Surely a lot of merchants learned their trade by working as crew for existing merchants?That's /sort of/ a merchant campaign. The players are not the merchants. The players are the crew of a merchant's ship. Yes, they get delegated some of the tasks. But they are not in charge, it's not their money, and they aren't making the the important decisions like where to go.
It's got some nice things you can use, but it's not what we are talking about.
Cluster Truck is the first Mongoose campaign to have caught my attention, simply because I don't like the grand or epic scales in Traveller. So this strategy gets you at least one more potential customer anyway! Any 70's-styles silliness is just a bonus in my book too.Basically, after Singularity we are taking a step back from the epic galaxy-shattering events and focussing more on the big stakes/small people campaigns for a little while.
Yes, but in the game, that's handled by your prior career. Skandersvik, Leviathan, and Last Flight of the Amuar are fine if you want to play "Away Team Adventures" on someone else's merchant ship.Surely a lot of merchants learned their trade by working as crew for existing merchants?
On the cards, certainly - in fact, we are currently looking at two of them, one based in the Marches and the other in the Islands subsectors.

You just aren't reading the right fanfic.BJ and the Bear never saved the President from a secret cabal.
Just saving him from Cain would be enough.I like this. There's something to be said for campaigns that aren't going to change the galaxy, or heck, even the subsector. BJ and the Bear never saved the President from a secret cabal. still fun, though. and let's face it the galaxy is huge enough that you can spend your entire career in one world without running out of things to do.
Funnily enough, we have have another campaign coming up that does exactly this!you can spend your entire career in one world without running out of things to do.
New edition of the old Tarsus box?Funnily enough, we have have another campaign coming up that does exactly this!
That has been something we have floated here, actually, but this is another re-imagining...New edition of the old Tarsus box?
Hmm, then maybe Beltstrike or Prison Planet?That has been something we have floated here, actually, but this is another re-imagining...

You could easily turn Prison Planet into a full campaign, but I would be surprised if that was popular enough a subject to do so. Beltstrike is certainly a single system, but I am not certain I'd call that a single world campaign. I suppose you could call an Asteroid Belt a single world.Hmm, then maybe Beltstrike or Prison Planet?
My own home campaign has spent its entire 5 month (realtime) run to date in the same system. The players do have a J1 ship but have only used it to follow up on work and follow story arcs within the system they are all from. Despite me giving them opportunities and story arcs outside of the system they so far havent followed up on any of them.Funnily enough, we have have another campaign coming up that does exactly this!
