Now that I finally got hold of a proper rulebook to go with the "Lite" rules, I've edited the second post of this thread to include proper details for the three starting characters. There's also a smidgeon of background. I suppose I'd better get to writing the story then...

*sharp intake of breath followed by low whistle*

I like Kull. Level-headed, professional, a firm sense of priorities, good tactics. He'd make an excellent cleric of Heironeous. Shame about the Hextor business.

That paladunce is going to prove a liability if he doesn't learn basic tactics. A dwarf, for shame.

Very little. I worry for them.

Man, why not just throw the dwarf through the window and have done with it? ;)

Act III: Miip - The Lab Sample's Affection for the Geneticist Date: 164-993 Imperial. Location: Miip system (0819), mainworld, uplands. “So, you don’t do much walking up hills in the merchant game then?” Sir David grinned at the Fish, who was obviously suffering. “Don’t these people have grav...

Damnation Alley!!! Ye gods, I've seen that film and read that book and I never connected one to the other until you mentioned it just now. What a travesty the film was. Yep, I started them with no vehicle in the hope that it would cause a bit of fun. There is also the small matter of money...

Still reading here.

Act III: Miip - They Sent a Whole Freighter? Date: 163-993 to 164-993 Imperial. Location: Miip system (0819), aboard the free trader “Avarice Rewarded”. Sentry had been lively but uneventful. They unloaded their cargo, delivered the first set of starport records, and did a bit of shopping on...

Look at me ma, I'm getting bumps. :) OK, I'm working on an update and there's a new PC to come soon. Meanwhile, how much XP do you folks figure they earned for the stuff that's written so far? Half a level (average) sound reasonable?

Sooner or later you'll have to bust some heads without getting yours busted. Even specialist stealth/diplo characters will fail those rolls eventually and land in a fight which they have to win. Versatility is good, but killing is the ultimate decider. For solo combat, with no cohorts or...

*thud* Woah. I mean woah. Hmm... *strokes chin* Good line. :) What timing. I didn't like Lucius when you first brought him back, but now I find him endearing. NPC? Cohort? I'm glad to see somebody's on the ball. Although that could be an unfortunate turn of phrase soon... The thot...

Library Data Not really detective work as such, she's just read and remembered the library data for each system on their mail schedule. INT 16 EDU 16, our Silea. Here's what the ship's computer turned up on Miip: Miip 0819 E999546-3 Ni 300 IU F1 V Decoding the system database line: Miip...

Not a good time to be a goblin then. <insert "I'm enjoying this, Kull is an especially fun PC" stuff here>

Act II: Liar's Oath - Bear Necessities Date: 149-993 Imperial. Location: jump space, aboard the free trader “Avarice Rewarded”. Two days into jump, Silea had given up on teaching Luan to use one of the hostile environment suits they’d taken off the Malfeasant’s crew. 40kg was just too much for...

All will be revealed. Well, some of it will be revealed, and it depends what the Avaricious do after that. Thanks for the kinds words, all. Traveller story hours are hard work -- they've only needed about 10 dice rolls up to the point you've read, so the game flows at an alarming rate. I'm...
