[ooc]Traveller T20 - Full

[Wilphe]

Finally had some time to go over the characters in a bit more detail - more to follow as I keep looking.

Ruzz'Koff:
Wilphe, looks like the character is almost set, as soon as equipment etc. is ready. Prestige is +3 for prior history.

Hot damn! At this rate I'd better buy Fleet Tactics...

<Walks into Vargr bar>
Ruzz'koff: Hey! Anyone fancy forming a corsair band?
Vargr: Where do we sign up?
Barkeep: Hey, wait for me!
Local Drunk: Whersh everyybody gune?

Thomas:
Looks good, Tonguez, although I'm not quite sure what "Gauss Rifle transported legally" means either - it could get you in some trouble in quite a few places

By transported legally I mean that its been shipped in a locked box through customs as a momento of his old Military career. But on reflection thats probably a bit pointless - and so , Gauss rifle deleted

Honest Question - not having much in the T20 book to go on, I granted a +1 for public acclamations (like medals), and highly successful missions (ie, terms in which max xp bonus were gained) - is that too much, given previous material, etc.?

 

[Wilphe]

I have no idea. Especially as T20 can't agree whether to call it Prestige or Presence and doesn't appear to include any mechanics for using it whatsoever.

It's more fluff and vauge backwards compatibility than anything else I think. So it means whatever you want it to mean.

GURPS handles this matter entirely differently, so I think the person to ask is Douane.

I'm probably going to just use it somehow to influence Cha-based skill checks involving Vargr. Gotta come up with something consistent, though.

Thanks.

Saanath was thinking that if Treth can get there, the Aslan families from his homeword/city might help him out. Give him a job. The families of the males he hung out with as a kid.

The way I see it, they are land owners (land ownership seem to be significant for the Aslan) but wouldn't really have great status as they live outside the Aslan Sphere. They probably also keep losing their young adults as they seek adventure etc in more interesting place. So maybe they need people (Aslans)

But I don't really know much about Aslan culture, so I wanted to check.

Can you let me know if its OK, or at least if Saanth would think its OK.

Certainly possible, from Saanath's perspective - land is paramount, at least for males. Mur Mura - where he mentioned he owned land - is a planet relatively near Daramm. You've heard its name before, so is must have been in the news recently, but you've no idea for what.

How many jumps is it to Kansas from here?

I'm asssuming Kansas is in this Sector as Saanath is unlikely to have crossed the Imperium to get here. And his Merchant stint didn't get him very far from home.

Character is up. I'll add background soon.

Thanks, Tailspinner.

Do me a favor and just note on the character sheet where the various ability modifiers were applied (for level increases, old age, prior history, etc.)

Feel free to start posting in the IC thread - don't feel the need for your chracter to show up at the tavern though (if you do want to start there, though, that's cool too.

By the way, everyone, I swear I didn't intend for our campaign to start off with the party meeting in a tavern.

Thanks
