Torchbearer Halfling! I really want to see if its stealth mechanics parse out into anything usable/meaningful.

Alien Rope Burn posted:Considering what a big deal they've been, it's almost a little odd I don't have any experience with the 40K RPGs. Granted, I'd be a lot more interested if there was something like a Necromunda variant or an Ork variant. I guess I'd rather play Cockney than posh; I always found the Imperium rather dull, so the laser-like focus of the RPG on their grim greyfaces has done a lot to dilute my interest. Creative enough GMs and players have worked around this, somewhat. Some TG GMs have gotten creative enough with Only War, for instance, to run the characters as gangers instead of typical Guardsmen. Others have basically hacked together the rules of Rogue Trader and Deathwatch to create Deffwotch, the game where you play as Orks posing as a Deathwatch Kill-team, but since you're going along with what the Imperium needs done Imperial Inquisitors will overlook your Orkiness and just sort of roll with the punches. That being said, I wish they officially supported playing as Orks better instead of relying on the creativity of GMs because it is exceedingly reliant on these GMs to attract interest and teach it to people whereas if it was an officially supported product, it would be a lot easier to find games/get guidance.

NGDBSS posted:The funny thing about DH1E was that it actually was still written in-house by GW's Black Industries. Since then they've gone under and FFG has made the other game lines (plus DH splatbooks). There's a quote from the Warhams40k thread, and it goes something like this: quote:Black Crusade is the Thousand Sons sorcerer riding his magic bird and raining hell on a group of Khornates, and periling so hard a bloodletter drop kicks him off of his mount because it manifests right in front of him, and then proceeds to eat his bird in flight. Also, Chaos gets guns that literally shoot Rock 'n Roll at people.

Halloween Jack posted:You can play aliens in RT, but I don't really feel the need to, because Rogue Traders are the most freebooting YOLO and least grimdark seriousface people in the Imperium. For reference, here are links to the best character ever in a Rogue Trader forums game! http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3669915#post435871222 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3669915&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post435891682

Mr. Tumnus or whatever our intrepid halfling is named is from a Wizzard's Tower. He is a Master Orator, who specializes in being a Criminal. Our Warrior is from a Religious Bastion and is quite a good Haggler. Our warrior is, on top of it all, an excellent Cook. They may yet be bad enough dudes to rescue the President.
