Online with Rogue Trader

By Ravager, in Rogue Trader

nice to hear from you, was wondering where the Arch-militant went.

Yeah we'll have more muscles it seems!

Asajev: your story sounds all right; I would have had Graf join-in the gorup on his own accord (since being forced to join sounds to me a good reason to start choppin', ork-mentality wise that is) but since the -I-'s influence stops at the Expanse, good enough

so does this mean i will have both an ork and a arch-militant on my ship. i pitty the fool who closes to boarding range. all i need is a fighta-bomma for the ork,lol.

as far as i know there will be 2 ships in the fleet, so will how will the group be divided party wise. though i guess the arch-militant can be on the second ship just to balance out combat performance.

After reviewing Into the Maw with our party comosition I feel that the way the adventure is writen is not good enough for our needs so I have taken the liberty and modified the adventure concept so that it works better. I have one request for all of you please let me know the top 10 items/things your characters wish to do in the game so I can get a feel for the tone of the game I should give it. The items could be like an asteroid bse, or a battlecruiser, or other things.

oh goody a top 10 list of acquisitons. i can name a few that should be rather simple to process.

  1. small personal wolfpack of captured and refitted pirate raiders
  2. improved component fittings for firestorm frigate
  3. crew improvements
  4. light cruiser for flag ship( Defiant class would be nice)
  5. remote isolated system to use as base and staging ground( grace might be nice)
  6. have small private army
  7. have non hostile contact with craftworld eldar
  8. expand to small trade empire
  9. acquire psykic powers( no i don't mean the chaos kind)
  10. gain good reputation with imperial navy

i hope this is in the limits, LOL.

indeed void, they are in the limits. Since you wish to become a Pirate Hunter will you be taking the Calixis Privateer alternate Rank at level 2?

I would like to have for aquisitions:

1.An autocannon with suspensor for a long range crowd control.

2. Maybe start to upgrade the main ship macrocannons with turbo upgrade.

3. Aquire some ground combat personal vehicles for the rogue trader part, or a fighter or two.

4.Good reputation for Imperial Navy.

5. Maybe allow to take the Righteous Path(the grand cruiser) to the Imperial Navy for good reputation or to repair and refit the ship as flagship.

6.To push the crew for some combat training so that they can increase they competency in this area.

EDIT:I like the idea of hunting pirates or chaos.

1-LOOTIN'

2-FIGHTIN'

3-IZ DERE SUM'TIN ELSE?

hehehe..seriously

1-my Kruizer would be good

2-a nice slugga

3-since I'm planning on going Kammando, some sort of sneak goggles (like a prysitine/photo-visor type)

4-A fighta bomba or a Trukk/bike - I need to get the skills, but they are both available within Rank 1-3.

5-Weapons, like a big shoota or a burna- worse case I can modify some Imperial-made weapons for Ork purposes

6-Armour, going for 'ard armour, then maybe in the long run, Mega 'armour.

Hmm..I'm not to sure..an Ork don't need THAT much bling to be happy, as long as he fights and loots regularly.

Hi guys I have set up the Ventrillo server, the info I think you need is as follows

Toronto.maxfrag.net
Port: 3826
no password as far as I know let me know if you have an issue.

Also I would like to let you guys know that I have redesigned the character Omari Godwin so it fits with you common interpretation of the rules. While I think the way the books are writen read in an abigious way I have decided to go with the common interpretation for character design. You can find the link to the character sheet in my signiture so feel free to review it and let me know if I need to make any changes.

What is the hostname or ip of the server?

I will connect with my name thor2006 like on this forum.

Host Name: toronoto.maxfrag.net
Port: 3826
Password: none (no password)

you going to be on vent Asajev?

Speaking of, I should check Ventrillo to see if all goes well; I do it later tonight, I got a real life D&D game tonight.

When I created the server from the ventrilio client application I have multiple fields :

Hostname or IP,Port(with predetermined port 3784),Password.

I put your Port and then I click OK. An error occurs saying Server toronoto.maxfrag.net has an empty HostName. What HostName should I insert?

ooops sorry about that Thor, the server is Toronto.maxfrag.net Port: 3826 might have typed the server name incorrect earlier. I will be on Vent most of the day Void and for anyone else that wishes to come in.

What is the hostname? Without a hostname I cannot continue at the connection editor for the ventrilo client.

Thor the host name or IP is Toronto.maxfrag.net, the port number is 3826 those this make sense to you?

i spotted you in vent a sec ago.

I connected using my forum name.See you tomorrow.

Would it be too late to join the campaign? If it isn't then I'd like to join either as an Explorator or a Void-Master...

not to late and we could use an explorator :) Please develop your character and submit it here for review by me. It could be copy pasted or you can link to your character sheet.

Okidoke, I'm assuming we're starting at rank 1 and we are free to use the additional origin options from Into the Storm? Never used them before but they seem interesting... Btw, are the extra xp point costs for those origin paths get deducted from the 500xp you get to spend initially or how do they work?

Yes you can use Into the Storm Origin Path choices. The XP for those choices are taken from the 500 XP you start with. Just a couple of details to catch you up with all.

Game Starts: 7:00 PM CST (-6 GMT)
Location: Ventrillo Server
Server Details: Host Name or IP, Toronto.maxfrag.net Port: 3826
Current Player Cast:
Void_Onion: Rogue Trader
Barddoc: Ork Freeboota
Thor2006: Arch-Militant
Asajev: Seneschal (NPC)

Ships:
Emperor's Mercy (Iconoclast class Destroyer) (NPC)
Panzerdragon (Firestorm class Frigate)

Ok, I'll create both a Void-Master and an Explorator for the group to decide which one they like best (as both slots seem to be free and I like more the Void-Master than the Explorator)... Both should be ready in 4-5 hours :D

ok hope to see you in the near future.

Well, the Void-Master is done: click here to see the files (hosted in deviantart )

The Explorator will be done in a bit and will be posted in the same place :D

btw: gotta say that I got extremely good rolls for the Void-Master, seems I was on a lucky stride... Not so much with the Explorator, a bit above average, but nothing massively powerful.
