Dark Heresy - Rogue Trader Core Book

[Glen]

In Rogue Trader, you take on the role of a Rogue Trader and his most trusted counsellors, empowered by an ancient warrant of trade to seek out profit and plunder amongst unexplored regions of space. Your ship will take you to new worlds and uncharted reaches of the void, where you will encounter rivals, pirates, aliens, and possibly even creatures of the warp. You will acquire and spend great wealth and riches, and fame or infamy will follow. You will discover ancient and forgotten mysteries and search out the unknown to find lost human worlds or never before seen celestial phenomena. You must survive the dangers of space, for beyond the threat of vacuum and deadly radiation lurk things Man was never meant to find.

To be part of a Rogue Trader’s crew is to stand on the threshold of nearly unlimited opportunity. Vast profits await for you and your fellow Explorers to find and claim. Fame and fortune reward the bold, but the unwary find only an anonymous death.

Can it be played with just this book or does it need the other dark heresy books to play...?

[Glen]

i'm pretty sure it needs the original Heresy book to play it.

[Igginator]

awwwww, that sucks.....might have to look at the original books then cos ive just started playing D&D and im loving it

[masterdecoy]

from my understanding, its a stand alone product that is compatible with Dark heresy.

Meaning you would only need this book, but it can be combined with heresy

[Igginator]

ohk, i may have to look it up to see if it is stand alone or not.

[Igginator]

yes you were right masterdecoy,
I found out it is compatible with the other dark heresy books which means it is stand alone
