As soon as we have some players, we'll begin with character creation.

The first thing you will need to do is to generate and assign your attributes. Every Traveller character has six attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Endurance, Intelligence, Education, and Social Standing. These characteristics range from 2 to 12, generated by rolling 2 six-sided dice for each attribute and assigning them as desired. In general, a well-rounded character is desired in order to ensure the best chance of survival, training, and development. You can find a list of the careers here.
May 3, 2021 4:30 pm
To clarify that that's not a typo:
"Roll 2 six-sided dice twice for each attribute and assigning them as desired." That means we're rolling twelve sets of 2d6 and taking whichever rolls we want?

Oops. No, you're right. That's what I get for typing in a hurry. It should be, "roll 2 six-sided dice for each attribute and assign them as desired." I have corrected it on the front page. Thank you for asking.

Thanks WhtKnt!
Assuming that we're to roll in this thread... here goes nothing...
Edit: Well. That's mediocre. And I apparently can't count.

A quick word about the mechanics of Traveller:
Couldn't be much simpler. You roll two dice and add or subtract any DMs (dice modifiers; such as your skill rating). If you roll the target number (usually 8) or higher, you succeed. When using a skill, you add your level in that skill to the roll. Thus, if Jackson has a rating of 2 in Pilot (Small Craft) and the Referee tells him that his target number is 10+, he needs to roll an 8 or higher (adding 2 to the final result for his skill) in order to succeed. If you lack a skill, you have a DM of -3. Note that it is possible to have a skill rating of 0, which simply means that you are proficient in the skill without having any particular ability for it. Your DM is 0. So you see that it can be useful to have "just a 0" in a skill.
Typical Dice Modifiers for skills are: Simple tasks have a difficulty DM of +6. Easy tasks have a DM of +4. Routine tasks have a difficulty DM of +2. Average tasks have a difficulty DM of +0. Difficult tasks have a difficulty DM of -2. Very difficult tasks have a DM of -4. Formidable tasks have a difficulty DM of -6.
The most coveted (and difficult to achieve) skill is Jack-of-All-Trades because this skill allows you to reduce by 1 the penalty for being unskilled by 1 for every level of the skill you possess. So, if you somehow got a Jack-of-All-Trades rating of 3 (not impossible), you would roll with a DM of 0 for untrained skills!
Sometimes, instead of a static Target Number, you will make an opposed check. In this case, both parties roll a check, and whoever has the highest roll wins.
Edit: Almost forgot! You get DMs for your attributes as well: 0 = -3, 1-2 = -2, 3-5 = -1, 6-8 = +0, 9-11 = +1, 12-14 = +2, 15 = +3. Attributes for humans do not exceed 15.
All numbers are in Hexidecimal. When you reach 10, it becomes A, 11 is B, and so on until 15, which is F.

So WhtKnt, if I may ask without spoilers, what kind of challenges and situations will the campaign be focused on? I think you mentioned that a lot of the economic/mercantile side of things will be handwaved or abstracted, so is it useless for any of us to take on the roll of a bargainer?
If that's asking to metagame too much, I understand.

May 4, 2021 8:30 pm
No, not at all. There will be opportunities to make extra money. A broad mix of skills is suggested. While it is true that much of the mercantile side will be handwaved, it is mostly the task of making mail runs and cargo drops in order to keep up payments or keep your fuel in supply; stuff that gets tedious under the best of circumstances. These things will be reserved for plot devices as otherwise, the game becomes: find a cargo, find someone who needs it, deliver cargo, sell cargo, buy more cargo, find someone who needs it, deliver cargo, sell cargo...ad nauseum.
May 5, 2021 3:10 am
Hello, fellow Travellers!
As WhtKnt mentioned, our game will be focused on exploration. Having that in mind, does anyone have a career and/or role already in mind, such as pilot, grunt, doctor, engineer, face, explorer, etc.? I'm open to filling any role that the group needs, except for maybe a "companion" ala Firefly. :)
Okay, warming up the dice roller...
EDIT: Wow, that's pretty average. Let's reroll that 4. Fingers crossed
EDIT #2: That's better! So that's 787965. I'll arrange them once we figure out what careers we're all going after.

