I discovered that the Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader Rule book from 1987 is available for free online, and figured this is something worth sharing with people.
Besides an interesting find, it seems a good jump off point to discuss some of 40k, remanence for those old enough to remember the start, and learn as a new person.
I was surprised to find out that the Tyrranids seem to have been in it from the start, I always thought of those as later addition, and how close the space marines seem to have been from the start too, with 1,000 marine chapters and many of the core chapters being named from the very begining.
