RPG-HAMMER 40K:RT style

Like Warhammer Fantasy, the first edition of Warhammer 40,000 (Rogue Trader) was also designed to allow for Role-playing adventures in the far, dystopian future. Though, even less detailed than the rules presented in 1ed. WHFB, they are also less confusing! No special skills but for psychic powers and great material for a sword and planet style campaign! The only thing missing are monetary values for the equipment, and the character advancement rules are very simple. Dragon Magazine 149 had a great article by Ken Rolston on using 40k as RPG.

Thanks Mark!

It's a nice article, but for the death and injury rules I'd probably use those of 1st edition Warhammer Fantasy...
