I would be intrested in an Exploration / Survey / Patrol type game. Where the plot and action goes somewhere.?! The clasic sandbox type online games never seem to get anywhere. At least the ones I have been in... :|

Triple turret ( Fixed Mounting ) TL 9, cost 0.5MCr. 1 DTon fire control 3 Missile Racks ( Auto-Loader*, Eazy to Repair ) TL 9, cost 3 X .75 = 2.25 MCr. *The Auto-Loader is a double upgrade. That feeds ammunition from an adjacent magazine. It lowers the racks ammunition load to "one in the...

In CT Reloading: ( Which is how it works IMTU ) Each launcher ( sand or missile ) has an inherent capacity for 3 missiles or sandcanisters. When a launcher's ordnance is exhausted. It may be reloaded by the turets gunner in one turn. Reloading 3 launcehrs would take 3 turns. A gunner engaged...

I use many types of Character building rules. Depending on what I am doing. From point buy to random draft, forced enlistment and blends. It all depentds on the game and players. I am very open to what the players want to play and try to work with them. The last game I ran was at the end of the...

You used to be able to role for "Special" on the old CT, Psionic Taents table. I used that to make some "Runetouched" abilities for a PC once. Never went so far as to have spells or primitive magic. Most of the "magic" in MTU is just high TL tricks. 8)

If some upstart shiping line from the Regina sub-sector. Where to try and undercut the Tukera subsidiary Akerut. In the Aramis subector whith say jump 3 Cargo Carrier's. That might just start a Trade WAR!? :mrgreen:

The first pined thread is for the new - Free Epic Campaign - The Pirates of Drinax It has a sub-sector map in it, covering part 1. Has some intresting ideas, you could use for a Firefly feel. It is set in the Boarder area between the 3I and the Aslan. Then there is the Traveller Developer's...

Remember Traveller is mostly a 2D6 game system. Try not to let to may skills get to level 3 or higher. You get a bunch of 0 level skills to help round things out. You can allso hand out extra skill levels. If the players are under skilled for what is to come. By haveing the bar fight that...

http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/signsnportentsarchive This is the Signs & Portents Archive. The Traveller Signs and Portents Index. Is the 6th pined thread on this sub-forum. There is a lot of good stuff out there to use. Poke around a bit. Annic Nova in S&P 93 is an ok derelict starship...

In MTU the Imperial Navy gets whatever they want and can budget for. The Subsector Navies do most of the grunt work of patrol and showing the flag. They get 2nd or 3nd line ships, with a sprinking of state of the art C&C ships for fleet movement. The Planetary Navies are mostly SDB and short...

Well someone has to pay. To keep a ship flying is not cheep. There are ways to chang that. Go to work for someone is will pay for it. If one of your players is a scout. An old Scout ship is a good option. But there are subsidized ships and old 3rd and 4th hand ships. That only cost 30% of the...

I would only spin part of the ship, in a "Lifesupport ring". A la, 2001 A Space Odysey. Right H.A.L.L.? Yes Dave. Then you can stick any small craft and cargo pods you want. In docking clamps of some type. Around the non-roating part of the ship.

If you can find the old Avalon Hill Boxed set : Elder Secrets I would jump on that. Trollpak boxed set from Chaosium is allso good.

The Arroin sub cult is the simplest way. To let males join Chalana Arroy. If you want it to be a female only cult. Rune Lord of Chalana Arroy = Healer of Arroin Warning! A Healer of Arroin. Makes a dangerous Hero Quester. As they attract the emptiness of Chaos to them. When trying to heal...

RuneQuest II has been one of the best versions of BRP. Since Apple Lane and Chaosium - Runequest. While I mosty am a 3rd Age guy. I have been happy for those who love the 2rd age, geting their turn at the plate. Good luck with your next projects...
