    Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game OOC01

    Sorry for the delay. I lost Internet from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon, exactly 24 hours & now I feel I'm coming down with a crappy head cold.

    Gruffle "Let's make sure somebody around the star port here knows we're heading over there & send out a message to the higher ups that we've landed & we're on our way to the facility." says Gruffle & then adds, "Right. So let's start making our way off ship & to the nearest air-lift, tram...

    No apology necessary. It's just that when reading general Internet forums, they are awash in people making jokes. Everybody on the Internet is a comedian. Then I go read our Traveller forum & the jokes continue & the game starts feeling like Spaceballs. And it's not to say your joke wasn't...

    Gruffle Gruffle says to the team, "We should probably just show show up unannounced & see what is going on. That will give us the advantage of surprise. I don't see the point in arming ourselves against a pack of accountants." Gruffle lets out a wolfish laugh & continues, "If things turn bad...

    Status check So what's going on with the other players? Haven't seen anyone posting in quite some time, except for the comedy relief post just now. The joke posts are really destroying my suspension of disbelief, however. I'd say the game is currently in a crashing & burning state. Where...

    Gruffle Before landing at Edenelt, Gruffle uses the ship's computer to look up some general information about the planet. "I also need to find those replacement parts for the jump drive damage." Gruffle mutters to himself as he keys in the information to search for data on Edenelt.

    Gruffle Gruffle is taken aback in surprise & then says, "I understand your loss & I am sorry for it. However, for the sake of your safety & ours, please keep the drinking down to a minimum. Their may be some soberup pills you can take, maybe available at this starport." Gruffle heads back...

    Gruffle To Kaira & Zoe, Gruffle says, "Yeah, but he may be a disturbance to the other passengers. Do you want him making a mess all over our ship & stinking up the place? I say we should confine him to quarters or flat out ask him to sober up or we'll leave him here." With that, Gruffle...

    Gruffle Gruffle looks out the view port to check the weather on Burtson to see what he's in for. To Kaira & Jimmy, Gruffle says, "What are we going to do about this Jason fellow? Should we confine him to quarters to keep him from killing himself from alcoholic abuse? What's the story with...

    Gruffle To Zoe, "Sure I'll be heading down with everyone to take a look at the planet. We've been couped up for about a week now & I might as well get out & stretch my legs. And furthermore..." Gruffle looks up & around at the ships infrastructure as he listens to the sound of the engines...

    Yeah I watched one of those for Rifts on a different forum. His requirement was 3-4 hours every Friday evening. They have software tools that you can get (some free, some not) so everyone can look at a map, their figure for combat placement, etc. I think some of that Traveller stuff out...

    Oh yeah, it was a great roll. However, when you mentioned some sort of worf rat or minoc in the engine, I thought you were joking, so I played along & went & banged the engine. I didn't think you were serious about the engine problem claim. As for Zoe's OOC mention of lower is better for...

    Hi Leif, I just rolled for engineering. After I get some conversation from the others in the cockpit, I'll go back & resolve the engine issues. Btw, have you ever though of doing a GURPS Traveller podcast? I was looking around on iTunes & some folks were doing a live D&D podcast, thought...

    "Raagh!" Gruffle says in frustration as he tries to figure out what is wrong with the Siezerhausen valve on the JumpDrive but cannot figure out what's wrong. He gives it a good bang with the palm of his hand & heads to the pilot area. "So it looks like we're heading to Burtson? Does anyone...

    As for my location for the intercom thing being inside the ship, well think of airports. People gather to board in a section & a tube to get into the ship. At the docking station for a plane, for example, they have an intercom. I figured when you said that people were waiting to board the...

    That's simply the wrong choice for the word. Simply put: if you turn too quickly in space, it'll wrack your brain inside your skull & kill you. That's the point I was trying to make with Michio's description of space combat.