Steve, it sounds like you've played before! I have not, so i only vaguely know what we'll need for roles. That said I'm pretty much down for anything. Pilot/Doctor/Engineer sound the most appealing to me though.
May 5, 2021 5:11 pm
I think I'll try my luck at a military career, either Navy or Marine. Gonna try to enter military academy first
May 5, 2021 5:52 pm
Okay, the way that Traveller works is that you will choose a career that you will attempt to enter. If you make it, you continue in that career until you are forced out or decide to leave of your own volition. You may then either attempt to enter another career or begin play. If you fail to enter your chosen career field, you may try another or submit to the draft, in which case you will randomly determine which service you enter.
Quite often (as in real life), your career will not go the way that you planned and you will have to take another option. Such is part of the fun of Traveller. In the original Traveller, it used to be that getting ejected from a career often meant death. Mongoose softened that blow somewhat (but you can still suffer serious injury).
After you have all been through your careers, we will be picking from a list of extra skills appropriate to the genre, just to ensure that your group isn't completely crippled (in case no one becomes a pilot, for example, Pilot will appear on the skill list).
Unlike a lot of games, where you begin as a rank amateur, in Traveller, you have already lived part of your life. What age you begin at is up to you (determined by how many terms you take). The more terms you take, the more skills (and the more benefits) you can earn, but... if you remain in the workforce too long, you stand a risk of losing physical attributes due to ageing (and of course, there is always the possibility of injury). You decide how much risk you wish to take.
As a matter of practicality, I recommend that no one go over six terms in any one career. Each term is four years long, and ageing rolls begin at age 34 (your character begins at 18 years of age). Staying in for more than six terms really stretches believability (a two-star general has decided to leave retirement and go adventuring?).

On Aliens
If anyone desires such, there are two alien races that you can play; the Vargr and the Aslan.
Aslan
The Aslan are the youngest of the great powers, an expansionist race of feuding clans and predatory warriors, eager to seize all the universe has to offer. Aslan are descended from four-limbed carnivorous pouncer stock which was originally near the top of the food chain in the forests of their homeworld, Kusyu. True to their pouncer ancestry, Aslan are capable of short bursts of speed somewhat greater than that manageable by humans. They also have slightly superior hearing and night vision. Otherwise, they are one of the most human-like of all alien races, excepting, of course, the Vargr (who are, after all, genetically altered mammalian stock originally from Earth).
Early Terran explorers regarded the Aslan as ‘lion-like', and the simile has stuck ever since, although the Aslan bear only a passing resemblance to terrestrial lions. Nonetheless, this early misnomer has influenced a great deal of human thinking about the Aslan, including terminology (the use of pride to translate ahriy, for instance) and ascribed behaviour – which is not at all leonine.
Vargr
The Vargr are the only major race to have been uplifted by the Ancients, a fact that the Vargr are extremely proud of. They are typically seen by other races as aggressive pirates and scavengers but the Vargr actually have a diverse culture that is deeply rooted in their pack mentality and the desire for companionship, charisma and loyalty. Their constant struggle for charisma and leadership results in a culture fuelled by conflict and change.
The Vargr are descended from carnivore/chaser stock; genetically engineered by the Ancients circa –300,000 from the genus Canis. The carnivores were transplanted from Terra to Lair/Grnouf in the Provence sector. The Vargr bear a close resemblance to their canine ancestry, as can be seen by their muzzle, tail and fur, though several anatomical modifications were made by the Ancients to the canine body structure. Vargr adopt a digitigrade stance (putting their weight on their toes rather than the soles of their feet) and many have a slight stoop.

