Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game OOC01

[Insight]

I hadn't noticed this difference, either, Shayuri. I like your plan, so we'll be at Tech level 10 for purposes of GURPS Ultra Tech I and II only. Regular Traveller TL 12 as before. In other words, no gamma ray lasers just yet, ok?

I bought all of my stuff (for both Doc and Kaira) assuming TL 9 and 10 were the limits. Glad to see we're on the game page.

Kaira is posted to the RG.

[sblock=Insight]Give me the run-down on this Scorpio cartel again? Email it to me if you'd prefer.[/sblock]

[sblock=Shayuri]Does Zoe have some special connection to Lunion? Can you share it with me?[/sblock]

[sblock=Leif]It's pretty much an interstellar criminal cartel that Kaira pissed off in some way. I hadn't developed it much beyond that. I figured you/we could do that as the game went along. My only initial thoughts are that Kaira was in deep with the cartel's leadership and stole some critical information. She was caught trying to sell this information to the highest bidder and is now on the run from them.

Note: This is NOT the "Secret" listed on her character sheet. Kaira would, however, want to keep a lid on her connection to the cartel.[/sblock]

Leif, I originally included the Lunion AK because Hannigan had it, and I imagined that Zoe and Hannigan had been flying together for awhile previous to the campaign beginning.

I see now that isn't the case, so I'll fix that little glitch right now.

In case anyone's wondering, Dr. Alexander Hannigan will not be a pc in the game. He is graduating to npc status, and he still is the owner-aboard for the Zax Hakjohn Quik, so if you want Zoe to have a pre-game history as his pilot, Shayuri, that's ok with me. Insight's ONLY pc will be Kaira.

Upon reflection over the weekend I've decided that I'm going to decline joining this game. There are several reasons for this which I'll list if you're interested:

--I've recently made a commitment to participate in a dance competition at the end of October. Getting my routines in order and practicing with my partner takes a lot of time and I don't have a lot to spare especially considering I am also attending a Masquerade Ball at the end of October. I have big plans for that and a large part of the costume I'll be making myself (another time consuming project).
--I don't have the 4th edition rules and I'm not prepared to purchase those rules nor do I think it fair to rely on you all to aid me in creating my character.
--I have a hard time relating to/liking the Zhodanni and that's hindering my creative process. Several days of thought and I have no character ideas.
--I have tried very hard to keep myself to a limit of two pbp games. Somehow I have crept up to four. Any more than that and I don't think I could give them the time and effort that they deserve.

So, thanks for the invitation, Leif; thanks for remembering I was interested Grufflehead. I hope you all have a very enjoyable game.

Understood, GE. Sorry we're too weird for you with our Zhodani-loving selves. Actually, I didn't start out planning for this to be anything other than the typical Traveller game. But I just fell in love with the deck plans of the Zhodani Courier ship in GURPS Traveller Alien Races 1, and before I knew it, Scotley had decided to play a Zhodani character. Shayuri quickly followed suit, and the rest is history.

Anyway, GE, thanks for trying!

Happy gaming/dancing!

Wow! I guess that means that for the first time we have a 75% populated RG! Cool.
