![]() So ruleswise I can confirm we are using the Mongoose 2nd edition book but I'm happy to steal borrow information from earlier editions and from the GURPS book (I also have the ancient GURPS Aliens so a couple of those species might pop up as minor non-human races.) |

My problem is, I'm torn between two character concepts: LOL. But one must settle somewhere, so here it goes. I should also mention that the "copied" rolls show as altered, but they are verifiable on the dice rolling thread. Rolling this character has been its own adventure!
Name: Trystiene Corbyn Possible Careers: Entertainer, Rogue, Agent, and the RNGods willing, a Noble. Why yes, the gods were willing. But other dice changed some careers. No rogue. Stat Focus: Soc, Intell, Dex Edu ended up higher than expected as well Concept: A bonvivant, ne'er-do-well, and intelligence asset not to mention an "acquisitions" expert. To be more precise... A hustler you say? a Con man? I'm sorry. I prefer the term "canny entrepeneur". And here is where RNG failed me. He's more of an administrative dilettante than a rogue charlatan con-man. He can still exceed at acquisition and has numerous contacts, but he is less unsavory than original description. Oh, and he throws an absolutely amazing feast. As a writer, I'm always into character development and interpersonal subplots. Tryste will offer opportunities for plot hooks, and will be much more focused on trading, negotiating and logistics than he would be on combat. Fighting is for those not quick enough of wit, or fleet enough of foot. If it comes to an exchange of gunfire, then something has gone most sincerely wrong. It's far better to plan ahead and fire that first shot to end the entire unpleasantness.

His name beginning with "tryst" is kind of a give-away. Can't possibly be kosher.

Good god, this sounds awesome. I know nothing about Traveller at all but I know I want to be a part of this. Apologies in advance if I've missed this in the thread somewhere but what is the closing date for this?

Girly?? Who exactly do you think you are speaking to? My mother only had the one son and no daughters. However, I might point out that only a very naïve person would take that first shot from a vulnerable position. If the gun misfires or, heaven forbid, the shot misses, then of course, the most viable solution at that point is to avoid the conflict until you are in a better position. I would recommend both Clausewitz and Sun Tzu to help you sidestep such unfortunate situations.

It looks like I found this way too late to join, so I hope everyone enjoys themselves! Traveller is a great system for all kinda of sci-fi! *cheers*

I don't believe that's true, Spleeter. I don't think a closing date has even been officially set for this one. Hop in, the water's fine.

In light of other posts and commentary I decided to add an image to my offering lol. Perhaps it will more adequately convey a few salient points.

Okay the game has been approved!
![]() You can now use the dice rolling thread for character generation. Roll 'em bones ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to set a tentative deadline for Friday the 13th (!) when I'll pick a PC group. |

Jesus Christ... I will have to do some thinking as to whether I find this character even playable. Need to ponder how my personality idea would interact with her life being that much of a failure. But I think it could work.
Mechanically, the character is totally useless, of course. So I hope we won't have to roll much. ![]()

I think you missed a couple of Event rolls. They might hopefully bring you some more luck! |

Ah, I missed one - the event roll for the university term.
The draft term and the drifter term were mishaps, so no event rolls for those. And the one for the journalist term, I did.