Remember that a 0 in a skill represents that you are trained and have proficiency in that skill.
You also need to consider the route that you are going to attempt: either a career, university, a military academy, or the Draft.

May 6, 2021 5:11 pm
A 0-level skill is just that. Specialization doesn't begin until you reach level 1 in a skill. I have edited and expanded the skill list available. Ordinarily, you would randomly create your homeworld (or choose from a list I provide) and that would determine some of your skills, but I decided not to burden you guys with that. Also, different SRDs offer different skills available as background skills, but I think I have them all consolidated now.

From childhood on she wanted nothing more than to be a space marine. Unfortunatly though her inspiration for becoming a space marine mainly comes from the many books she read. She never really physically prepared herself for the career and as she looked at the application requirements for the military acadamies' space marine branch she knew that she probably wouldn't make it. So she chooses to apply to the second best option: the navy
Apparently reading novels about daring space marines isn't the best preparation for the military academy. She should've tried to read more technical books but so her answer to the question what the main characteristic of the SFPP-261 fusion reactor is was: It goes boom when you hit it with a rifle

Born as the youngest son of a Minor noble on the planet of Darluge, Aleksis' childhood was one of luxury and impossible expectations. At-least for Aleksis to meet. Doing average in school, even with the help of a squad of private teachers, he was never the quick learner and avoided study as much as possible. He was quite good in physical exercises, and loved having a good time with friends. While expected to go to the military academy, Aleksis declined, much to the utter disappointment of his father, and went decided to apply for the Marines directly, becoming one of the many hopeful recruits of the Star Marines.

Being a bright and ambitious young Star Marine, he applied for officer status, as befitting of origin. Whether through his family name, his charming personality, influence of his father or just plain luck, they did commission him to officer status, becoming a lieutenant (Leadership - 1).

Anton Perkins
Anton had a pretty dull childhood. Growing up in a mining colony on a airless world means there are almost no opportunities to "go outside and play." Watching the vids was his main escape from boredom. He especially liked the program Dustin Walker: Frontier Explorer, which dramatized the life of a Scout out on the edge of known space. Imagine, flying across the galaxy to the far reaches of space, exploring new worlds! Excitement! Danger! Anton knew exactly what he wanted to do as soon as he could get off this lifeless rock that he was stuck on.

So i'll go with
6/6/6/8/A/4.
With the background skills of
Engineering
Mechanics
Zero-G
Gun
I'm a little confused on how the Career system tables work, though admittedly I haven't had a lot of time to study them yet. Would anyone mind giving me a bit of a walkthrough? I was thinking of trying to go the Technician route, for a few terms.

Edit:
Your second term in the same career does not require a qualification roll.
If you fail on your survival roll, you roll on the mishap table, and exit the career (unless the mishap says otherwise).
If you exit a career for whatever reason, you roll for benefits for each term in that career, and an additional amount depending on your final rank:
rank 1+2 => +1 roll
rank 3+4 => +2 rolls
5+6 terms => +3 rolls and +1 to each roll.
University and Military Academy are very similar to normal careers, but you get different benefits. And depending on how well you graduate, may allow you to have an easier time on your next career, if it is in-line with what you just graduated from. I can expand if you want on this ;-).

