As an update to this thread, I'm running the adventure now, and the next session sees the first time the Stress Index comes into play, so I'll keep you posted on how my fix to it turns out. The Travellers have taken on half a dozen rather underwhelmed passengers for a trip that will last two...

Good morning chief, this is fantastic. I don't know if it's me opening the sheet in LibreOffice (it shouldn't be) but I can't click on the quantity or tons cells for Fuel/Cargo Container on Sheet 4- Fuel, like they're locked. I can fill in Collapsible and Demountable, but it's the Fuel/Cargo...

Well the ironic reality is that Kit was only Captain Mongo's hired pilot at that point, and it was Mongo that Rao wanted to sign up as a ferocious pirate...

Kit Kimble likes to believe that Rao employed him on the basis of his success in the reality show Real Privateers Of The Spaceways - always good to have a handsome face fronting your campaign, eh?

This is an excellent idea for a whole bunch of scenarios."Why don't you calm down and take stress pill, Dave?" The counselor program becomes the crew's worst enemy....

i mean, i'm not sure how the characters will turn out, but the players i have in mind definitely need a ship's counsellor... :P

Cheers, all. I appreciate the differences in scale and I can see how the Fatigue Index evolved from the Stress Check. I think Vormaerin has it right that Stress is incomplete in the adventure. My errata for that would be to run Stress check as an Easy (2+) END check with Stress Index as a...

I'm considering running Islands In The Rift for a crew fresh to Traveller - I know it isn't one of the standard introductory scenarios, but it does have a broad scope for travel, trade, and shenanigans at the same time as being limited to two subsectors and thereby not being too overwhelming...

Our heist went somewhat differently. First, we fixed the Martin II's engines, and ingratiated ourselves with the crew. Then, under cover of friendship, we swapped out the jump coordinates and suborned the astrogator. The Martin gained a couple of passengers, "disillusioned" by Kit Kimble's...

There's a lot of scope for diplomatic adventuring as well as anti-piracy (and Kit Kimble's anti-anti-piracy). That's the beauty of the sandbox.

Kit Kimble, meanwhile, is a former "reality show" privateer (Real Privateers of the Spaceways, on Channel 6b, series 1 only) who got the push and fell on hard times before being hired (without a contract or pay) as replacement pilot by Captain Mongo, after her original crew had got themselves...

By "luring females" you mean "encouraging women to play Traveller"? :) To be open, our group is 50/50 split. My personal opinion is that focusing on the roleplay aspects as opposed to dice roll mechanics makes the game far more approachable. Make it a social thing, just as the character...

Hola, On page 19 of the Deepnight Campaign Guide, it reads: Every 2D hours, the Traveller must make a Difficult (6+) END check. Should that be a Difficult (10+) END check? Or a Routine (6+) END check? Because there's quite a difference in effect... :)

Fantastic stuff! Do you have any plans for the range of Traveller fiction? (Like, do you want any? I'm asking for a friend...)
