I bought a couple of 3D printed retro Land Raiders and that gave me the idea of playing Rogue Trader. I've already played it a few times over the years, but I'd like to get more into it. I own the main rulebook, the Compendium and the Battle Manual (I bought them years ago).Any anons here play RT in 2025? What's your view on the supplementary material, do you think it adds to the game? The way I see, there are like three versions of the game, right?>Vanilla: Main book + Book of the Astronomican>With supplementary stuff: Main book + Compendium, Compilation and Realm of Chaos>Proto 2e: All of the above plus the Battle and Vehicle Manuals, and the Ork booksIs this a fair assessment?The basic vanilla system is not very difficult to run, but it gets unwieldy fast once you start adding White Dwarf stuff. Army lists, vehicle and battle manuals, yay or nay? I don't own beakies, but I've got enough middlehammer Eldar and Space Marines to play pretty big games using the White Dwarf army lists, the two Land Raiders alone are like 1500 points according to the Compendium.So basically, what's the best way to enjoy the game nowadays?
There's a whole general for people playing old versions, including RT. There's also Renegade Scout, which is mostly rules equivalent but an easier read.