First term: 18-22
Being rejected by the military academy Sophia was somewhat disillusioned and therefore chose to persue another career path than the military.
When she saw an ad for the "Surveyors of the Galaxy"-company she knew which career to take.
She went to their office and took an entry exam...
[Qualification roll successful]
...which she managed to pass. Sophia Nudanaga - Junior Surveying Assisstant! She was assigned the scout ship "Ever Taken" and flew away to far away worlds. She was last in the corporate ladder and thus always was assigned the most dangerous and menial tasks like cleaning the ship, being lowered into shafts and caves first, keeping the tools in working condition and maneuvering small craft for docking.
Even though those all were not the most exciting tasks she managed to learn a lot
Basic training - Sophia gains the following skills:
Pilot - 0
Mechanic - 0
Astrogation - 0
Vacc Suit - 0
Gun Combat - 0
[Survival roll successful]
Nevertheless she managed to keep herself healthy and had no major accident during her first years of service for the "Surveyors of the Galaxy"
[Event roll result - Roll on the life event table]
[Life event - Birth or Death]
Unfortunatly though her father died due to an unfortunate accident. Her brother inherited the company. He would've offered her a job but Sophia was determined to stay among the stars.
Sophia rolls on the Surveyor skill table and gains the skill:
Electronics - 1
Career advancement skill roll successful. Sophia is Rank 1 scout and gains the skill:
Vac Suit - 1
During her four years she became something of an expert in repairing the sensors of the ship. Half the time onboard the ship she was crawling all over it in her Vac Suit and recalibrated or repaired the sensors.
Due to her great work she was promoted to scout and signed another four year contract to work with the company.

Gambler - 1
Chosen for a secret infiltrate mission, Lieutenant Aleksis Scott led a small team against a Pirate Base. However, the pirates were tipped and the mission is a failure, with most of the team being captured, including Aleksis. After being held and tortured for a month by the enemy, specifically certain cruel Thomas Blunt (Enemy), Aleksis rescued but the pirate base has been evacuated by that point and the mission a complete failure. Aleksis is being discharged with honours due to his injuries (-1 Str, -1 Dex).
Although part of the medical costs are being paid for by the marines, Aleksis is unlucky part of the medical costs fall outside of their purview and falls unto Aleksis himself (75% * 10.000 = 7500 Being paid by the Marines, leaving 2500 Debt)
However his platoon does chip in and grant him a TAS membership and a TL12 Stunner.

Even though one of the planets is inhabited by a dangerous plant-based alien race Sophia can set up a series of recording devices in order to gather extra information on them, without being detected. Unfortunatly she slips when she installs the last recording device and falls down a cliff.
[Event roll 8 - Try to gather intelligence on alien race]
[Event result injury - strength reduced by 1D - Result 2]
Her right arm is shattered by the accident and even though she gets medical treatment her physical strength is diminished.
She undergoes a special treatment to regain her strength. Unfortunatly the contract with the company doesn't cover medical expenses and so she has to pay the 10000CR all by herself
[Company doesn't cover any of the expenses - 10000CR medical debt
[Personal development roll - EDU +1]
She has to spend a few months in the hospital, and she uses the time to read a lot about star ships and electronics.

[Advancement roll successful]
Sophia is successful, is promoted to the technical leader of the surveying group and flies off to the moon for her next four year contract

I'm using the 2E Mongoose tables. Also, when you are drafted, you may select your field within the service.
Actually, Machiabelly, when you fail your first career roll (outside of an academy or university), you have to submit to the Draft or become a drifter for at least one term.

I'm using this set of rules.
So maybe they are different, but this one has continuing after a failed survival roll as an optional rule. Wasn't sure if we were using that optional rule.

Sophia is sent off to the rocky moon in order to find resource deposits there.
She spends a lot of time not only scanning the moon but also monitoring the activity of the star and of the gas giant. Learning a lot about celstial bodies.
[Advanced Education Skill Roll: Science (Astronomy)
Event skill roll: You spend several years jumping from world to world: Gain Astrogation 1
The rocky moon itself isn't particularily ressource rich but she finds promising hints of potential deposits in the spectra of nearby stars.
Sophia jumps around the nearby systems and finds a lot of different worlds that should each yield a lot of resources for the "Surveyors of the Galaxy"
For her efforts she's promoted to "Senior scout". She also learned how to steer normal spacecrafts through the void.
She also signs another four years contract because being a space scout really fulfills her

