Oooo. Lets spend the day building Traveller spaceships! I'll bring Mathmatica to work out the optimal hull/engine/hardpoint curves.

Umm, yeah. Traveller was designed back in the day when you couldn't have good game design without throwing in some physics and calculus.

Traveller would be awesome. In rereading my post it sounded like I was being sarcastic but that's what we actually did when we played Traveller -- and loved it. Of course, a little space exploration would be fun too.

Sorry guys, I'm out. In emulating the actions of the Great One, Vince, I'm headed to Vegas that weekend.

As far as I know, I will be there!

Did we ever decide what we were going to be doing? Not being a math/science whiz I'd prefer something more than number crunching for the entire evening. If we're going the "outer space" game route I'd be interested in something along the lines of Firefly (which I guess is more of a Western genre than a space thing)

Just let me know. I even have a great outer space smuggler game if anyone is interested (which I'd love to play sometime even if it is outside of our regular 2 week rotation)

I am thinking of running a Traveller game with a Firefly flavor. We will NOT be spending all night number crunching, as we will not be buying and outfitting spaceships from scratch.

Okay... so I looked up some info on the Traveller universe and I was thinking something along the lines of a clanless Aslan tough. If you're not wanting there to be alternate races just let me know.

Anything else I can do to aid in the character gen process? Thanks for giving us a headsup btw. Looking forward to it.

I am not wanting there to be alternate races. I am envisioning a very Firefly-like universe, albeit bigger.

May I use the character I rolled up (but did not have a chance to use) last time?

3 pm start? (I will be in Greenwood in the morning, so earlier than that might be problematic, but I can see what I can do)
