About the adventure

These games will be both introductory and advanced games into the fascinating world of Traveller. So wether you are completely new to Traveller or Sci Fi or an old pro, there is something here for you. There is heavy emphasis on Roleplay, but many of the adventures and missions rely on skills like performing checks and procedures. There is also space combat and planetary exploration. The mind has no limits when it comes to sci fi RPGS, and Traveller is the perfect tool to explore the imagination.

Additional Details

How to prepare

A player link to Syrinscape for ambient sounds and music will be provided. ensure you activate and you can set the volume as you see fit. Please have a working microphone and a Discord Channel will be provided, be prepared to be on push-to-talk. Have the demo version of Fantasy Grounds Unity installed and updated on your computer. Dice, character sheets and playing pieces (Tokens) will be available. There is a possibility that the game will be streamed/recorded. Permission from all players will be asked beforehand.

What I provide

I will have FG Unity set up with all the maps, character sheets, tokens, icons, and whatever else may be needed.

Gameplay details

A typical session will last 4 to 6 hours. There will be a lot of encouragement for Role play, but there will be times when combat will not be able to be avoided. A lot of space exploration and ample docking time and planetary adventure spattered throughout. Expect to be working with other players, not lone wolfing or plotting against the party. There will be background music and ambience sounds provided by Syrinscape. I have the Luxom technique in place, ten minute breaks every two hours, and an open door policy. Also possible triggers and sensitive content will be discussed openly before each session.

How will character creation work

Character creation is an adventure in itsself, and in the older versions of traveller you could die in character creation. We will be creating the characters in FG Unity together, so that Contacts, allies and enemies can be worked out beforehand. This makes for stronger RP. for the occasional one shot, Pre rolled characters will be provided so you can jump right into the fun. There are no levels in Traveller per se, but characters are defined by "Terms" each term is a four year commitment to training in their life. Age has an effect on skills and abilities.
