<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Question about Warp Travel "]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Question about Warp Travel
I run a DH campaign and one of my players (playing a Void-Born) has stumped me with a question. Was hoping someone here could help me out?
Luckily this is between sessions, he was writing a bit of background and messaged me on facebook with this:

When travelling in the Warp, what would a traveller see when looking out of a ship's viewport?

This has got me completely - I've not got a clue! Can't find an answer in any of my 40k or DH books or online. My knowledge of 40k is ok (not as good as my Fantasy knowledge tbf) but I've never even considered this. Anyone got any ideas? Help!

Cheers!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4532584.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4532584.page GMT Question about Warp Travel RT source books it mentions blast shutters down over any viewports during the warp as if your look at it and you're not a navigator you're going to go insane.

For the navigator characters it also mentions how they view the warp varies from navigator to navigator as everyone's mind tries to make sense of it different ways so if a normal person were able to look at it I imagine it would be the same.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4532641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4532641.page GMT Question about Warp Travel raw energy that is the warp would destroy the minds of all. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4532898.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4532898.page GMT Question about Warp Travel ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4539845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4539845.page GMT Question about Warp Travel http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4539930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4539930.page GMT Question about Warp Travel 40k, they are certainly sealed when in the warp.

You're no fun at all. Why kill him, or make him otherwise unplayable, when you can use it as an opportunity to create fun. Dwarf Fortress fun.

The power of the warp flows into the character. Congratulations, you have developed latent psyker powers. You are now an unsanctioned psyker working for the Inquisition. Bonus points if the next adventure has a null NPC so the poor character has to fake food poisoning to cover up.

Looking into the warp caught the eye of a daemon. Guess whose character just got themselves a hot new nemesis. And the attention of the Ordo Mallus, if they manage to notice that the same daemon keeps showing up wherever the PC goes.

Have him receive a vision from the Emperor when he looked into the warp. Or maybe not from the Emperor. Or maybe it was more hallucination than vision. Regardless, the Inquisition wants to pick his brain about it, and that's literally going to involve picks in his brain. Will the group attempt to scoot off to do something about what he saw?

The Gellar Fields would prevent that though, since they block of the powers of the warp.

Your second option may be possible, but I doubt a daemon of true power would really interest himself in a single human who looked out a porthole at a random point in time while screaming through the warp at incalculable speeds.

The third would hardly require a glimsp into the warp to occur. Plenty of document fluff of things like that happen all the time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4561339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4561339.page GMT Question about Warp Travel
Gellar Fields flicker, too. There's a table in FFG's Rogue Trader book that contains all sorts of "random events" that can happen during Warp Travel. If the Gellar Fields happen to drop for a few seconds or minutes.... well, all hell breaks loose.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4561677.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4561677.page GMT Question about Warp Travel http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4563408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462684/4563408.page GMT Re:Question about Warp Travel

there is an area where they can see outside?
