I also don't want to undermine the whole idea behind the origin path, either, but as some of my players aren't as familiar with the 40Kverse my intuition is to let them have more free reign in choosing their paths. Most are fairly logical progressions to their respective careers anyhow.JonSolo42https://www.blogger.com/profile/15253204425416887805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-61453565992576150492010-03-01T11:32:44.089-08:002010-03-01T11:32:44.089-08:00As for Deathwatch, I'm tremendously excited ab...As for Deathwatch, I'm tremendously excited about it, though most of my players aren't as familiar with the concept as I am.Witchfinder Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687787876038475142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-75485569740732409382010-03-01T11:31:40.320-08:002010-03-01T11:31:40.320-08:00I kept the Birthrights unaltered and the same, bec...I kept the Birthrights unaltered and the same, because this is my first time out with Rogue Trader, so I want to cleave as close to the original rules as possible. <br /><br />That said, what I did was to allow the players to freely interpret the fluff behind many of the Birthrights. For example, you can see that the two Arch-Militants took the Savant Birthright. They interpreted that as joining a military academy, even though if you read the fluff in that Birthright, it's clearly not what was intended.<br /><br />Likewise for the Explorator, who picked Child of the Creed. The fluff in that Birthright emphasizes a devotion to the God-Emperor, but he's playing a Tech Priest. So, I allowed him to say that his Child of the Creed experience was one of being faithful to the Omnissiah. <br /><br />For a Forge Worlder, I would allow them to interpret Scrapegrace as someone who worked menial and highly dangerous tasks on a forge world.Witchfinder Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687787876038475142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-29884121641470397302010-03-01T05:03:16.834-08:002010-03-01T05:03:16.834-08:00Oh, and what do you guys think of Deathwatch?Oh, and what do you guys think of <a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=108&enmi=Deathwatch" rel="nofollow">Deathwatch</a>?JonSolo42https://www.blogger.com/profile/15253204425416887805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-24245196960722831352010-03-01T05:00:33.356-08:002010-03-01T05:00:33.356-08:00Did anyone have difficulty with the Birthright col...Did anyone have difficulty with the Birthright column? Some other GMs have noted that Scapegrace and Stubjack aren't necessarily logical choices for someone from a Forge World. Savant is a much more reasonable choice, apparently, as compared to Child of the Creed. I'm thinking about making Birthright the "free choice row" for my group, or perhaps leaving it a bit more open for those with strong concepts.JonSolo42https://www.blogger.com/profile/15253204425416887805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-65100168530495681162010-03-01T00:02:55.042-08:002010-03-01T00:02:55.042-08:00It's a good background system, and probably on...It's a good background system, and probably one of the best things about the game as a whole. Somehow though, my players ended up falling half-and-half on either edge of the career tree, so the seneschal and missionary have decided to be cousins, while the explorator and navigator have decided to have been "hired" by the trader dynasty.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601968301444433077.post-69640653137944255642010-02-28T23:46:35.213-08:002010-02-28T23:46:35.213-08:00Much more fun than "You all meet in a bar ......Much more fun than "You all meet in a bar ..."Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192928573798426693noreply@blogger.com
