Intrigued and seeing if I can fit another game into my schedule. What kind of posting rates are you looking for? And are we doing traditional, old school character generation with all of it's risks and rewards?

Anything space opera is my jam.
I have tried Traveller in PbP on a different platform, and found it challenging. But I would like to try it again!

I'm open to most career paths.

Off the top of my head thinking Pilot or Medtech.

I'm intrigued - I think I'm going to apply. I keep hearing people say that Traveler is awesome, but I haven't played it yet. I should have time for one more game in a few weeks.

I started watching this video about character creation and I've gotta say, it looks pretty awesome. While I know you can't die in character creation in this version (except optionally?), I love the idea!

Seth Skorkowski's Traveller Overview series is fantastic.

Very broadly about 2 to 3 posts a week but I am aware it takes a while for a game to find it's groove with posting rates.

And yes we are doing traditional character generation with everything that can go wrong or right!

Both of those sound useful!

Welcome and thanks for the interest!

That is indeed a good video!

I really like the idea of the Traveller character creation. I usually plan out an idea so well in my head, I worry that I tweak them a little too much. The random nature of life/career paths seems really interesting! I'd like to see what other people are thinking too. My initial idea is a Navy Gunner/Engineer. I'd probably hop on the Psionic train if it came up early enough too. Kind of luck of the draw, but really cool

Very intrested, played a little of traveller before.. I might go for a cop/marine or for a diplomat/dilettante.. failing those either draft or crime, respectively.


I'm too eager, I'm going for the ambassador type dude and start rolling

Welcome.

I think at this point we likely have enough interested parties, especially since choosing from among you will be hard already!

If/when my game request goes through I'll post a link to a dice rolling thread and we can start the organised chaos that is character generation.

Orion
right-aligned image
Name: Orion Fenlow
Possible Careers: Scholar, Agent, Scout, Drifter
Stat Focus: END, EDU, STR, SOC
Concept: Artifact hunter. Sort of like a “space Indiana Jones”, but more of a mercenary, bounty hunter type. The general vibe I’d go for is tough, street smart, narrowly educated on antiquarian and anthropological topics of interest, more strong than fast, and gruffly charming.

Interest? I’m more interested in storytelling and character development than the game mechanics, but I do enjoy the game mechanics too. I’ve never played Traveler before, but the character creation alone looks like it would be a blast. I enjoy the used-future vibe of the game and similarity to things like Star Wars, The Mandalorian, and Firefly. In terms of character development, I try not to get too locked into a particular vision for a character – I enjoy seeing what happens to them naturally as the game progresses and how their personality naturally develops. For posting rate, I should be able to do weekly almost always, and biweekly most weeks.

Character Details:

Happy to oblige if someone is playing a "Turk".



Oh - and which version of the rules? So I know what to look at.

East Bound and Down
Name: Sibylla Katirci
right-aligned image
Cosmonaut by David MalanSibylla Katirci

Career: Merchant (Free Trader)
Concept: Space trucker… in space! Honestly, I just really like this piece of art and wanted to use it.

Sibylla has always been thankful she was blessed with insatiable curiosity, yet not burdened by great ambition along with it. Straight out of school she went to the stars, eager to see what the universe had to show her and never content to just live on some ball of dirt. Not everyone sees working on a Free Trader as an exciting career prospect, but Sibylla was never looking for danger or intrigue, just the chance to wander, so it suited her just fine. Growing up on Enaa, where everything needed to be brought in, gave her an appreciation for traders. Then again, she takes the life-or-death situations that come up in the same level-headed manner that she applies to almost everything, learning early in life that panic was never helpful in a crisis.

During her 16 years in space as part of a few different Free Trader crews, Sibylla has gotten a lifetime of experience and seen more of the universe than her childhood self could have even imagined existed. While she might not have the education that engineers have, she has a breadth of knowledge that makes her invaluable to a ship crew, and a flexibility that makes her easy to get along with. Most of her work has been above board, though she did take some sketchier work during her earlier years when good paying gigs were few and far between. She also hasn't gone mad during the countless jumps she's endured, not like some of those she's travelled with over the years, so that's a bonus.

Sibylla still hasn't outgrown being the tall, gangly, awkward teenager that always spoke her mind and the truth. That rubs some people the wrong way, but that's fine; they're probably not the sort of people she, or her friends, want to know. Neither fancy, nor cultured, she knows what she likes and is content with getting it, even when others look down on her for it. Need to find that special something, or someone? She knows who to talk to. Need to fix something? She knows how.

Character creation rolls.

 


 


Sibylla's character creation events for possible connections with other PCs, if accepted to the game:
Term 1 - Betrayal (gained a rival)
Term 2 - Smuggling (successful - details?)
Term 3 - Specialist Training (unsuccessful)
Term 4 - Specialist Training (unsuccessful)

Did some updating on my concept. Always tough to know where things will end up, but at least I've got a decent idea of where they'll start.

PAX Unplugged is gonna own a lot of my time this weekend but I'll keep an eye on things here.

Since everyone is doing pretty things now, I've added a little bit more to my idea post.
