Oooo, I love maps.

Bump for more. I've been saving these images because this thread has done it's job...inspiring me to want to start a game. so keep em coming if you can.

Got it through searching previous threads. Just ignore me. Nothing to see here. Move along.

When you take a Reaction, I see the book says you take a -2 to your Initiative and a -1 DM to further actions. 1. Is the -2 to your next initiative if you have already acted? Or is that ignored if yu already have gone? 2. Is the -1 DM penalty described in the paragraph cumulative with the -1...

HOLY CRAP YES!!!!! Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you! :D :D :D :D :D I read this book all the time back when I was a kid and was one of the few books that got me into the world of Sci-fi and Fantasy (Half Magic and The Dictionary of Imaginary Places...

I'm posting this here mainly because I was inspired by the Traveller pictures thread. Does anyone recall a book from back in the 80s. It was a large hardcover book that details various startships in the galaxy? It was written like it was Non-fiction, usually with a picture on one page (Of the...

OK, Now I'm finding some glaring contradictions. Pg 9 States under Ranks and Benefits that you start your career @ Rank 0 and when you advance in Rank, you gain the skill benefit (If there is on) on the Ranks and Benefits Chart. To me, that states how I've been doing it in my examples (Start...

OH WAIT!!! I think I remember something that I had answered a while back. 1. Roll to Qualify (Success) - I am Rank 1 at this point right? Not Rank 0? I think I recall coming across this and being told you do not start a careerat Rank 0, rather @ rank 1 if you qualify

OK, now I am confused. What is the definition of a term? The example given in the book makes it look like getting through Rank 0 is a completed term. So, to start an example (Thanks for working through this with me BTW), Buck Sterling is going to be a Pirate, beginning his career as a Rogue...

My Bad ^_^ I missed that step. Trying to type this between phone calls at work Correct. When I am forced out, I do not gain the benefit roll for Rank 1, only Rank 0. However, on Pg 9 and again on Pg 34, it states that you gain extra Benefit roll when reaching a higher Rank. Am I...

Per the checklist, yeah. Let me break this down. and please tell me if I'm doing/interpreting this wrong. Buck sterling decided to become a Pirate. I roll the entry test and succeed. So, being my first profession, I gain all the service skills as my base package. I then Choose a...

Additional Question: Benefits I have a character who advances to Rank 1 but fails the survival roll. I understand I get the benefits roll for Rank 0 and lose the ones for Rank 1, but do I get the bonus roll for reaching Rank 1?

Thanks for the help so far guys (and gals). I think i'm finally getting the hang of character Gen. But I've got one question so far. When rolling for Advancement, if you fail to advance but roll higher than the # of times in that profession, do you just stay in that profession at that same...

Bob I vote for Bob as it's name

STARPORT: If you use the Hard Science optional rules, you can get values below 2 (since population affects the starport). Thanks Riki. I must have missed that rule. :)
