Re: Discussion for new GURPS Traveller PbP game
I like the space genre, but know only a little about the Traveler setting. I will watch this game with interest, and might be able to play a crewmember if it was one that didn't require much setting knowledge.
Maybe a dedicated Gunner or a "Face" type character, depending on how the players of petty officers #1 and #2 go with their builds? Both of them seem a bit overloaded with tasks.

Re: Discussion for new GURPS Traveller PbP game
Dorin, setting knowledge in this time period is actually not an issue, provided you're from Earth and we spend most of our time in the Imperium.The biggest thing you need to know is, we're in an uneasy peace between Earth and this massive Imperium we've just encountered. Maybe your character is a captialist whose objective is to make a buck and spread the gospel of capitalism to the crazy, planned economy Vilani. Makes a good party face, given your skillset, and it explains your lack of knowledge of the setting.
We can split my secondary in half, with my guy specializing in Cargo handling and yours specializing in passengers and locating said cargo |

In fact, you'll be marking your 90th day together aboard the Hiawatha next week. That's 90 days with no incidents, no injuries, and all pick-ups and deliveries made on time.

Re: Discussion for new GURPS Traveller PbP game
MORE questions! :)
-Do we make our character sheets "public" knowledge, or PM them to you privately? Personally, since the crew already know each other, I would have no problem with having other players know the exact stats of my characters... it would make a lot of sense in a way. -Is there a particular format you'd like for a background? Just a few lines? A detailed history? etc... Personally, I'm pretty much willing to go as far as needed. |

And Rasimus these sentinments apply to you as well. Are you also interested in an 'alternate' position in case we need a replacement later? There may be one or more opportunities for both of you, Rasimus and Dorin to join the action a little later on. I truly appreciate the interest that both of you have shown, and it hurts me more than I can say to spurn willing players. I ask your forgiveness and you patience, please?

Please do NOT pm the character sheets to me. And I'm looking for more than a few lines of background, but less than, say, three paragraphs. If you can say everything in one 5-sentence paragraph, then by all means please do so. If it takes more than 3 paragraphs to say everything, that's ok, too. Just make sure that you're saying something and not just running up a word count. Last edited by pup67vargr; 08-04-2011 at 11:10 PM. |

Re: Discussion for new GURPS Traveller PbP game
Again with my questions!
-Merchant Rank: necessary? If so, how much should the First Officer have? |

Among the enlisted crew, someone will need to be the Senior Chief Petty Officer (SCPO), and there can be one or more Chief Petty Officers (CPO), and the rest just Petty Officers (PO). The New Guy, when he joins can give himself the rank of Able Crewman if he so desires. (Or even Able Spacer if he wants.) |

Re: Discussion for new GURPS Traveller PbP game
That's fine, I'll continue to lurk. If I did join I would strongly prefer to have only one character, as more would become difficult to manage, so that's not a problem. If the party finds itself lacking in a particular area as time goes on I'll be happy to fill the gap.
