TRAVELLER: Moving On Up in the Spinward Marches
"Commerce is the Glue that holds the Imperium together." You hear that a lot in Starport Taverns and Corporate Boardrooms all over the Marches. And indeed, the Imperium takes business seriously. Individual planets are free to rule their own affairs pretty much unimpeded by any concerns short of Weapons-of-Mass-Destruction, Slavery, and impediments to trade. That last being the most serious of all...
Trade between interstellar communities is encouraged by word and by policy. Despite being dominated by "MegaCorporations" along the most profitable and busiest routes, that still leaves room for small independent companies and even individual ships to make profits along the seams; on the less traveled routes and with more 'interesting' cargoes.
This GAME is PG rated; that is there will surely be some violence, though that is not the main theme and it will be treated abstractly with minimal gore. ROMANCE is encouraged, but sex of whatever variety should be kept "off camera" and alluded to only in passing...
----------
Classic Traveller; the proverbial little black books. Role-Play Heavy though with a good dose of old-school dice rolling. This is planned to be commerce-heavy! Get Rich Quick or go broke for trying.

This is a SCIENCE FICTION setting, using the Traveller "Spinward Marches" published material. You do not need any experience with or knowledge of the setting, but should know that this is relatively 'hard' Sci-Fi with minimal 'fantasy' elements. Characters should be oriented towards starship careers/professions in a merchant-commercial enterprise.
The easiest way to get started is to write a short bio or description of the character you would like to play and let the GM "run the numbers" for you. In particular if you are unfamiliar with the original Traveller rules and don't have the books ready to hand this would be preferred. You do not need prior experience with TRAVELLER in order to play! You do not need to buy any books or reference any rules.
If you wish to "roll your own" you can do that. Use BOOK ONE characters, and no switching careers. 3 to 5 terms (12 to 20 years) of service gives you a character of 30 to 38 years of age. Some aging penalties may apply to 4 and 5 term characters.
Since this is a commerce-oriented game, characters with a MERCHANT background are well suited for play, though a career in the Scouts or Navy might be applicable too. It might be a bit of a stretch to have Army or Marine characters but I'm willing to talk about it...
Characters generated from Supplement-8 "Citizens of the Imperium" are possible. Best way to do that is with the on-line character generator as follows:
Using the Classic Traveller character generator at Bat-In-The-Attic is another choice. https://www.batintheattic.com/traveller/
