I got my hands on the Hostile Acquisitions supplement for Rogue Trader. It's pretty neat. I took three things out of it, mainly:<br/><br/>1) My ability to laugh at 40K renewed. The Imperial Navy and the Ecclesiarchy tag team to create master crafted luxury battleships . . . for penance crews. These ships all have top of the line equipment that is as luxurious as possible, but each crewmember is outfitted with gear specifically to prevent them from enjoying the luxury they are surrounded with (but that they remain cognizant thereof). These ships are sealed, with the outer decks patrolled by arcoflagellants to stop any would-be escapees (though most who crew such ships are voluntary penitents - though honestly it seems like a pretty good choice: get flogged to death or go live uncomfortably on a resort luxury cruiser?), and then they are explicitly sent to places where the Imperial Navy does not have the time or resources to do their job. They spend billions upon billions of thrones upon these expensive ships just to punish their criminals and send them to places they don't have the resources to take care of.<br/><br/>2) A lot of Rogue Traders spend a lot of time, and take every opportunity to, wave their dicks in the face of the Imperium, and the Imperium<em><strong>does not</strong></em>appreciate that very much. There exists a minority of Rogue Traders who know nothing in life but to be legit, but in the main most Rogue Traders deserve an Arbite with a shock gauntlet punching them in the throat, forever (or stomping on their faces with extra heavy duty boots, forever).<br/><br/>3) A Zaythan Warblade is a two-handed chainsword with a functional powerfield and a stat-block of 2d10+6E, 6 Pen, the Powerfield, Unbalanced, and Tearing Qualities, 9 KG weight, and a Very Rare availability. Part of their fluff says "these weapons are relics of a lost age, and bear a resemblance to a number of advanced chainblades from the very earliest days of the Imperium." I'm thinking I can use these stats for an Astartes weapon to use instead of a power claymore for my Astartes character in a Deathwatch game offsite. 8D<br/><br/><br/>Also Arl wants to go with techpriest-chan so she can minister to his wargear. ;-; moe for the moe-god
