[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9651454, member: 42582"] Here are two actual player reports, for Classic Traveller and Torchbearer 2e. These show what I've done, using those systems. In summary: roll up PCs; roll up a starting world; roll up a few other words to be used if/as needed; roll a patron encounter; and then start play. I have a big pile of Traveller NPCs, but might want to roll up some starting NPCs also to use as/if needed. You especially asked about [I]developing[/I] - so that would be the time preparing some NPCs and worlds for use in play. That could take a few hours. Summary version: PCs build PCs; we place their home settlements on the map as necessary; I place an appropriate place to explore - say, The Tower of Stars - on the map; play starts. If I needed to draw up a map, I could - but for TB2e, the WoG maps will do the job. If I had to prepare my own "dungeon", then from experience writing up a 6-area dungeon for TB2e takes an afternoon. (Or thereabouts.) [/QUOTE]
