So, since Mongoose is doing 760 Patrons...

[Allensh]

...does that mean that we'll see a book called 10,001 Characters?

Allen

 

[MongooseMatt]

It was on the list - until we calculated how many pages it would need

2,001 characters is likely.

 

[Allensh]

2,001 characters, eh?

Will one of them be named Dave?



Seriously, a book of pre-made NPCs (and a few suitable PC types) will be good at have.

10,001, I picture a book sort of the size of the Yellow Pages from Los Angeles. :lol:

I do admit I like the idea of a book with various NPCs that are already made. I very much like the idea of some of them even has a small background story as well. That has always been something I found useful in the past. Thet is why I am looking forward to the patron book.

2,001?

*gulp*

 

[Greg Smith]

So you've not had the phone call yet?

"Bry, we need 2001 characters by yesterday." :twisted:

 

[-Daniel-]

2,001?

*gulp*

That computer Character Generator is looking good right about now, I would bet. :wink:

:lol:

You're assuming Mongoose don't already have on....... 8)

Not assuming anything. If they have one it will be looking good about then. if not then the idea of creating one would have been looking good. Either way, hearing 2001 would make the Computer Generation Program sound good. :wink:

:lol:

Well if you have 20 versions of each of the 36 character types, plus 10 versions of each multi-career character having thing character type, it gets big pretty quick.

Not to mention the detailed characters that include background and personality and motivation not just stats.

Probably need more than 20 of the military ones though...

 

[area_51_games2]

think about it
ask every one to generate a character and offer it winner get in the book!
and maybe a few credits. . . LOL
OR HOW ABOUT A CONTEST WHERE EVERY ONE CONVERTS Themselves to the character generator system of traveller.
I mean the system would make it more exciting and all , all never mind
no one is interested in a gamer NPC no how- :twisted:

Well, last time I checked on CotI a lot of people there have military experience; and you'll get at least two (if not three) Naval Nuclear Reactor Technicians from there...

real loosly based on me, if I had lived in the traveller universe and era.
