The Auld Grump That's a pretty normal World of Darkness character background. 1 hour ago, PingosHusband said: I ran one game of Traveller in college.

vutpakdi Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 My most successful Traveller games was a PBEM (Yahoo Group) game that ran for a couple of years real time called The Tales of the Bray Keaven. One of the players serialized the game into a story hour on Enworld but most of the second "tale" was lost in an Enworld crash and never recovered (as a story hour). It was fun while it lasted, but after the second adventure completed, I was tired of being the GM and handed the reins off to one of the players. Unfortunately, things petered out partway through that adventure. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlistment accepted. Voluntarily reenlisted for second term. Voluntarily reenlisted for third term. Voluntarily reenlisted for fourth term. Voluntarily reenlisted for fifth term. Voluntarily reenlisted for sixth term. Voluntarily reenlisted for seventh term. Mandatory retirement after seventh term. Do the scouts have no ranking? Or did mr. Kask survive by being a desk jockey or something? Halber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rank differentiation in the Scouts. Very strong character, btw, since he has pretty good stats for his age, a scout ship, and retirement pay, as well as decent skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Has anyone else noticed that the benefits rolls for this character generator is rolling horribly low? I did roll about 20 characters, this is my first one, and never saw a ship share, or an air raft or vacc suit, TAS or any of the other 5,6,7 benefits. Best I saw was a high passage once. The skills also look like really low numbered rolls, for example a general with no skills from the officer list. One of the best parts of the character gen was the skill build and the mustering out benefits, this seems to take away a lot of that. Mind you I really like the Mongoose 4th ed best. the life events and service events add a lot to the development of character histories. and of course someone pops up with a scout ship the moment I make the comment..... I still think the benefits are running awfully low Edited September 21, 2017 by Kangaroorex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erifnogard Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Not bad for a first shot at a random character. Love her name as well. I assume the fact that her Gambling is her highest skill is why she was denied reenlistment after the third term. "Never tell me the odds!"

Erifnogard Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Decided to keep generating characters till I successfully made a scout. Now I remember scouts being a fairly dangerous character background but I literally went through 18 scouts (and sundry other characters) before I had a scout survive character generation. He only went one term but given the untimely demise of his 18 predecessors I can't say I blame him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlistment denied. Drafted into scouts. Chose not to reenlist after first term. I hit a few, but I'm not rolling up as a girl (no offense, but my falsetto is not up to the task). This was the first guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstellar Bureau of Internal Security From Dragon Magazine #35..... Yup, I played one of them.... Also, the link takes me to a pre gen character, forward or back wards the same.... Is everything already done? As I saw some of the same names folks posted when I messed with it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlistment accepted. Denied reenlistment after first term. Well, that's an uncharacteristically short, boring, non-lethal career by Traveller standards. EDIT: Hit refresh and got another rather atypical result: a scout who uneventfully lived beyond 30.