Term 1 (18-22 y.o.)
Tereval "Rev" Parsiminus
Tereval or Rev, for short, was born and raised in a low-gravity asteroid mining colony. From his youth he watched the various mechanics and techs at their work, and helped his father and uncle with their work when he could. He knew no other life, and expected no other life for himself. However, when he applied to join the mining company's technician corps he choked. Tests always made him nervous and the watchful eyes of the aptitude test proctors made him sick to his stomach. He lost his nerve and failed to qualify.
Lost and directionless, he took the only other option available to him: enlist in the armed forces of the local system government. They sent him to the surface defense forces on Fureden. He began basic training and did alright. Not spectacular, but it was work and a few meals a day. After boot camp, things became routine, and he was settling in to the lifestyle alright. Most of the other sodliers came from similar, blue-collar backgrounds like himself, even if a lot of the officers weren't. During his second year, however, during a routine force recon exercise, he was in a serious accident, when his recon vehicle malfunctioned and flipped. The driver, his buddy Grant Lars, had been drinking, and lost control of the vehicle on a sharp turn. Everyone survived, but they were all seriously injured, and mustered out honorably. Except Grant, who's still in a Military penal colony.
Rev, for short, was nearly crippled. Fortunately the army's medical facility was able to restore most of his strength and mobility, but it was a long recovery, and at his enlistment level, he had to pay for some out of pocket. Due to his conditions, he couldn't continue to serve in the armed forces.
Term Two (22-26 y.o.)
After recovering as much as he probably ever would, Rev decided to try to use his skills to return to some semblance of his former life in space. He decided to try becoming a Belter. In his first couple of years, he suffered another horrendous accident that (nearly?) claimed his life.
Career Attempted: Belter (Success)
Survival Dex 7+: Failed - Seriously Injured
Reduce Dex by 1d6: Result 4-6= -2
Um... so I think he's dead now? Since he has no money with which to pay for 1d6x10,000 to keep him alive. What's the process here?

Draft is 1d6, so I'll just use the first die of your 2d6 roll. You are drafted as an Agent (law enforcement). You gain the following skills: Streetwise 0, Drive 0, Investigate 0, Flyer 0, Recon 0, Gun Combat 0. If you already have one of these skills, it does not increase. Next, you'll roll 2d6 and add (or subtract) your ENDurance modifier. You need a 6 or higher to stay in the career field. If you remain in, please roll 2d6 for your event. If not, roll 1d6 for your mishap.

Term 4: 30-34 Years of age
After a few successful years, Agagir I, was becoming up-and-coming. Aleksis successfully charmed his way through the high society of this place to be, organising several business parties (Persuade - 1) for so that businesses and families from his home planet could invest and make good deals. This however slowly earned him the enmity of Princess Alaisa de Quadalinte (Enemy), because she didn't like that his parties were considered better than hers. On the other hand, his connections and swift organising various law-enforcement and private military forces earned him the gratitude of Navy Captain Lisa Green (Ally) for saving her daughter from a kidnapping attempt.

He couldn't complete hos employment contract with the Belters and so gained no benefits and is now jobless, and aimless, with a mountain of medical debt.

He decided to become a motivational speaker!!
Term 3 (26-30 yo)
But nobody booked him for speaking engagements. So he tried for the military again. But they told him he couldn't come back again. So he decided to bum it for a few years as a wanderer. During his travels he learned a few things about surviving on the streets. He met quite a few interesting people, including a CONTACT. He grew accustomed to the life and just kept wandering, until one fine day he and bunch of other bums were rounded up and press-ganged into military service.

Carlos Montoya had grown up rich and his childhood was great, he basically got what he wanted and skated by. Life gave him a wake up call when he turned 18. University rejected him and no company would hire him as a reporter. So, he submitted to the draft and was assigned as a military police officer. Although it was not his original job choice, he has come to enjoy the camaraderie and sense of responsiblity that came with the job.

