Welcome one, welcome all!<br/><br/>Couple of housekeeping points to get out of the way.<br/><br/>Everyone's who's on here, is on here 'cos they got a link in the request thread - You know this is our game because you know my name and my smashing Patriots signature banner, so you know you're supposed to be here, the vagueness of the thread title notwithstanding. Once you guys have designed and christened a ship, the ship's name will become the title for the game (and IC thread) itself. In the meantime, "Rogue Trader" it is :)<br/><br/>Secondly, subforum choice. I put this game in NC-Human. Now, speaking for myself, I did not set out on that request thread to come up with an adult roleplay set in the 40k universe; I just straight up want to play the game. Even so, this is Elliquiy, and if players wanna' go that direction with their characters they are more than welcome to provided they have the agreement of other players who may be involved in the scene or whatever.<br/><br/>It is in NC because we have a Dark Eldar on board.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>And that is all I can stomach saying on that subject at this juncture :P<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">I considered putting this game in Extreme...</div><div class="spoiler_body">...by way of censoring the savage racism, cruelty and horror of the 40k universe in case it all got too severe but, I figured, this is a Rogue Trader vessel, not a Black Ship, so the full genocidal horror of the Imperium won't really be demonstrated in any particular grizzly intimacy that goes beyond what can be covered under the NC heading. So it's all good.<br/><div align="center">(https://heresyandheroes.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/classifiedstampcutout.png)</div></div></div><br/><br/>As you guys start to develop your character sheets and backstories, post 'em here so everyone can get to know their crewmates. When everyone has finalised a character sheet we can start to design the ship :D<br/><br/>In the interim I'll be aggressively studying the rulebooks. Since. You know. First time player; first time DM. Emperor Protect Me :P<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/rogue-trader/news/prepare_your_ships/13_RogueTrader-HenningLudvigsen_4.png)</div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center">(https://img00.deviantart.net/ae1e/i/2015/196/7/c/40k_imperial_aquila__transparent__by_fuguestock-d91enql.png)<br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 36pt;">THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:</span></strong><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 36pt;">IT IS BETTER TO DIE FOR THE EMPEROR THAN TO LIVE FOR YOURSELF</span></div>
