OOC
Okay, we have a few players and a few more characters. Thanks for migrating to this game. I am quite new to the traveller game system. I can't believe it has never been on my radar to play, but most of my gaming days have been D&D oriented. I enjoyed playing table top star frontiers back in the day, and just never ran across Traveller. So, a little about me. I have been involved in some fashion with D&D since my teenage years in the eighties. Lots of table top fun back then. I have been writing off and on in play by post games for a couple of decades. I think I started back in 2001. I host a fantasy game here on RPOL and one of the players got me looking at the traveller game. And here we are.
I must confess, it is a LOT of material and my short term memory will not allow me to learn remember all of it.
My condolences to you for the loss of a friend in the gaming community. It happens. It has happened to me on more than one occasion, as I tend to lean toward the more mature (older) GMs. Im 55 years old, married, and work as an instrumentation electrician or controls engineer here in the heartland of Indiana. Yes, a hoosier... well, an immigrant hoosier. I was born and raised in the deep south.
Anyway, a couple of questions for this game migration. Is there a story line currently being played? If so, do we cut it short, sum it up with a time slip, and start on something fresh? Did the author of the last game have a storyline synopsis I could read. A history? Was he playing from a published adventure? Do you want to migrate the story to here in a story arc thread?
I do not have a campaign storyline in place yet. I am still reading material and getting familiar with terms, races, the galaxy, and game play.
Anyway, well met friends and happy gaming!
