Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader : ウィキペディア英語版
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

''Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader'' is the first edition rule/source book for the Warhammer 40,000 miniature wargame by Games Workshop. The subtitle refers to a particular class of character within the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
==Rule book==
The existence of a science fiction table top game in development by Games Workshop was made known through ''Citadel Journal'' in 1986 and ''Rogue Trader'' was officially released at Games Workshop's annual Games Day event in October 1987. Created by Rick Priestly, The game was sub-titled ''Warhammer 40,000'' in order to clearly differentiate it from 2000 AD's ''Rogue Trooper'' comic series. The game featured rules that were closely modelled on those of its older fantasy counterpart, ''Warhammer Fantasy Battle''. The majority of the book was written by Rick Priestley who was also responsible for WFB.
The gameplay of ''Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader'' differs from its main modern-day descendant (''Warhammer 40,000''), in that it was heavily role-play-oriented, with great detail placed on weaponry and vehicles and the inclusion of a third player (the Game Master) in battles, a role not too different from the Dungeon Master of Dungeons and Dragons. ''Rogue Trader'' game introduced some races that were later removed from the Warhammer 40,000 setting, such as Squats (''Warhammer'' dwarfs in space), Zoats (also present in ''Warhammer Fantasy Battle'') and the Space Slann (a humanoid frog-like race).
Models which were released for Rogue Trader are no longer produced and are available in private collections with limited remaining stocks available on the Games Workshop online store.
Like many later incarnations the ''Rogue Trader'' rulebook mostly contained what is often termed 'fluff', i.e. the historical background of the Imperium and alien races. Information on the Warp was limited and the forces of Chaos were nowhere to be seen; but they were referred to by game designer Rick Priestly in the pre-release announcement, and they did show up shortly after in expansion rule books which provided not just greater background for the various races and armies but also the first proper army lists. Only a small portion of the book contained rules, with a large number of pages devoted the background of the universe. The fact that the current edition still contains a great amount of 'fluff' is a testament to the popularity of this arrangement.
Games Workshop's current management has been somewhat reluctant to refer to ''Rogue Trader'' in modern publications, choosing not to have parallels drawn between their current products and the somewhat more whimsical and tongue-in-cheek style that they practised in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the opening text was nonetheless highly similar to the later editions and of the opening texts of Black Library publications.
Also illustrative of the style is that the inside covers of the book were decorated with caricatures of members of Games Workshop staff.
In addition, supplemental material was continually published in White Dwarf magazine, which provided rules for new units and models. These articles were from time to time released in expansion books along with new rules, background materials and illustrations. All in all ten books were released for the original edition of WH40K: "Chapter Approved - Book of the Astronomican", "Compendium", "Warhammer 40,000 Compilation", "Waaagh - Orks", "Realm of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness", "'Ere we Go", "Freebooterz", "Realm of Chaos - The Lost and the Damned", "Battle Manual", "Vehicle Manual. The 'Battle Manual' was simply a collection of After Action Reports depicting the progress and the outcome of WH40K games reportedly played out by the White Dwarf editors and while useful from a certain point of view it contained no game-related rules or any other material, the 'Vehicle Manual' on the other hand contained a new system for vehicle management on the tabletop which was intended to supersede the rather clunky rules given in the base hardback manual and in the red softback compendium, it had an inventive target location system which used acetate crosshairs to simulate weapon hits on the vehicle silhouettes with different armor values for different locations (such as tracks, engine compartment, ammo store and so on). 'Waaagh - Orks' was an introductory manual to Orkish culture and physiology and contained no rules but was pure background ('fluff'), other Ork-themed books instead were replete with army lists not only for major ork clans but also for greenskin pirate and mercenary outfits. The "Realm of Chaos" books were hefty hardback tomes which included rules for Chaos in Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Warhammer Fantasy Battle (3rd Ed.).
