FLEET COMMUNIQUE ENDS


  • STANDARD QUEST! You are playing Commander Vyn, a new master and commander of the heavy frigate Valiant!
  • Write ins allowed!
  • This quest is deliberately designed to be a focused narrative - Vynn, her ship, her enemy, her prize. Once the End of Days is burning hulk or a captured prize, the story ends.
  • This will be using the Warhammer 40k RPG rules set - specifically the one from Rogue Trader
