(The DM blessed me with good rolls, only for me to lose some of them due to age)

I have the business/flying skills (Merchant) but was not as lucky in getting a ship.

I have 4 ship shares so if anyone else has shares, we can pool them together. That might be the connection.

I did get access to TAS so we doe have a source of information.

At best I can bring a single Ship Share. Or a Contact. Not sure which one yet.

Need one more share and we can start off with a Free Trader. (Just have to get some good cargo)

I honestly thought we were going with the GM on this and not sharing character info until we started the game....

Sorry.
I was just talking about Ship Shares. Do we use/need them?

Looks like at this time gygax101 and I are done rolling up a character.

www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/Traveller%20Playtest%20Doc.pdf

has the play test rules that can at least get you started.

Also more or less done and ready to go.

How about a Venture Class Frontier Courier?

3 Crew + 3 Passenger Staterooms, cargo, jump 2, 150 tons.  39.18MCr.

I am also nearly finished.

I still have one decision to do about benefits and then only need to write up a small backstory and the most difficult thing during character creation, a name.




Its probably best to wait until the characters are unveiled so that we can see if we are actually able to use a space ship, how much resources we have and what StarMaster has to say about it.

Actually, I've thought about it and going to try for the full 6 terms..of course, the dice-roller might stab me with a crappy aging roll...only time will tell.

Wasn't sure on that point.  Are we holding to a six term limit?

Ship shares could well be a Connection, either as owning shares of the same ship (somehow), or else meeting at the broker when trying to acquire a ship. I've also got a few options in mind, since everyone seems to want a group ship.


Yes, I think six terms as a max is probably a good idea. However, if you have a character background (other than just rolling more careers), I'll consider allowing more. I mean, even now, it's not unreasonable for people to still be active into their Eighties. That far in the future, living to be 150 should be possible, even without anagathics.

"I'm a 107, sonny, and I can still kick your butt... for about 2 minutes, then I have to take a nap."


Anyway, still waiting for a few players to finish up, and then I need to extract the pertinent information from the characters and distill into something coherent, which I should be able to do today, so hopefully tomorrow we'll have a nice barroom brawl or something...

As I predicted...term 6 was a bust, but, at least my aging was fine (by a sliver)...

My 2 cents on +6 terms, you start getting into that risky catastrophic failed age roll...I suppose if you have really good physical stats...it might be worth it.

I'm hoping to get the finishing touches done today (maybe).

I am also finished (I think). Just need to tie everything into a backstory and of course do connections if we can find any suitable event. But I guess that has to wait till everyone has finished their character.

Makes me wish I had stopped at term 6. Oh well.

Me, too.  Rework tonight. :(

And I *definitely* had some failed aging rolls.  Still, I was starting to like the gentleman. :)

I stopped after term 4, my character may be the odd man out

Me too.
I planned a 5th at first, but the events fitted my planned backstory perfectly and so I stopped.

StarMaster, should we post the final stats in a special format in out generation threads or do you want to piece it together on your own?

I am kinda anxious to see how the group finds together.

There's a couple of things I still need to work out with GM, then I will finish up my guy...for the most part...it might take me a bit for the buying of equipment.

Are we sticking with the standard 2k Cr buying limit?

Riiight, I knew I forgot something.
Looks like I have to undo some of my purchases.

No, I wasn't going with that Cr2,000 limit. Once the game starts, you could buy those things anyway (unless the tech on the planet didn't support it).

I never understood that 2K thing...Keep in mind, you've "lived" those 20(-/+)years, and other than what "mustering out" items you have, does that mean you can now only buy a pitchfork and an ugly dog?

Doesn't make sense.

I don't think the GM's goal was to not have us discuss working out our skills as a group, only for us to do our own character generation separately (as in individual threads)....
