Thinking up a rogue's gallery (Ha ha) for a potential Rogue Trader game. I always have an easier time with big open ended games like RT by making characters and antagonists and just having them slot into a story where appropriate. How much sense does it make to have a rogue trader who is outwardly every bit the noble Imperium-serving nobleman that traders "should" be but is secretly 100% converted to the Greater Good and is essentially running espionage for the Tau, some of which are on his ship?

I both A. love using the current 40k canon as an excuse to set up proper mixed adventuring parties and B. hope there's enough material for an entire party of orks for a really dumb one shot that will end with everyone dead.

I would infinitely rather have an RPG system that lets me play a variety of characters with one book than four loving different gamelines all containing minor variations on the same system that makes trying to do any crossover work just enough of a hassle not to bother with

I believe what they've said is that since the default setting for the game is the Dark Imperium things are way more loose with who gets paired up with who on missions out of complete necessity.

I think the Dark Imperium isn't used for WnG because Games Workshop "gave" them the setting (they just made up a sector to use as a default setting much like FFG did) but more so because it's as good an excuse as any for space marine/eldar buddy cop adventures and other mixed party shenanigans.

one of the campaign framework suggestions in the WnG core book is a group of orks stranded on a bizarre alien planet, hunting through ancient ruins for junk to build a ship with while also fighting off monstrous fauna and rival ork mobs I am way into this but I feel like that's going to need more ork archetypes available before its really a thing

yeah like I'd say the big difference between FFG 40k and WnG is the latter is something I could see myself actually playing and enjoying I like the ideas of the FFG games but there's way too many fiddly bits Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Aug 19, 2018 |

Dre2Dee2 posted:The only thing I'm really looking forward to from W&G is Eldar stuff. I was kinda bummed that FFG never put anything out for that really, so if we get some really cool sourcebooks and adventures, I'm down. I think they said the second adventure book was going to be Eldar focused but there's also an Eldar mission in Dark Tides

you can just like not let anyone play an ork or an eldar or whatever in your game I also think it's absurd to think of FFG's 40k RPGs as being about "focus" instead of being about making you buy more books

Speaking of which I'm not sure what Tech interaction attacks are supposed to be.

Seeing this thread pop up again reminded me we still haven't gotten that Aeldari splatbook for W&G

Lord_Hambrose posted:They know it is dead now they can finally make their own game, so I would be surprised if we see anything else for W&G. I would hate to lose the 40k game that actually lets you play a wide variety of things for "Dark Hersey Again" Like the games are different enough both mechanically and in scope that I would think there's room for both