Term 5: 34-38 Years of age
After 8 years on Agagir, Aleksis was reassigned to a negotiate a settlement between two noble houses, House Ordinos and House Ginaz, in conflict near the Kanoka system. During the negotiations, he was assisted by the Naval Destroyer Daring, captained by Captain Lisa Green, whom he met earlier when her daughter was kidnapped on Agagir.
After about a year of negotiations, the houses forces became impatient and aggressive, creating a stand-off. When Aleksis ordered Captain Green to standby on a safe distance, Captain Green however choose a side the side of one of the belligerents. Apparently Captain Green was on the books of House Ordinos and had to make a stand.
This betrayal jeopardised the whole negotiation mission, as the destroyer was a powerful new asset to House Ordinos force, thus emboldening them to take direct action.
With the mission was a failure, although outside of Aleksis' control, he was passed over for promotion when he returned. This, together with the sting of the betrayal, caused him to reconsider his career, and to seek the life of a Traveller.

[Personal development roll: 1 - Gain +1 STR]
[Survival roll too low - Mishap roll 4 - You inadvertently cause a conflict between the Imperium and a minor world or race. Gain a Rival and Diplomat 1.

Unfortunatly and unknown by her she orders a drilling rig to placed right into the sacred burying grounds of the Ysoky, a tribal alien race.
The Surveyors of the Galaxy are bombared by outraged mails and calls from alien rights organizations. The whole team is disbanded as a reaction to the outrage and she has to leave the company as well as her first officer Rias McGovern. Rias blames Sophia for the failure and wants her to recompense him for the failure. Sophia just followed orders relayed to her by the company and doesn't feel responsible for recompensing Riasm, which makes him swear revenge to her.
At least Sophia gained some experience especially in intellectual abilities, a combat rifle as well as experience in using it.
Her severance package also includes 70000CR in cash which also helped her a lot.
[Sophia gains the following mustering out benefits:
EDU +1

Since you are also a marine during your first term, we could have met during basic training?We could tie it to my Term 1 event, "a mission goes disastrously wrong due to your commander's error", by saying Anton (that's me) consulted with Aleksis in the aftermath of the accident. Anton witnessed his commander giving a bad order during a "routine" training mission, resulting in the death of several other recruits, but was unsure what to do about it. Whether Anton heeded your advice or not, he appreciated having someone that he could confide in.

Rugnar Vvulson (translated from Vragr) is a space pirate. He steals from the rich to give to himself. He lives in an old abandoned mining asteroid that has been converted into a base to retrofit pirate operations but will spend weeks to months at a time lurking in the wreckage of a great ship battle to attack unwary scrappers.

@GM: Two questions:
1) In the book, the maximum one can spend on equipment in character creation is 2K, do you hold to that rule?
2) Is the Central Supply Catalogue allowed for buying equipment?
General Question: How do you guys handle character sheets for custom games like this? I tried making a text only sheet, but am getting frustrated by the (apparent) inability of making tables on this forum. Is there a way to make tables, do you use an off-site sheet, or just deal with the text only sheet?

@Machiabelly:
I haven't forgotten you, just been very busy.
During your first term, you develop a network of contacts and gain 1d3 contacts that you may define. Next, you need to roll for advancement; 2d6 plus your INT modifier, you need a 6 or higher. If you advance, you become a corporal and gain Streetwise 1 (unless you already have it at that level). You also need to roll another 1d on one of the following tables: Personal Development, Service skills, Law Enforcement skills, or Advanced Education (if your EDU attribute is 8 or higher).
After that, you can either continue in this career or try to get into a new one (that you haven't already tried). If you roll a 12 on your advancement roll, you must stay in (you are too valuable to lose and are strong-armed into staying). If you elect to leave the career field, you need to roll for benefits or cash. Decide which you will go for and roll 1d twice.
If you stay in the career, you will need to roll 1d for a skill (choose a table as above) and must then roll for survival (END 6+). If you survive, roll another 2d. If you fail, roll 1d.

