In this episode of the Dice of Doom Podcast we discuss our first impressions of the roleplaying game Rogue Trader set in the dystopian future of Warhammer 40k universe. Having to spend time waiting for people to turn up to games night has meant that we have started playing a lot of board games, so we review Pandemic. We also have a long rambling discussion loosely based around our our thoughts on Splitting the Party, its evils and James Bond.
We apologise for the gap between episodes. This show was recorded in November of 2012. We are recording new shows starting this week and hope to have one or two a month from here on in.
Running Sheet:
- [01:18] Rogue Trader First Impressions

Once again we are looking at a blank calendar with lots and lots of empty gaming slots to fill. About this time every year we ask our readers (and listeners) to recommend games that they think we should play. These games become part of our podcast and website through reviews and discussions, so suggestions from our community are very helpful in collating our calendar.
In this fibre packed episode of the DoDCast (good for you in so many ways!) we talk to Paul about his recent foray into teaching his kids about roleplaying games. We also discuss the role of sourcebooks in your campaign – just how rigidly should you adhere to them in your game. Sam from Tw33t_RPG joins us for an interview on his upcoming tweet roleplaying game. And, as a bonus, we include our first impressions of the Mouse Guard RPG, just because we’re nice like that.
