The vastly different scope is the big challenge! I think a good start is to basically up-scale everything. :)<br />Also that WFRP3/FATE/Rogue Trader sounds very interesting! You're basically replacing the Fudge dice with the WFRP ones?<br /><br />@Peabody - Ooh! Some neat Retro gaming? Nice!

Mechanically my group would probably have it easiest with Rogue Trader but I imagine that the players will, at first at least, struggle with the scope just as much as tthe GM. I'm pretty much sure that we will play RT in the future but I really want to do a lot of Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273617095134919455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-47046594125603047532011-09-27T15:36:40.110+02:002011-09-27T15:36:40.110+02:00Martin forgive me, I get lost in all the names on ...Martin forgive me, I get lost in all the names on the internet.

You mention it has clunky rules, and I agree. That's why the GM is making a new system for it - Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay rules (and dice) mixed with FATE rules. He and another player say it fits extremely well, though I'll believe it when I see it.

I was really happy when I first came across Minions as you guys seem to play exactly the games I'd like to play, and all the right mashups as well (Deathwatch with FATE!). I haven't listened to your Mouse Guard games though. Should do that. :)<br /><br />@DaveB Well, that's part of the challenge I think.

I would recommend you have the actual rogue trader be an NPC, otherwise the PC's can always just send waves of mooks to solve a lot of traditional problems. It's becomes a bit of a challenge go come up with sensible reasons why the players would be at the forefront of any action. Also the space ship combat is abysmal. <br /><br />I'd toss into the davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-24958011262362589312011-09-27T03:07:08.821+02:002011-09-27T03:07:08.821+02:00I have to throw in a shameless plug for the Minion...I have to throw in a shameless plug for the Minions of the Monster Master podcast, there's multiple episodes on 3:16, Mouse Guard, and Rogue Trader.
