Traveller type previous experience

[Puck]

I have been messing with traveller-like previous experience charts for runequest. I designed them to be used place of the advanced characters section on pp. 103 and 104 of the basic runequest book. The charts could also be used in place of the 100 free experience points each character gains. They are pretty rough and could really use some rigorous editing/ playtesting but as a whole seem to be good fun and make interesting characters.

By the way characters cannot die in the process, but can get cut up a little, loose characteristic points or make influential enemies.

If anyone is interested please PM me and I will send you the draft.


I tried to put a little example here but the charts did not maintain their integrity in the warp....horrible mess...looked like they got shuffled through a chaotic feature chart.

Can I suggest that you let Magistus have a look at them and they go up on the Wiki for everyone to look at?

:idea:

Depends what Puck wants to do with them. The wiki is pretty much open content/freely available, so if the tables are for a PDF product then it's not a good place, otherwise it's a good idea to put it up there.

I would love to see them on the wiki. I was not sure of the process or proper protocall. They may be a little rough as to properly playtest them would require rolling up a hundred characters or so. They are meant to be used with heavy DM influence and adjustment. Anyway I will attempt to get them in the wiki presently (never done that before). Thanks.

After rolling a couple of fumbles on my lore (wiki) skill I have the file there. It is not linked to any chapters though as I am not sure how to accomplish that. If anyone who has a Mastery level skill in lore(wiki)can help I would appreciate it.

I will take the text and make it a wiki page for you.

It's up, I will edit it to fix the wiki code later.

Thank you for the offer magistus. I think I may have got it. If I am correct it should be here:

I can't figure out how to change the comment section which I somehow goofed up originally but I think the file itself is good to go.

Intersting approach - Is the second file just a .doc version of the original?

Woops. No, I just did not see Magistus' post that he had already got the file up. We must have been working on it at the same time. I do appreciate the help either way. I have never posted on a wiki before so was a little ham-fisted.

Edited: Holy Smokes you are right halfbat :shock: Magistus must have put the whole file into the wiki format. I tried to do this originally but it looked like a chaos spirit had possessed my computer; the charts were all over the place. Thanks for the work Magistus, I appriciate it :!:
