Secrets of the Abyss: A Rogue Trader Campaign

How to prepare

A mic is required. A webcam is requested, but not required. A Discord account is required. A Roll20 account is required.

What I provide

I will provide pdfs and any appropriate materials for the game upon player request. We will use Discord for communication, and Roll20 for maps, characters, etc. Combat in this game can be more intense and tactical than other systems. However, it is also very cinematic!

Gameplay details

Characters will be created before or during Session 0. Session 0 will also cover lines, veils, etc. There are no absolute truths for those exploring the Expanse, merely the whispers and misconceptions of men, the legends and fragmented histories of things that should, by all rights, be impossible, or at the very least, highly improbable. That is, at the core of it, the nature of the Koronus Expanse—a place of impossible things, some wondrous and others terrible, a graveyard of dead gods and the resting place of slumbering horrors amidst unimaginable treasures and limitless opportunities for glory. Great men and women have given their lives to see what the Expanse holds, while others have found their sanity shattered or once-noble intentions twisted by what they find. The lucky and daring few who have come back more or less intact bring with them tales that do nothing but inspire the next generation of daring explorers. And so the cycle continues, and will continue, as long as people exist who see danger as merely the cost of opportunity. A great many things are afoot within the Expanse, from the politics of Port Wander and Footfall, to the fates of distant colonies that shudder beneath the light of tainted stars and dread storms, to the things that lingered in the darkness before Mankind ever ventured beyond the Maw, and the other forces that have come to exploit the wonders and horrors that lay in wait. Presented here is a small selection of those things, legends ranging from the epic and world-shattering, to the tall tales of voidsmen told in dank taverns over cups of dubious liquor, and the footnotes of ancient historians whose works gather dust for generations.
