	'''Rogue Trader''' is a tabletop [[RPG]] based in [[Games Workshop]]'s [[Warhammer 40,000]] setting. It is published by [[Fantasy Flight Games]] and is part of their 40k-based RPG line, making it mechanically very similar to and broadly compatible with [[Dark Heresy]], [[Deathwatch (RPG)\|Deathwatch]], [[Black Crusade (RPG)\|Black Crusade]], and [[Only War]] (and all their associated [[splatbook]]s).		'''Rogue Trader''' was a tabletop [[RPG]] based in [[Games Workshop]]'s [[Warhammer 40,000]] setting. It was published by [[Fantasy Flight Games]] and was part of their 40k-based RPG line, making it mechanically very similar to and broadly compatible with [[Dark Heresy]], [[Deathwatch (RPG)\|Deathwatch]], [[Black Crusade (RPG)\|Black Crusade]], and [[Only War]] (and all their associated [[splatbook]]s). Following the launch of [[X-Wing]] and the acquisition of Fantasy Flight Games by [[Asmodee]] the system was removed from stores.

	The basic premise of the game has the players take on the roles of a [[Rogue Trader]] and his retinue of trusted officers (altogether referred to as "Explorers" by the system) as the command staff of a starship. With wealth, privilege and power undreamt of by the average [[Imperium\|Imperial]] citizen, Rogue Traders are free to explore the galaxy at the edges and, indeed, beyond the boundaries of established Imperial space. Far from the prying eyes of the [[Inquisition]] or other Imperial authorities, any method of furthering their interests and making profit is on the cards; strip-mining, enslaving, or depopulating entire worlds are within the realms of possibility, and many crews are not above consorting with xenos or even turning to [[Heresy\|heretical]] means to achieve their own ends. The players are free to role play the crew of a noble exploration vessel, a band of piratical looters, or anything in between - more than any other in the 40K RPG line, Rogue Trader offers players the most freedom and choice as to what they wish to achieve and how they go about doing it. Generally speaking, Rogue Traders answer to no-one but themselves and their Warrant of Trade lets them go where they please with relative impunity (although it still behooves them to try and stay in the Imperium's good graces).

Includes a fluff section on Port Wander and the star system it's in at the end including an opportunity to play [[Space Hulk]] in Rogue Trader with some cuddly [[Genestealer]]s.		*''Into The Storm'' - Expanded character generation with extra Origin Path options, alternate ranks for careers, rules for playing [[Ork]] and [[Kroot]] mercenaries, additional psychic powers for the Astropath Transcendent and Navigator, and an expanded selection of equipment and starship components.

Short on player options but huge on background content, so definitely written with a more freewheeling GM in mind -- although, tucked away among some of the Chaos background is a whole-ass set of new psychic techniques and rules for Sorcery.

Even if you don't like adventures, they contain a wealth of information on Iniquity for more heretical groups, Damaris for those that want a slice of the Imperium in the Koronus Expanse, and rules for resolving strategic planet-wide battles through dice that work better (more streamlined) than the fiddly level of detail in Battlefleet Koronus.		*''The Frozen Reaches''/''Citadel of Skulls''/''Fallen Suns'' - A pre-written adventure splat book in three acts called the Warpstorm Trilogy.
