About the adventure
You and your entourage have inherited your Dynasty's Warrant of Trade. However, upon inheritance of your your vessel, you have learned that you are responsible for paying an ancient debt to the Inquisition! You are required to act with secrecy, posing as a normal Rogue Trader crew, as Inquisitor Lord Ghent sends you throughout the Koronus Expanse, Calixis Sector and even the Jericho Reach in service to your Inquisitor. Can you survive and even earn a profit as you fight secret wars for the Imperium?

About me
GM since 1980, I run games you haven't heard of. Indie and non-Hasbro games are my gig! I wrote 'How Humakt Learned to Grieve' for the Jonstown Compendium. I run Star Wars, RuneQuest and other non-Hasbro games. I use safety tools such as lines and veils, X-card, brief and debrief, bleed management tools and others. My table is an explicitly safe BIPOC/ND/Queer/Trans/LGBTIA+ space as I am queer and nuerodivergent myself.

Creating your character
Characters will be created during session zero. For those already familiar with the FFG Rogue Trader rules, characters may be created with optional material from Into The Storm, Navis Primer, Faith and Coin and other official rules books. Players can also play Space Marine Scouts, Eldar, Ork Freebootas and other non standard types, see me for details.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You should have a strong internet connection, a headset, and a DIscord account. PDFs of the relevant books can be purchased at Drivethroughrpg.com
What Chris brings to the table
We will be gaming on Discord in a theatre of the mind style. All you need is your completed character, which we will be taking care of during session 0. I'll be bringing my years of 40K TTRPG experience. You bring your faith in the Emperor and burning desire to expand the domains of Holy Terra!
Homebrew rules
A number of homebrew options will be available. Generally, characters of approximately 7000 XP (equivalent to a Rank 1 Rogue Trader character) are allowed from all of the Fantasy Flight 40K Game lines except Black Crusade. Eldar Rangers, Ork Freebootas, Kroot and even Space Marine Scouts are available. However, the roles of the Rogue Trader crew will need to be filled out.

Safety
How Chris creates a safe table
I will be using various safety tools, such as the X-card, lines and veils, and other tools to ensure fun as we explore the 41st Millennium. Further, this is a queer, women, and bipoc safe table. Hate speech will earn an immediate ejection. 40K is the classic grim dark setting. We will be having a discussion before play about what is acceptable content, using a green/yellow/red method, determining what is "fade to black" acceptable and what is absolutely band, working with the table.
