(3/4) Traveller T20 - The Soldiers Sons. Game started, but still recruiting

[Wilphe]

Dr Zombie, as the only person currently involved in running a T20 campaign at EnWorld, I would be more than happy to take a turn playing again.

Especially as how I have vivid memories of doing C Gen in "High law and Low Justice" when only two people had access to the rules and think you will need all the help you can get. I mean that the nice way.

And I take it "Army", includes Navy and Marines yes?

 

[DrZombie]

yes, yes, and yes, although marines are an occupation unfit for a real gentleman.

 

[DrZombie]

What you need to start with is:
- A general idea of the home-planet : Tech level, population, main species, attitude towards the empire, fauna-flora, agricultural,.... You can go pretty wild.
- What did your father do to get appointed governor of the system.
- How is his relation with his 'old noble' family.
- What was your youth like.
- What did you do before OTC, or did you go straight in?

 

[Wilphe]

yes, yes, and yes, although marines are an occupation unfit for a real gentleman.

And we don't acknowledge the existance of scouts right?

What sort of vibe are you going for here?
Is it a "blow stuff up by day, intrigue in the officers mess by night" type thing, which would be somewhere between "Band of Brothers" and "The Three Musketeers", but in Space.

Am I close?

 

[DrZombie]

yep. gentlemen sword and cloak pulp fiction space opera.

 

[Wilphe]

What's the status of aliens in this Imperium?

 

[DrZombie]

In the empire they are accepted, with the Vargr and the Aslan beginning to work their way into the nobility of the outlying regions. In the Solemani rim they are subhuman.

 

[Wilphe]

Hmm, Aslan would appeal, but their culture is handicapping. Human or Vargr then, is it okay if I roll for stats and see where that takes me rather than point buy, just for that Classic "you may die in Character Creation" vibe?

 

[DrZombie]

No probs. Roll the stats and see what you end up with pointwise. And I'll need a background before we start with levelling and the rest.
