This was the start of a RT campaign I'm running. All the players come from a RT family that has existed in the Calixis sector for almost 400 years. The family patriarch, the great grand father of the pcs, decides what jobs each of his family members do. If he says you are to be an armsman you will be, or you will be kicked out of the family. While the PCs have been shoved into professions, they haven't been given jobs yet. The beginning of the campaign has them ushered into the patriarch's presence. He has decided to give the party's RT the chance to be the 12th RT lord-captain in the family (there are currently over 300 family members). The Patriarch has acquired a warrant of trade for the Koronos expanse, allowing the family to expand there. The PCs are being given a ship and must prove their worth to the house. Their first test of their worth is getting to the expanse. The ship they have been given is a surplus military crusier that needs a lot of work to be ready to use. The patriarch provides the PCs with PF 20 in resources.

Navigating the maze of task needed to get the ship flying made for a very interesting first few games. Once the party did start toward the expanse, they found out that the warrant of trade required them to assist any Inquisition agents that request it in the expanses.

I don't know if you meant to, but if you did shame on you, but never...ever post something three times...i hope it was just some horrible computer error but...come on.

On these forums I find it best to assume an error unless proven otherwise.

it was an error

Sounds absalutely awsome, i do how ever have one tiny problem. now granted im going on 40k background here and they may have modified it some what for rogue trader but a warrant of trade is a family wide thing, it is passed down from father to son and they are incredebly rare, familys dont have multiple warrants because one authorises the entire dinesty. though the actions of the dinasty are controled by the person who has the actual warrent and warrants are not location specific they allow the activities of rogue trading to be carried out by its bearer and any authorised retainers of the bearer and it covers the imperium and beyond.

like i say thats just the old fluff, but other than that one minor (probably me being a stikler for tradition lol) that sounds like an ace intro to a campaighn.

Couldn't they just photocopy the Warrant?