You get Advocate for your advanced education, and you pick up Gun Combat for your service skill. Both of these are at 1 or else add 1 level to your existing skill (so your Gun Combat becomes 2). Also, your Streetwise skill should be 1. Once again, you go above and beyond the call of duty and gain a +2 DM on your next advancement roll.
Roll for advancement; 2d6+2, you need a 6 or higher. If you advance, you become a sergeant. You also need to roll another 1d on the table of your choice if you advanced. Unless you roll a 12 on your advancement roll, you can get out now.
Once you have made these rolls, we will determine your cash and benefits. You get one benefit roll for every term you survived, plus an additional benefit roll because you made rank 2. For every benefit roll, choose either money or benefit and roll 1d. You may choose money a maximum of three times.
You may now begin play or try to get into another career.

Don't forget to add your extra level of Gun Combat for your service skill that came with the promotion. You get 15,000 credits cash, a piece of scientific equipment of your choosing (up to Cr2000 and TL12), +1 to your INT score, and one ship share (1 MCr [CR1000000] worth of a ship). The ship credit cannot be exchanged for cash. You may spend up to Cr2000 on equipment.

In order to ensure that you are adequately prepared for a life of adventure among the stars, each of you should choose one of the following skills. Remember that this gives you the skill at level 1, which is not beneficial if you already possess the skill at level 1 or higher. Discuss amongst yourselves how to best divide the skills. All eight skills should be chosen, so some of you may choose twice.

Aleksis Dempster Scott Began life as a nobles son, and had average grades in school. He went on to the star marines where he served two term as an officer. He mostly learner Leadership and Administration skills. He then went on to server 3 terms as a Diplomat, gaining proficiency in Persuasion, Diplomatic situations and how to be a good Steward. Thus I see Aleksis mostly as someone who can take care of any passengers we may have, and negotiate, either formal deals or informally. Eventually I may want to learn to negotiate deals as a Broker, though I don't have any proficiency in that area as of yet.
In that context, the above list has no must-have candidates for me, but Medic 1 is being probably the most logical.

Carlos Montoya had no real direction in life until he was drafted into the military police. He spent his whole career there and is now looking for adventure.
He has shooting at 3 and melee at 1. So good at combat.
He has medical, streetwise, and advocate at 1

Anton Perkins had a direction in life, or so he thought until he was rejected by the Scouts and was drafted into the Marines. Definitely not the career he had dreamt of during his adolescent years, however his 8 years with the Marines did teach him the valuable skills of Gun Combat (Slug and Energy) and Melee (Blade).
The next 8 years, wandering the galaxy as a Drifter, taught him some of the "shadier" skills of Deception, Recon and Survival.
Secondary skills (those at rank 0) include: Athletics, Comms, Heavy Weapons, Stealth, Streetwise, Tactics, and Vacc Suit.
Anton is probably best suited in a combat role among the team, but can also help keep everyone alive in a planetside wilderness environment. As far as a role on a ship, if needed, he could maybe fill in as a Comms operator?
@WhtKnt - I just noticed that MgT2 moved "Comms" to a specialization under the Electronics skill. Do you want me to change my background skill of Comms 0 to Electronics 0? That would make me a little bit more useful for shipboard operations, giving me a basic understanding of both Comms and Sensors.

Sorry for the double post. Avatar check.
Plus, do I have to pick specialization for each of my skills, like shooting?

