Hello all, resident Alaskan here. I'm looking to start a group for play via skype, with assisted visuals by maptools. Here are the times/requirements:
May 20th (Saturday) @ 8:30 pm Alaska Time (9:30 pm Pacific) (subject to change but I'll try to post advance warning here if it does)
Must have Skype with headset/microphone and Maptools (from RPGtools.com) (Current version of maptools that I have: 1.36b86)
Slots available:
Rogue Trader- Open
Other Character Classes- 3-4 Open
Recommended classes- Explorator, Void-master, Arch-millitant, Seneschal, simple and straight-forward stuff so I don't get too confused
I am a first-time
GM (of any type), so beginning players are welcome. First session will be introductions, software testing (first time using skype and maptools, so we'll want to work out all the kinks), character building if neccessary, and starship building/starting Profit Factor generation (from Into the Storm rules). Here are the character rules so far, if you want to write up characters in advance-
Characters start at Rank 1, 5000 xp. Any non-xenos options from both the Core Rulebook and Into the Storm are permissible. Characteristics are on a points-buy system, with a starting pool of 100 points, with a maximum of 15 points in any single characteristic (thus, 40 points in any single characteristic before the life path). I will need a complete summary of each character's life path, including the options chosen within each life path entry.
DURING THE LIFE PATH: Players must follow the life path during character creation, with one exception: I allow each player to choose whichever motivation they prefer without it affecting their character class choice. The character class choices is instead determined by the previous category: Trials and Travails. The character class directly below the chosen trial, and the classes adjacent to that class, are the permitted classes. If you need additional clarification, contact me and i'll try to explain it better
During the first session, after we have determined ship stats and starting profit factor, I will allow a single acquisition roll per player. This can be whatever the players might want to start the game with, either on the ship or on their persons.

If you want to play, please post your intent to play and your desired character class. IF you would like to be the Rogue Trader, please ensure that you will ABSOLUTELY be able to play at the designated time... as the
RT you will be the single essential character. If you don't show, the Rogue Trader character will be decided amongst the participants.
If there is anything I left out, feel free to contact me with your questions, or post them to this thread:
