You got it. Think of North Korea, or China a few years back, or, if you're old enough :lol: East Germany, and how welcoming those governments were to 'pesky furriners' - the people were usually a little shy but generally curious and friendly, it was the officials who made visitors' lives...

Your second question first - yes, the Law Level represents the 'hassle' level the PCs will encounter, from random ID checks to how quickly the Police respond to a crime. Now your first question. I've just gone back and reread TMB Law and Government sections and find I misremembered them - they...

And these sort of things can tie back in to the cultural differences table. It might be culturally acceptable (or even required) to carry a weapon, such as a knife, to indicate that the individual is an adult, but transmitting images of the human form may be forbidden on cultural or religious...

Second attempt :x Adventure hook. Our intrepid adventurers decide to register their ship at a 'free port', such as Wypoc, to avoid Imperial taxes. They get a Wypocan lawyer to do the paperwork and then discover that their new stakeholder is the son/daughter of the local political strongman...

Having rival groups trying to heavy the players for the device is always amusing - especially if the players hadn't thought about its value beyond the bag of cash they got from the buyer. If the Govt agencies insist that the players clean up the mess they made, and the buyer turns up deceased...

A mate of mine ran several versions of this starter over the years: - Your ship crashes half way round the Low Tech planet from the Class D starport. You set out on foot. - The Lowberth capsule opens and you sit up. You suddenly realise that you can't remember your name nor why you're in the...

Cool! I'd like to see pictures if you get around to building the models. And finally, a use for MountainDew, or the packaging, anyway :twisted:

I wanted to keep my campaign located near the Spinward March so I could easily use 'Official' interesting gear and minor races. My friend suggested locating my sector on a spur leading off the galactic plane in either the z or -z direction ie 'up' or 'down' from the existing subsector maps. So...

The only discussion of how the Moot works that I know of is in the T4 Mileau 0 book and the implication there is that the Moot's remaining power is the confirmation of a new Emperor. The Imperium, per se, only rules the space between the planets. So there shouldn't be a whole pile of law to...

Sounds good to me :D For one of my player's Noble character, I actually worked up a full family tree going back several generations and spreading out to second and third cousins. This actually created a cluster of minor estates (like some of those little German principalities prior to Bismark...

Hmm, doesn't really have much on what the original poster asked about, ie how the SOC of the kiddies was handled. It looks a bit like "Houserule time", or "Accepted useage in this sector is ..." My feeling would lean toward giving the kids the SOC of any courtesy title, and any left-overs are...

Illegit child has Soc of mother and probably no title (though the English Royals did occasionally bestow a minor title on an illegitimate child. There appear to be several ways of handling titles for legitimate children - one style is that all the children of the Count have the title "Count" ie...

The Space Corsair site http://www.spacecorsair.com/wordgen.html has a multi-language word generator, including Aslan, Vargr, Darrian, Sword Worlder, Zhodani, Vilani and a couple of minor races. It is a great aid and everyone should have the link in their tool kit
