Re: Chargen (OOC)
We had Eclipse. Sorry for the late response. Between work and the holiday season, been busy IRL. I can only assume others have been as well as everyone's been quiet too.

Re: Chargen (OOC)
I just want to be clear here, roll 8 2d6 rolls for attributes and use 6 of them in any order? Also want to clarify MgT 1e or 2e? Oops, my finger must have been on auto-pilot. I meant 6 rolls of 2d6 and assign them however you wish in any order to the 6 characteristics. Technically 2nd ed. MgT, thou...

Re: Calm before the Storm - A Mongoose Traveller campaign
Thank you for expressions of interest. Sadly due to RL work and relationship issues, the original captain and co-pilot players have informed me they are likely not available to play any more. So 2 more spots have opened up. If there are any people interested, they can use the pre-made characters the...

*sigh*
Still open for any interested players to fill the position of a starship engineer. Last two applicants did not make it out of chargen before dropping out.

Re: Calm before the Storm - A Mongoose Traveller campaign
If you want to join, you can. RL and the holiday season has meant so far only 1 of the 3 other players has registered, though chargen is done for all 3 and editing is being done on their character backgrounds via PM elsewhere. I am taking the time to interweave and integrate everyone's character bac...

Re: Calm before the Storm - A Mongoose Traveller campaign
1115, eh? Rebellion timeline? I'm reffing a CT game here in that era, in Reavers Deep. Where my campaign timeline goes is not determined and may (and likely will) diverge from the canonical timeline.
