Postcoital Rogue Trader
We had our first Rogue Trader session last night and it was a ton of fun. We spend some time building characters (love the Origin Path) and building a ship (also a lot of fun).
After the creation effort was complete (which ended up being a lot more cooperative and fun — thanks to the Origin Path innovation), we ran through two test combats. A group of warp-possessed servitors on the bridge of their ship and a space combat against a trio of pirate raiders.
Our first impressions are that some of the flaws of Dark Heresy remain (full auto-fire is still broken), but overall the game has taken a huge leap in the right direction. Space combat is fun and thought-provoking and the setting is top-notch.
I’m writing a full review for BOLS, but so far the experience has been very positive.
Rogue Trader is on the shelves, so you should definitely flip through it.
