I am pretty sure raikenclw & Chuck are down with it, Mighty Darci would be the only potential question mark. If you need another player erisred I am game, just hit me up once you hear back from the others. Will do!

erisred, I have searched high and low and I cannot find my list of possessions. We did do that didn't we?

I just sent an e-mail letting Chuck know erisred is running this PbP again and that both Mighty Darci & raikenclw are on board to play. Hopefully he'll login & let everyone know if he is still game or not (he seemed to be in his last few posts). [ Update: I forgot to mention who i was referring to, so I added Chuck to the above. Doh!]

erisred , I have searched high and low and I cannot find my list of possessions. We did do that didn't we? It's in Cast of Characters in the Library Sub-Forum. Other than a shotgun and broadsword, though, Raven doesn't have anything listed. IOW's no, no one has really done a list of possessions. What I was/am going to do is let you discover you have equipment you need as you discover you need it...for now. I won't continue that indefinitely, but I was doing this from the beginning and expected to continue for the first couple of systems you pass through to give everyone a chance to think about and pick up items they found they needed as they went. I'll deduct the cost of equipment from your cash as we go. So, what does Raven need in this situation? Keep in mind that, although, Elanti is 0 Law you are unlikely to have any firearms on you at the moment. You were 'checked' at the front door to this casino. A few weapons from your party are stowed there at the moment, too.

Do I have my Broadsword or at least a couple of knives?

Do I have my Broadsword or at least a couple of knives? You have your broadsword, but not with you. If you wore it from the ship, it would have been 'checked' at the door of the casino. You can have a choice of" steel knife (~4" blade/8" length 10cr 1d6), dagger (~6" blade/10" length 10cr 1d6) or blade (~8" blade/12" length 50cr 2d6). Add 20 cr to each for ceramic and 50 cr to each for covert/undetectable material. You could have a Stun Gun on your person, but only if it is a disguised...let's say as a smartphone.... for 30 cr. It has to make contact with the opponent's skin and holds 20 seconds worth of charge. Making continuous contact with a human sized character's skin results in: 1 sec contact repel (1 point damage) 2 sec contact lose grip/daze 2 rounds (4 points damage) 3 sec contact lose balance/fall/daze 4 rounds (6 points damage) 5 sec contact unconsciousness (2 characteristic reduced to 0) 8 sec contact kills!

I will take two 4" blades for covert/undetectable material and two Stun guns (only one of which would be with me) and a couple of spare batteries, neither of which would be with me). Also do you have a specific equipment list that you want us to work off of?

Hi All,
Yes, I’m still up for the game. Gil is cooling his heels at the ship so sing out if he needs to bring the cavalry. ;-)

Also do you have a specific equipment list that you want us to work off of? Okay, equipment approved. I've been using Cepheus Engine and the equipment from the Traveller Book, up to this point, but I'm always open to suggestions. I'm seriously thinking about settling on the Cepheus Engine SRD for everything (with house rules and add on's, like the stun gun and the enhanced knives) because it is very CT compatible and in print/pdf for a low expenditure. It's "Pay What You Want" on drivethrurpg.com, so free if you want it to be. Eris

it is a disguised...let's say as a smartphone.... Just curious: Is it an actual working smartphone, in addition to being a stun gun? I suggest the answer to be "Yes," just in case some alert guard at a checkpoint asks her to make a call on it . . .

OOC: If you goggle stun gun smartphone you'll find there are fake phones that are really stun guns as well as smartphone cases that double as stun guns. A Personal Communicator (ie. Smartphone) is 250 cr, so tack on an extra 30 cr to turn it into a combination Smartphone/Stungun and Bob's your uncle!

Okay, the only folks who have responded are:
Chuck/Gilroy Raikenclw/Peng Raven/Mighty Darci
I think we might be in need of some more players, or do you want me to wait a bit to see if any of our former crew mates respond before I start advertising?

I don't even know which game this thread belongs to... The three PCs erisred mentioned above are the only ones who've made much of an appearance in play so far. The rest of the crew are mostly just names, so new players would be totally able to personalize these however they wish. Peng Silva is my PC. He's my avatar pic and he's also detailed in my post signature, with the exception that since play began he's pretty much been a horn dog . . . although this has mostly manifested as internal thoughts rather than overt actions. These thoughts have largely been directed towards Mighty Darci's PC Raven. She seems to be okay with this. The player that is, not the PC; Raven routinely shuts Peng down hard, which has yet to dissuade him to any perceptible degree.

