Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Did the title of this thread change names?

Of all the settings that shouldn't have romances, Warhammer is #1.
But they're going to pander to the Reddit/Sigmarxism crowd so...

Give me one good reason why a Warhammer RPG shouldn't have romances as well as quickies. Normal humans don't have their dicks destroyed by the emperor like the Space Marines do. Who in their right mind wouldn't bang hot alien space elf babes?

Man, I want this to have romances and mandatory Bioware style gay sex scenes just to watch you screech about it.
Like, if this were Kickstarted, I'd run a PR campaign just to get that as a stretch goal and see it funded.

So how easy is it to get into this? I am actually serious when I say that I know nothing about Warhammer. I only know that the boys from Blizzard copied it when they made WarCraft because they couldn't get the license.

And what about the mechanics? Are they obtuse, or easy to get a hold of?

I feel this time around, the tutorial will be a key component for me. lol

Since we don't know what system they will be using it's hard to say.

It'd be the FFG Rogue Trader rules. There's a tweet someone posted about it using D100 TTRPG rules.

This one, posted by Dodo1610.

The game will actually use the mechanics from the 2009 Fantasy Flight Games RPG

Owlcat are woke in the liberty loving capitalist sense, they're not neo-marxists killjoys. You bet your ass that there will be diversity in this game mate and that the nazis will cry about it. Meanwhile I'm going to play as Captain Kirk and get laid with some xeno babes.

Ciaphas Cain playthrough is the way to go.

Also ITT a bunch of people forget that both Pathfinder games also had cartoon trailers.

I haven't read any of the books, only played the games. Did that guy ever get laid?

 

[Infinitron]

He has an Inquisitor waifu, I think.

Somebody probably keeps statistics on rogue traders that fuck one too many aliens and ends up a Slaaneshi cultist.

There's strange poon, and then there's really strange poon.

joke aside, i always feel that in WH themed games be it fantasy or 40k the idea of corruption is something that is failed to be explored

imagine out of all the WH based games only DoW 2 Chaos Rising do something with it even in a hamfisted Warhammer 40k way

in some way I guess it is also the setting fault to make corruption into such a ham fisted thing, but video games RPG that track corruption of the 4 gods behind the scene (not brightly colored PICK THIS TO GET KHRONE POINT) would be interesting. And hide the dialogue choices otherwsie when you don't get a "corruption/purity" tresshold (e.g. someone with Khrone corruption would not be offered choice at all to be merciful in some situation)

Constantly but doesn't fuck filthy xenos.

I suspect they will replace anything that usually uses cinematics with cartoon. I don't mind the idea to be honest (I do enjoy cartoon aesthetic as such)

This. People forget how colorful and vivid most of the stuff invented in '70/'80s was: D&D, Warhammer, classic SF, etc.
This is how original artworks made by Moebius for Jodorkowsky's never filmed "Dune" adaptation and compare it with what we got in XXI century:

Old Harkonnen:

Leto:

Sardaukars:

Or another example, Chris Foss and his starships:

I, too, saw that documentary.

Are romances confirmed yet?

The dev's in the discord have confirmed that romances are in the game but haven't gone into any details

 

[Lacrymas]

Also paging Lacrymas to hear his impressions on what we know about this game thus far))

It's turn-based, so that's good. I'm unfortunately not familiar with the ruleset, so I can't comment on that, but I'm sure it's not as dumb as Pathfinder 1E. The premise, however, leaves a bit to be desired. You are already a commander of a voidship, so getting even more riches for the sake of it seems obscene. If we were there to conquer the other worlds, that might be more interesting and has more potential.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

even more riches for the sake of it seems obscene.

man you truly has a positive view on humanity huh

riches or its analogues has been the driving force of human conflict for centuries

[InD_ImaginE]

watching the trailer it is sad that game looks pretty much like Pathfinder. I guess they are reusing engine and asset but the similarity is too big

discord

Where else would their fan base of Discord Trannies interact with them?

Here's your xeno-romance guide:

 

[PanDupa]

Only romance this game needs is your undeniable love for the emperor

Yeah but this is great because you see in the 70s Warhammer used a COLORFUL palette.
