How to prepare

A working microphone is required, webcam is optional. Discord is required as well as creating a free account on roll20.net All dice rolled will be virtual dice.

What I provide

The Referee has a set of the Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition hardback rules. The Referee will gift players with a free copy of the Explorer's Edition subset of the Mongoose Traveller rules, purchased from drivethrurpg for player use and perusal at their leisure as a courtesy to each player. The referee will create non-player characters, planetary regional and local maps, lore, and handouts for this game, as befits a vast, detailed Space Opera setting.

Gameplay details

Immersive role-playing will be emphasized, and narrative choices will be given to the players with dice resolution outcomes leading to imaginative story changes. Some metagaming conversation is to be expected as the party narrates dice results, but it is hoped that this does not devolve into arguments with the GM having the final say in case of a situation where players cannot agree on a clear narrative. Combat is fast and easy and relatively simple to adjudicate once the players learn the system (which the GM will teach as we play.) Player characters will go into danger and combat is expected to be uncommon, and deadly, involving both planetary/ground combat and space combat aboard a ship of some type. The combat system is realistic, allowing for light, moderate, and serious injuries. Injuries will affect character skill use and attribute loss directly. Because the narrative supports these characters as mundane spacefarers turned Heroes, it will be uncommon for a player character to die, although characters will be operating under stress, and this will be role-played. There may be occasional puzzles but the main focus will be star-hopping interstellar travel and adventure, as well as skullduggery, intrigue, political machinations, betrayals, gunfights, and characters running for their lives outnumbered, all tropes of the Traveller setting. Players will start with characters with a vast diversity of skill levels and equipment because Traveller is not a level-based system- it's a skill-based system with a life path. Starting characters could be a retired Admiral adventuring alongside a young military Space Marine veteran who has a bionic arm replacement from an injury they sustained on their first combat drop. Players can select from a pool of GM pre-approved pre-generated characters before play, but if a player wishes they can generate a character by participating in session zero or submitting an outline four days before the beginning of the next scheduled scenario to give the GM time to integrate them into the story at hand.

How will character creation work

Characters will begin as generated from the Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition life path system. Players can select from a pool of pre generated characters that are GM approved. Or they can generate a character given 4 days advance notice with an outline to the GM before the start of the next scheduled scenario so that the GM has time to integrate their character and work with the potential player to develop a suitable character and equipment.
