Here is where out of character commentary will go. Stuff like game mechanics or socializing. Feel free to discuss whatever you like.

I wish Bounty Hunter were already out so we could generate characters. It could be out as soon as tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Welcome! Look around and see what you can find.

Give a warm welcome to Ravenspoe as he will be joining us. I game with him in person, as much as one can do over the internet, anyway. Welcome, James!

Welcome Ravenspoe!

Thank you for having me. I have not done play by post since the AD&D 2e days.
Looking forward to playing in another Traveller game. Terry and I have played too many games to mention, it gives us a chance to pull stuff off our shelves.

He's here!

Welcome to our new member! I'm probably the only one that bites but that is because I am playing the Vargr character that this time around.

Dog the Bounty Hunter, for real!

So what kind of game are we looking at everyone? Character styles and such what?

Mongoose says Bounty Hunter will drop next Friday (if I'm understanding correctly that all their new releases happen Friday), so character creation can start then. I'll add the material to the Google drive Friday morning (Central time) in one week. Until then, feel free to talk about character concepts and even start the character creation process if you want to have been something else before being a bounty hunter. Just remember to leave room for a minimum of one term as a bounty hunter at the end.

I'm eager to see what you guys are thinking.

Careful - there are things you just can't "unknow"!

As an initial steer am I right in thinking we don't need to roster out into the traditional roles of a ship's crew?

Ok, I am thinking Rogue for a couple/3 terms, prison, then maybe a term of citizen or something innocuous before bounty hunter.

Smart, not tough, but can fight. some tech, some interpersonal.

And felons can be a bounty hunter in the US at least, if they work under another license. Heck, Dog works under his wifes license I believe.

Prepares brain bleach.

Traditional crew roles are not required, though you may go that route if you so desire.

I'm not sure what Dog does now that his wife has passed, but I believe your understanding to be correct.

This is a perfectly fine character path.

Since we're talking characters here, I deleted the character creation topic to keep things simple.
