcers, Arbites, PDF etc could be replaced and send the normal humans unknowingly working for them against the acolytes, or work to frame the acolytes, things like that.

That's a great idea. So if they are one of the groups that goes around waving their badges of office around all the time, they'll have no idea they're unwittingly tipping off the shape shifters. While if they stay low key, it will actually help them.

Usually it doesn't even take shape shifting aliens subverting the Imperium to get the law coming down on acolytes who aren't being careful. An average acolyte investigation involves mass murder, forgery, blackmail, robbery, impersonating an officer of the law, impersonating a priest, and probably a good deal of outright heresy.

So far we've learned "don't flash your inquisitorial seal to a bunch of passing adepts while standing next to a gurney containing the corpse you nicked from the arbites coroner", but it's progressing!

Perhaps they can deploy a fear-causing mechanism when they get angry or scared, and so run away to cause more trouble?

You can just give them some special rule that when they reveal themselves X-Com 2 style that everyone who witnesses it has to take a willpower test or be effected, like they have to move away for a turn or something. Hell, you could have the players have to make a pinning test, representing them going  and running. Pinning still sucks, but it is less intrusive than Fear, and they'll get a +30 to shake the Pinning second turn so long as the creeps aren't suppressing them.
