T20 Traveller - On the Edge (looking for 4-6 players)

[Blarkon Dragonslayer]

Yeah, though getting a starting ship in traveller was pretty common, a lot of adventures are written looking for a crew for a ship (including some with some very shiny ships. In fact, the 3 QLI "cruiser" adventures are to this tune...)

Yeah, I have those. I considered using the merchant cruiser, but I'm a bit leery of having so many NPCs floating about.

 

[Shayuri]

Agreed. Ideally just one or two NPC's...or even no NPC's for a game of this scale.

Otherwise we'd be RPing capital ship engagements.

Oh, also, I'll be offline this week, starting later today and possibly going until the weekend. Not sure exactly how long.

Seeya when I'm back!

 

[Blarkon Dragonslayer]

A few questions so that I can try and finish up my character:

1. What is the starting age for a male aslan?
2. What about physical characteristics for aslans? Height? Weight? Etc.
3. I need some ideas for bonus languages.
4. Does my character get any money?

Starting age is 14
Base Height for an Aslan male is 170cm + an additional 2d6 x5 cm
Base Weight for an Aslan male is 60kg + an addition 1d8 x5 kg
Assuming you already know Trokh, Vilani might be a good choice, as would almost any language spoken on current day Earth, since a lot of various groups, especially in Gateway Domain, brought their languages out with them during the Rule of Man era.

His mustering out benefits are:
35,000cr
Weapon x2 (up to 1,000 cr value each, or cash in for 900cr)
+2 Int
TAS Membership

In addition, he receives 8,000 cr each year in retirement benefits, which he can collect at any Class C or above starport, or naval base, in the Imperium.

I think we're about ready to go, barring any last minute equipment purchases, with the exception of Wilphe, who isn't done with prior history (I don't think so, in any case.)

We do have a couple things to iron out, though. Right now it looks like the group in general is going to be starting without a ship, at least so far as mustering out is concerned. A lot depends on what direction Wilphe's noble ends up going, but for now, we'll leave it that.

The last small wrinkle is up to all of you. How is this disparate bunch connected? Do they know each other, and if so how? If not, obviously the first order of business is to get them together.

Aplogies, brown stuff hit the fan at work.


Well, I was wondering if she could work towards Big Game Hunter - hence wanting Tracker and P/Hunting

How would you feel about taking Humans as her species spec, that would represent her being more of a Bounty Hunter...? At the moment this looks like how the character looks like developing, I'm not sure there is anything especially that needs covering in the party right now?

If she can take her material benefit for mustering out the marines please, and two more terms of Noble if that would be okay? Even though I intend levelling her up in Professional and Mercenary if I can.
You never know, we may get a ship out of it...


Trust Fund would enable her to put a downpayment on a ship, but without too many shipboard skills she would limited to "Owner Aboard", "Supercargo" or "Cargo-Handling Security"

No worries, real life rules...dangit

Her material benefit for her term in the marines is +1 Edu

Noble Term 1 Government Post, No promotion, +2,000 xp bonus
Total XP 19,000 Age 33
Noble Term 2 Diplomatic Post, No promotion, +3,000 xp bonus
Total XP 26,000 Age 37

 

[Wilphe]

I apologise if people are waiting on me:

If I can, one more term as a Noble to hopefully get her to level 8 and I will be done


Will probably take two levels of Mercenary + one other; not so sure about going the Big Game Hunter Route though

 

[Blarkon Dragonslayer]

Well, things have a been a bit slow on my end, and Shayuri is making a move also, so this has been delayed generally, by real life events. In any case, we will get it going.

Noble Term 3 Diplomatic Post, No promotion, +3,000 xp bonus
Total XP 33,000 Age 41

Noble Mustering Out (took 1 cash roll, 2 material):
50,000cr
1 High Passage
Yacht

 

[Shayuri]

I'm back, nominally. Should everything work out the way I hope/plan, I am back fer good.

Otherwise I may have another day or two of outage next week. Wish me luck.

In the meantime, I am back, so all's well for now.

Stop there, I shall finish her off...

A lot of weapons and wilderness / outdoor / survival stuff
