Topic: chat game char info & QnA
Subject: Tuesdays :/


Hey guys and gals...

I have to apologize for missing this week's game again... And I have to let you all know that due to RL I don't know if I will be able to continue on Tuesday evenings. I still want to RP, and am hoping to be able find the time along with everyone else.

Subject: Recruitment


So as Kaeroku stated he... or more specifically Logan Strider is the one who recruited you off world...

I'll give more info later, but this is going to start before being on the ship... You will go through a mission briefing (I have a package prepared) Then we will get to the ship.

Let me know if you's want to RP the briefing, or just go through it in the Q&A, or what.

Edit: By not RPing the briefing, we will get into the game proper faster.

Subject: Where to start... Where to start?


Do you's want to RP the initial meeting between all of you, or would you rather that you's have all met and are on the ship?

Also I would like to know about connections between characters (if any).

Then I can post and we will be good to start
Also I still need the characters from everyone.

Subject: Getting everything ready


At this point I would appreciate if you could all think up and agree upon a ship name.

I'm working up the rest of the info I need now, and should be able to post in a day or two to be able to get the game rolling.

Edit: And if everyone could send me a copy of their full character sheets, I would be very much appreciated.

Subject: GM


If everyone is alright with me being GM... With a minor change I can make everything work

The change I would like to make:
-a slightly different (larger) ship


Also given that I would not be playing a character I would like to recruit another person...

Thoughts everyone?

Although appropriate to the character I believe to take it with us, it would take up at least half of the cargo space on the ship...

So my vote is to drop it... Or perhaps if it's alright with Al rent it out to someone on your home world and have an income from it.

It sounds a lot like the advanced base from the classic traveller, and it weighed in at 6 dTons.

But I think there is an advanced base in this version of traveller too so IDK.

I seen that your character has a 'habitat module' Just out of curiosity do you know the weight of that? I've been trying to look it up but haven't been able to find anything. (The reason I ask it just that we have VERY limited cargo space on the ship...

And I like you background personally

I would think that the Connections guy would be a good choice to go with.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to have some more connections throughout the galaxy to be able to pick up jobs.

...And as for skills not being covered... Though I don't have any ranks in the skills I'm proficient in everything. (Jack-of-all-Trades 3)

I was looking over Satine Jordan's profile...
One of the skills I'm curious about
-Sp: ADP Jump 3
With it being 'jump 3' I'm guessing that it is the antimatter jump drive specialty.
But what does the ADP stand for?

@kaeroku For your engineer skill you have to chose either Jump drive, or Maneuver drive...

Background and History
D'Len McCallum was born to M’Lan (father), and Sval’T (mother) McCallum on a fairly standard High Technology Imperial world.

D’Len’s home world was a central hub for the trade lanes and because of that people from all over the sector were coming and going. D’Len was always trying to learn more of the Imperium so he learned at a young age a smattering of many languages and the proper use of comms.

D’Len excelled at school, but wasn’t happy with the confining nature of a crowded planet. As soon as he turned 18, he left his parents, taking the shuttle across the high port looking for work.
There was a free trader looking for a new worker, and D’Len signed on.

He thought he had signed on to the wrong crew though when his captain came under the scrutiny of the Imperial police. The entire crew were up on charges of smuggling. D’Len did some investigating though and found the evidence clearing their names. Were it not for D’Len’s investigative work they all would have been sent to prison.

Upon gaining rank at the end of his first term D’Len signed on for a second term of service.

The crew was having a run of especially good luck, and the captain was of the mind that their luck was going to change for the worse and soon. D’Len didn’t think so. So the crew got together and made some bets as to how their luck would run. D’Len was one of the ones who came out on top. At the end of that term the captain owed D’Len a few extra benefits.

When the end of the term came D’Len decided he wanted to do less trading and see more of the Galaxy. So when they reached a port with a Scout base he signed off the crew and signed up with the IISS.

The IISS recruiter felt that the Courier service was the best fit with D’Len because he would captain his own ship and be able to see as much of the known galaxy as possible.
In his first term working as a courier he was sent to deliver messages to some of the alien races along the Imperium border. While delivering these messages D’Len found out about Alien troop movements, and plans to annex a few Imperial worlds. Needless to say the Captain of the Imperial Cruiser in charge of defending this sector was quite happy to have this knowledge.

D’Len continued to serve with the IISS, and his travels sent him to the fringe. Fearing that he would be kept on the fringe D’Len was going to muster out of the Scout service, but there had been a major shakeup in the IISS and they were short in couriers. When he went to hand in his resignation it was refused. He was promoted and sent back to work.

Because of the shortage in scout agents there were some department intermixing, and D’Len wasn’t exempt from that. He was sent to do a planetary survey on an alien world. Though a little out of his area of expertise he enjoyed the work and gained some proficiency in riding animals.

Finally after completing his 12th year of service with the IISS and due to the extensive recruiting campaign he was able to retire. Before retiring D’Len received a final promotion for his dutiful and extensive service with the IISS.

If I play my above mentioned character (though I can handle a gun) I wouldn't so much be a fighter... Definitely more of a spacer.

Subject: leader?


Well the one character I have made up was in both the merchants and the scouts, and would make a good 'captain' of a ship in having all the necessary skills to run a ship.

And that being said if I play that character I would be willing to be a leader.