I am willing, as I was playing in Makofan's Traveller game until he ended it shortly after it restarted. I still have a Traveller itch to scratch. I'm pretty sure we can scratch your Traveller itch here. Exploring Mantan is pretty self-explanatory. The PC's are crew of a merchant ship that has been chartered to transport a group of corporate factors to several systems along a star-main in the mostly unexplored Mantan Subsector. Once the passengers are delivered, the ship and its crew are free to continue to explore and trade. Your Patrons are paying your expenses on this trip which is good because on the way out to the Mantan system the ship only has 80 dtons of free cargo space as the rest is taken up by their passenger's cargo and goods. The same for staterooms, they are all booked for the corporate group. The ship is owned by John Blackjack Miller and he does have partners. Thazar De Vrass owns 20% of the ship and Raven Firestorm owns 10%. The ship's crew: - John Blackjack Miller (NPC) is a Jack of All Trades, but mainly covers Engineering.
- Raven Firestorm (PC) is the ship's Captain, Navigator and Co-Pilot.
- Thazar De Vrass (ABSENT) is the ship's Pilot and backup Navigator. [kezran disappeared...he's gone!]
- Doctor Wade Vargas (ABSENT) is the ship's doctor.
- Cyril Asinner (ABSENT) is the ship's Steward. [Oscar was on the forum not that long ago]
- Peng Silva (PC) is ship's gunner and a bridge backup
- Gilroy McGonagall (PC) is the other gunner and backup on bridge and in engineering
There are also a number of NPC's in the Delgado Trading party, but they'll be leaving the ship as it travels along, so they aren't really a good bet for PC's. The PC's ship is The Clear Sails, a 400 dton Armed Merchant. As a joke Blackjack refers to it as the Clear Sails from time to time, but as Sails/Sales are pronounced the same it's only a joke to him. You can read up on all this and in the Library sub-forum. Clearly we could use another player to two! Ebon Hearted Soul, if you have access to any version of Traveller (or the Cepheus Engine) you could roll up a PC and I'll fit you in. OTOH, if you'd like to take over a almost never used PC...Thazar De Vrass...that would be cool, too! If you are interested in Thazar you'll need to jump right into the action right now as Blackjack, Raven, Peng, Thazar, Cyril and Baltus (Delgdo guy) are about to take a dangerous walk from Leroy's Bar & Casino back to their ship and somebody might try to bushwack them on the way. I'm not really giving anything away by telling you this, as *everyone* fully expects it to happen anyway. Eris

I'll go over the info in the library and get back to you on what I'll do. Though I'd prefer to make my own character but I'll go over Thazar just in case.

Post by Hexenritter Verlag on Aug 11, 2018 9:47:36 GMT -5
I sent messages to Carlos, Kezran & Oscar to see if they are still interested in playing though since Kezran only posted 5 times I am not holding out hope for him. I'll begin working on my character now, but if Kezran does not message back or login and notify you erisred I'd be okay running Thazar as well but not in place of my own character, as if I do I want my own personal character to be my primary. If that is not okay lets just keep Thazar as a NPC.

I AM going to continue posting I don't want the game to stall...again. So far so good. Two days in Iceland down, two in Denmark so far. Tomorrow I get to do the country hopping game between Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Russia, and Germany before heading back to Denmark and then home. Observations so far: * Iceland has the best lamb, hands down. Great sticky rye bread and butter too! * Denmark has great pastries and the chefs know how to properly prepare a steak. And now off to one more "business" dinner before shoving off for Sweden tomorrow...

My character is a Barbarian (if they survive that is) I have a question erisred since the character is a barbarian can the character start at age 14-16 yo, since in such societies training would've began earlier in life in order to survive? From Traveller Characters & Combat Book 1 I won't calculate age until I get an answer to the question, the character mustered out after 3 terms (age would between 26-30 yo). Also I have access to the CT Equipment Library app, some of the equipment is not in the core CT book & Book 4 CotI, is the equipment not covered in those books available? If not, i'll modify my equipment to be compliant.
