Much of the composition of the units was determined randomly, by rolling dice.Ī few elements of the setting ( Bolters, Lasguns, Frag Grenades, Terminator Armour) can be seen in a set of earlier wargaming rules called Laserburn (produced by the now defunct company Tabletop Games) written by Bryan Ansell.
This original version came as a very detailed, though rather jumbled, rulebook, which made it most suitable for fighting small skirmishes. The game play of Rogue Trader was heavily oriented toward role-playing rather than strict tabletop wargaming.
Game designer Rick Priestly created the original rules set (based on the contemporary 2nd Edition of Warhammer Fantasy) alongside the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The 1st Edition of the game, published in 1987, is referred to as Rogue Trader.