@StevetheNPC: Yes, go ahead and do that. Since they combined the two, it makes sense.
@Machiabelly: Some skills have specialties – specialized, more focused forms of that skill. A Traveller picks a specialty when he gains level 1 in a skill that has two or more specialties.
For example, a Traveller might have Engineer 0, allowing him to make Engineer skill checks without the unskilled penalty. He might then gain a level in Engineer, at which point he would need to choose a specialty. For Engineer, this is a choice between jump drive, maneuver drive, power plant, and electronics.
If he chooses jump drives, he would record this on his character sheet as Engineer (jump drive) 1. He would then make all Engineer checks involving jump drives at DM+1, but would still make all other Engineer checks at DM+0 (in other words, with no penalty). A Traveller can have multiple specialties in a skill – he might have Engineer (jump drive) 1 and Engineer (power plant) 2. He would therefore make checks related to jump drives with DM+1, checks related to power plants with DM+2, and all other Engineer checks with DM+0.
The only skills you have that require specialization are Melee and Gun Combat. Your choices for Gun Combat are Archaic (any primitive weapon that is not thrown), Energy (lasers and plasma rifles), or Slug (weapons that fire a solid projectile). For Melee, you may choose from Unarmed, Blade, Bludgeon, or Natural.

Since I have gun combat 3, can I take slug at 2 and energy at 1?
I took melee as blade. If I can't split the gun, I am going all in on slug.

This is a list of skills that the party gets free of charge. Each of you should select at least one [for some, more] of these skills until all have been selected. They represent skills that will help the group immensely in their adventures. For example, I don't believe that you have a Pilot or Astrogator, so someone may want to take one or both of those skills (it's better to divide the duties so that the pilot can concentrate on piloting whole the astrogator does their thing).

When you said I had 2K credits I could spend on gear. I assumed that counted weapons and armour. Is that right? Because that took up all of the 2K. I still have 13K credits to spend first time we go shopping.
Also...how do ship shares work and do any of the rest of you have any?

The cr2000 does include weapons and armor. His armor comes as one of his mustering-out benefits, which is why he gets more to spend on such. You can spend your other Cr13000 in-game.
A ship share is part ownership in a vessel, MCr1 worth. If anyone else has shares, we'll make them all part of the same ship for convenience. This is not actual money, but rather credit ratings, loan papers, bank statements, etc. Most ships cost on the order of Cr45000000 (MCr45) or more but are paid off in monthly installments. Normally, this is paid for through passenger service, cargo transport, or similar means. We'll be glossing over a large part of this, but you'll still want to pick up passengers or will be asked to carry cargo from time to time.
Any ship shares the group has will go towards a free trader. It is a small, unarmed vessel designed to carry up to 10 passengers (plus 20 in low berths (cryogenic suspension)) and up to 82 tons of cargo. It has no weapons or defenses, but can be modified to carry such.
I will permit the group to have a vessel with a slightly lower mortgage if desired, but the vessel will have certain quirks.

Korgath A68636 Age 38
Barbarian (4 terms), Drifter (1 term) Homeworld: Stygia (Low Law, Desert)
Skills
Melee Combat-2
Animals-1, Athletics-1, Gambling-1, Gun Combat-1, Jack of Trades-1, Recon-1, Survival-1, Mechanics-1
Possessions:
Weapon
Low passage
Medium passage
Cr 5,000
From the blasted wastes strode Korgath, His blade made him master of his world, but after an arrogant drunken boast, he was honor-bound to move on to new realms; He snuck aboard the metal ships of the sky men, and found himself among the stars. The experience was not one he was prepared for. The sky men did not act as he was used to men acting, and he barely escaped a dire fate among the pirate reavers. Surprisingly, it was his taste for games of chance that kept him alive, if only barely. He was not the greatest of gamesmen, but he was bold, and there were few that would dare cheat the imposing starbarian - until one slimy worm did so, and escaped with most of his wealth. Now Korgath finds himself selling his sword arm again to make his way across the universe.

OOC:
I swapped INT and EDU - it seemed like better fit for him being a Barbarian. I figure that Stygia is a post-apocalytic sort of place, so he knows how to use guns and blasters, and the basics of tinkering with machines, though he might not know the science behind them. I know this is mostly a merchant ship, but I figure he'll be good to have around as muscle if things get sticky.Last edited June 11, 2021 2:58 am
