Grabbing someone! :D

This is interesting. None of this is in the 1981 printing, nor do I think it's in the re-formatted versions that followed (Traveller Book, Deluxe edition which the OP has, etc.), which I believe all used the 1981 version as a source text. Thanks for sharing. I don't think saying the ref can...

Anson steps forward, and attempts to grab the old woman who is moving so slowly and physically drag her inside, hoping his example will motivate others to do the same. With his burning fist he attempts to grab the old woman's robes and pull her in, off her feet, and physically carry her inside...

I love classic Traveller, and some of my best gaming experiences have been with it. It's different from a lot of other (modern) games, though. 1. Character creation, even removing death during chargen, yields wildly variable characters. Many modern players don't like that. I've made my own...

All good from me. I posted (IC 113) and set up an illusion just around the bend, in hopes of keeping the wagon on the bottom right corner in case they tried to run our blockade (which is how I would respond to an ambush--g.t.h. outta there.).

I'd prefer not to use roll20, speaking for myself -- oje site for interface is far easier for me. Lovely map!

Urgan looks down on the winding road, and feels he has arrived just in time. He sees the advance scouts ahead of the caravan, and with a gesture he places the image of a barricade just around the corner of their view. His intention is that this will appear to be an obstacle, and keep the wagon...

As Anson leads as many as he can towards theshutting gates, he becomes frustrated at the stragglers. "If you don't go to that gate right, I'm going to kill you myself!" he threatens. His face is red, his fist is blazing, his saffron cloak adds to his stature and his size. "Move! Now!"...

Arcana Cleric. The Arcana cleric in SCAG was the best way a character could get an attack cantrip that required a die roll in 2014. Unless your species gave you one, you had to wait until level 4 for Magic Initiate. That one thing is what made the Arcana cleric radically different to play than...

Don't we have enough Fighter subclasses that use INT? Why not one that is build off of Charisma or Wisdom?

It's not clear what you think a level of Psion gives you that you want. I suspect you aren't doing yourself favours by going into a third class. Sorcerer 5 will give you third-level spells, and at level 6 you can cast the psionically, if that's the flavour you want. Warlock 4 gives you a feat...

Is one of the zombies in the road still standing? If so, Anson Willoughby shoves it, trying to knock it prone. That will put him in range of the creature, his one fist still burning, as he shouts, "To the gates! Now!" Is the child Benny safe? Who is the blue-skinned goliath who wrecks such...

Urgan holds back, cautious that he doesn't want to mbe in the middle of things. Stealth with advantage: 1d20+2=20. Scamp can be up ahead, but is not getting into the fray, just checking things out.

Team AMBUSH Urgan will say that he has never been part of an ambush before, but he understands the principles involved. First, and most important, is to select a location. Any bottleneck, constraining the options for those being ambushed, is desirable. The narrow bridge, for example, is ideal...

Ha ha. For some reason I gave Anson Intimidation. So persuasion is +2 , with advantage from help. 1d20+2 with adv: 18. It wasn't clear if Maximilian's spell was on Anson or not, but it's not needed to make it by 5. Thanks for the help! We're leaderly. Standing like a beacon, Anson shouts above...

Urgan nods, and gets ready fro the ambush. He didn't like to say his anxieties about taking the boats out loud, but he obviously should have done. Boats capsize; they get attacked from below; they leak; and when they have issues, you're helpless -- everything is about the boat, not the external...

I think I was at fault, an dI too apologize. Urgan is an anti-leader, it seems. His leadership was illusory...

(2024 Burning hands has doubled its range! now it's fully two cantrips in one.)

Con save: 1d20+1=21. Critical save... the way to begin a campaign. 3hp damage, now 6/9. Insight: 1d20+0=14. Pass. A wave of nausea hits Anson and his knees buckle as the light changes. Has time passed and it's now night? He doesn't think so, but amidst the screaming and the tears and the panic...
