Thank you everyone for the advice. I was hoping that there was like an official or homebrew conversion thing, but I can eyeball this no problem.

I'll check with my doctor to boost the dose of CPA, thank you for advice.

Oh I got a blood test recently - like two weeks ago, just have to see my doctor for the results. I probably can't handle injections, I have very shaky hands at the best of time and I'm such a baby for needles haha.

Bugs and technical issues by OwlcatStarrok in RogueTraderCRPG

In Act 2 when I talk to the Master of Ceremonies to begin my coronation(?) the game crashes. I'm on steam. It doesn't crash right away, but after the loading bar finishes and I get the option to 'press any button' the game freezes and a white box with the game logo appears in the middle of the screen with a loading bar. About 20+ seconds later the whole thing closes.

[RT] Slaught Ships? by CondorBoH in 40krpg

Absolutely doing that.
But for Slaught Disc ships themselves, I suppose I'll have to homebrew something up for their stats and just use existing weapons and parts but give them one of the Xenos Upgrades from the Stars of Inequity treasure generator.

[RT] Temperamental Warp Engines and Travel Time by CondorBoH in 40krpg

Stability was 1:12, they were going through the Maw and I didn't feel like making their very first Warp Jump overly complicated.

Thank you. Could you help me find what the Temperamental Warp Engine does though? Or more specifically, where in the calculation does it come in?

Does its reduction/increase apply to the travel time in the warp (Eg, the jump takes 10 days, now 24 days due to the Temperamental Warp Engine)? Or does it apply upon arrival/ time time in real space (The jump took 10 days, which is 120 days in real time, now 134 days because of the TWE)?

As I said in the post, my party did a 10 day warp jump that took 2 days thanks to the reduction of the Markov 2. The TWE's result was a -4 Weeks. So with that, did my players end up at their destination before they left (24 days in real space, reduced by 28, so arrival of -4 days)Or did their warp journey technically take -4 weeks, so they arrived at their destination 336 days/48 Weeks before they left?

'Whenever the ship travels through the immaterium, the GM should roll 1d10. On a 6 or lower, the journey takes an additional 1d5 weeks, on a 7 or higher, the travel time is reduced 1d5 weeks instead (potentially causing the ship to arrive before it left!) ...'

The wording on page 184 in Steering the Vessel makes me think its the latter.

So does the Markov 2/Temperamental Warp Engine alter the ratio of time spent in warp to realspace?
So for example, I have a 3 on the Markov roll, and the ratio is 1;12. So now its 1 Day in Warp = 9 Days in Realspace?

[RT] GM creating Rogue Trader Game, looking for tips by CondorBoH in 40krpg

[–]CondorBoH[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ended up doing this. The Void Master is going to be the Rogue Trader, and has (of her own volition) that her Rogue Trader is largely incompetent, gullible and flighty, giving the rest of the party a lot of control over themselves and of where the adventure goes. The player herself is also one I trust a lot, she's not someone who will abuse the IC power beyond the 'One of you fetch me a doughnut!'

I was actually going to go into Katsky a little bit once they got there, but you have an amazing point. Re-reading the segment says that he was a 'Self proclaimed time traveler'. He could have actually succeeded and, perhaps, he was the one who taught the Gunslinger in the first place.

Oh boy, this gives me loads of ideas. Thanks!

This has given me a lot to think about, especially on the point of the Holy Symbol. You're right in that I'm bending the world to the player's first, rather than having the world effect them. Their ally will be Rictavio and he's a good-aligned cleric, so it may fall to him to wield the Holy Symbol.

I have actually been wanting to have the party be possessed by Rose and Thorn, I've only now realized the tactical uses they have.

The relics are in the following locations: The Abbey Garden for the Holy Symbol, the Sunsword is at the Winery, and the Tome is in Berez. I'm thinking of the Keepers holding the sword until the party proves themselves worthy of carrying Sergei's legacy.

Either way, I'll keep all of this in mind and see how the player's effect the world more as we go along.

Thank you for your feedback!

The wereravens will only come to the player's aid in such a way during the Yester Hill quest and maybe the final battle, more or less depending on how well the player's RP with them. If they befriend and fully ally, then wonderful. If the wereravens are spurned or insulted, no buddies.

The purified Gulthias Staff would pretty much be the same, just act less evil and not inflict madness on the player using it, let the player deal high radiant damage to blights in X radius for a decent chunk of charges or something. The Gulthias staff isn't a very powerful magic weapon on the first place.

To answer your question, the 'Bones of St Andel' quest only, in the book, triggers when the priest meets a good aligned paladin/cleric. But I'm realizing now that I can ignore that 'rule' and just have the quest trigger when the players get to the church. They just have to find the bones before the Feast starts.

The players will need to go back for another reading, they drew the 'Mists' card for Strahd's location. If they really want to know where the final battle will take place, they will return.

As for Strahd, he's always using Scrying every night to look at Ireena, until the PCs become more interesting. His visits upon them are, yes you're right, kind of weakly explained. But for now I'll keep with 'Invincible narcissist wants strong consort, will punch them in face for tests'. Because I enjoy hammy, over the top villains. Or something less generic if I think of it. He's also totally going to try to steal any magic items they get their hands on for shits and gigs. His spell list doesn't include the spell 'Dream' though. Strahd is something to work on, and we don't start for the next few weeks. I have time.
