About the adventure
Ulysses Zissou is missing. One of the galaxy’s most infamous rogue traders has vanished without a word. No wreckage. No ransom. No corpse nailed to a voidship’s prow. Only a warp trail, fading into nothing. Now his five heirs rush to prove his death and seize the Zissou Dynasty Warrant of Trade—their license to plunder the stars. But the youngest heir holds the one thing the others lack: a fragment of star chart, the only clue to Zissou's final voyage. It points to the galaxy’s furthest edge, where Imperial maps dissolve into myth. This is a Wrath & Glory campaign of relentless pursuit, cosmic mystery, and dynastic war. You will chase rivals across uncharted systems, plunder derelict worlds, uncover forbidden relics, and face heretics, xenos, and nightmares that should not exist. Every system hides a secret. And somewhere beyond the void, Zissou is out there—hunting something ancient, impossible, and utterly perilous. This is The Life Heretical with Ulysses Zissou.

About me
Hello! I’ve been playing and running RPGs for the better part of 3 decades, professionally for 10. In that time I’ve introduced tabletop rpgs in kids’ programs (ages 8-13) and to adults of all ages. I love nothing more than bringing people into the hobby! I run an inclusive and respectful table that spans playstyles from a light, casual atmosphere to an immersive and deep experience. Over at www.thetabletopalmanac.wordpress.com you can read reviews I’ve done of a variety of games. Even if not listed on my profile, I’m available to run them all!

Creating your character
I'm open on what books you want to use for character creation, as well as which options--a Rogue Trader crew can be quite varied. We won't be making highly powerful characters, but certainly competent ones. They will be below Space Marine level though. Either one player will need to be the Rogue Trader Heir, or I can run them as an NPC. We'll do this either together during a designated Session Zero, but I'm also happy to do it over Discord.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a Discord account. That's it!
What Simon Kaye brings to the table
I like to aim for distinct voices and stick to RAW. Music is great, so long as it doesn't bother anyone. I will also champion your characters -- all of them, because you're a group, but you will get to do the cool and distinct things because you're the protagonists.

How Simon Kaye creates a safe table
I'll send around a consent checklist, X-cards are in play, and we'll do a "hard no" list.
