pbp traveller game
- Thread starter dez-1
- Start date
Well, I will need a few people to play it, probably a crew so about 5 people. we can play it by post or instant messanger. Character sheets will be made by the players. I will game master unless anyone else desperatly wants to. Instant messenger would by the better option as I will be able to roll the dice there and then without waiting for a reply. If you want my address for this i will send you a private message.

Its just that it will be a little harder for players not in britain, plus for the dice rolling there could be a long peroid before there will be a post. we can all deicide what game we want to play before character creation so all we need to do is gather players and think on how to play it.

I run several Pbp's (one on here). The gap between posting and rolling, it's really not that bad. You just have to trust your players to know what to roll, or get used to the slow pace of the game.
I would be pretty interested in a trading/ small ship sort of game... that or a mercenary commander type of game, where we build, run and command a mercenary unit...
I'm pretty easy though. But as I say, I cant do IM games, just PBP...

Sounds interesting I did play in a game involving Gmail where we had a group file folder for the Text, pictures etc.. I'm in the states. And I'm interested in learning more about Mongoose Traveller.
So what type of game?

Well it will be a choice for the players. I can do a sandbox game mixed with everything, or a trading one. preferebly i would like to do a bit of everything. The minimum players would probably 3. Tell me if you are, set up a character sheet send me background story or if you have created your own ship, send me design and picture if availble.
If you a good forum to do this on, let me know. Meet you in the third imperium

Just do it on here 
It's local, and it's good. You just need to message MSPrange or whatever his name is.
I'll send in a character sheet shortly (later today). I think the ship depends on the type of game.
Also, I have to warn you that I knoe only a little about the 3I, i mainly work in created settings...
Also... I think dilletante may be my choice of character

Very good. I haven't really ST the game that much but I have been dying to play it again. I have read it back to front so you are in good hands. I will wait for thier reply.
Also, if you have any mates who want to to this you can invite them now while we are gathering players. Remember, not too many!

Ill toss my hat in the ring as well. Games where I normally play are slow at the moment, and I can always jump into a new game now and then. I have a rather dedicated character that I would prefer to play; I rolled her up a long time ago and she's been regenerated in Mongoose as well. I'll PM her to you later today.

no shares, but awesome pilot skills and former Imperial Officer. Can fly just about anything. you would have liked her in command on one of your other games.
Prefer trade ship but sometimes that doesn't lend too well to plot hooks as we can always just leave system and go elsewhere.

Oh I love a trade ship. I'm thinking about playing my char as... well, have you ever read Elizabeth Moon's Vatta's war books...
Young, an eye for profit and a nose for deals
This sounds like it could be good...
Hmm, shall we design our own and have it built, or do any of the pre-built ships appeal?

Back in the '80s, I had a custom designed 600t Subsidized Merchant that had some interesting (at least to me) additions. Eventually, she got upgraded to 1200t with heavy weapons installed. Good for fighting off (or chasing after) pirates.

As I am a little too creative I love creating my own ships. I would reccomend you too, but if you want in the action straight away then fee free to pick a pre built one.
if you do, send me its details and possibly an image from the internet of its likeness. you dont have to but its what i normally do. If you want a ship design sheet i can send you a file.
once everyone is ready and character sheets are in, we shall start. Any other suggestions on the campaign let me know.

I'm good with a home built ship. here is what I am thinking:
600 tons
Jump-2
Thrust-1
Double up on staterooms
No armour (I don't see a point... maybe 2 points as a limit)
2 turret maximum, Point defence only, unless someone else has an idea.
some passenger capacity
Fuel processors... maybe? enough to refuel quickly if any...
what do people think?
