Your experiences with the system called "Stars without Number"
I've had a several month long campaign using this system and it's pretty solid, character creation is fun but easy, combat is pretty standard but at lower levels very deadly so tactical approachs are needed. The world generation tools can be quickly used to get a base template for a planet set up which massively speeds up the time the GM spends building the universe.
Overall I like it, not the hardest sci-fi I've played and artifical intelligence characters are pretty overpowered but it's fun.

>Your experiences with the system called "Stars without Number"
I've yet to use SWN as itself. Instead, I've been borrowing big chunks of it to flesh out a Traveller sandbox campaign.
As you note, the world gen tools are quick yet still detailed enough to give a GM a nice starting point. I like the trade system because it produces encounter & adventures instead of just being a number crunching exercise. I'm also using Starvation Cheap to "run" a planetary war of which the players will become involved in a small part.
Finally, the Faction rules are inspired and, with little work, can be use for any genre. I'm using them to create a "living setting" for the players, meaning shit happens and life goes on whether they're involved or not.
>>
I'm curious how good of a fit this would be for 40k. Operating a starship, space adventure, political intrigue, that sort of thing. I really like Rogue Trader's premise but don't really like the ruleset.
In particular the idea of large scale stuff like the faction system seem like it would map well to RT. (maybe more so than its actual ruleset)
>>
>>52363263
First things first: ffg's ruleset for 40k sucks total ass. This is not up for debate.
Second: swn is old school and deadly, ought to do 40k just fine if you can swing with the old school rules.
Third: ANY ruleset will work if it's the rules you and your players enjoy - even ffg's ruleset.
tl;dr - it will work if you want it to.

Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1969. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

So, if Abaddon is blessed by 4 chaos gods, does this means that he's more powerfull than primarch deamon princes?

>>52360173
Entirely dependant, 'blessed' isn't a binary yes-no to add to your power scaling certificate, a lowly Marked Cultist of Tzeentch is blessed by the Architect, but those blessings don't give even remotely as much power as Apotheosis by the same God.
Either way, from an influential standpoint he's likely above the Primarchs for now, but from a raw power standpoint we're mostly unsure, as ol' Abby goes from jobbing to Marines to throwing Kharn around like a ragdoll depending on the writer's mood.
>>
Reminder that Abaddon FAILED to accomplish even ONE of his goals in 10 thousand years.
>>
>>52360173
In the sense that he could beat them in a 1v1 fight? Probably not. In the sense that he could convince *all* the Legions to follow him to war, acting as a somewhat coherent military force? Absolutely. That's what makes him so valuable to Chaos. Not his raw combat prowess, but the fact that like his father before him Abaddon can rise above the petty rivalries and forge some semblance of unity from the gibbering hordes of the damned. None of the surviving Primarchs can do that, they're too enthralled to the will of one god or too personally defective in one way or another.

Good morning there to you, landsmen! You had a great night last night at the good old Pickled Herring. Fine establishment, and a most patriotic one to boot. My lads were good to buy a few free rounds last night. They also gave out a few King's Shillings which you were happy to accept. They having to buy a room for the night as we went of port
Welcome to Her Imperial Majesty's Ship Basilisk. A fine forty gun Frigate which has begun a six month patrol of the southern seas. Don't feel glum ladies and gentlemen, you'll get your spiffy new uniform, learn valuable skills of seamanship, three square meals a day plus limed grog, better pay than any stingy manufactory owner will pay and that is before Prize Money. We'll begin our first gunnery drill in ten minutes.

Well, six months isn't that bad. I'm a fair hand at the ropes, and the finest damned cook this side of the Ivory Coast. I'll just hunker down, work hard, collect my pay. And on the last day before we make port, I'll poison the entire crew, or at least the officers. Leave them crippled in bed shitting blood and moaning in agony as their internal organs rupture and they bleed to death. Then I'll simply take my pay, and the ship, to Tortuga, sell it off, buy passage back to Havanna, and return to my botany and herbalism. I have high hopes for a particular strain of the native Tobacco there.

Assuming that the Marine was 10k years old and roided up on Warp juice, would he stand a chance against one of the Emperor's sons? Or is he doomed to the eternal purgatory of jobing for the glory of Spiritual Liege? Tell me, tg.

I use table top as an excuse to cook big meals. If I'm feeling more creative I'll even theme the food around where the players are and what they are doing/ recently killed. Big hearty stews, wonderful roasts, ethic feasts, usually with appropriate snacks. I did an all day simmering pasta sauce last time, and I'm going huge on Indian this week. Should be a blast
