Troll Lord Games

Great write-up! Thanks for posting. :) Glad you like it! I will try to do the rest ASAP. As for this coming Sunday, neither Penny-Whistle nor Aergraith will be able to make it. So, I wanted to see what the rest of the group thought about playing without them. In that case, I would pay them as NPCs....

All good, brother. Take a rest and I'll see you all next week!

We on for tonight?

DISAPPEARANCE ON ARAMAT ~our story so far~ The party (Dr. Zenbureasal, mercenaries Pender, Alexei and Randall) has been hired by Dr. Lonet Chadra to find his daughter Alandra. Alandra, a university professor, had been missing for nearly a week, along with 5 of her students. The group was on the wild...

Thank YOU all for being such a fun crew. Summary coming this evening.

Thanks for a fun sesh, gang. I feel like I stumbled a bit compared to last time. I promise a spectacular session next time! I will also be typing a summary Tues. or Wed. (my days off).

Game at 7

Bad news, I have to work until 8PM tomorrow. Can be in game by 8:30. Sorry, we have a complete floor reset happening the first half of the week.

*snip* Yeah, basically the measure of a Traveller's vitality/life/etc. is the sum of your three physical characteristics. Damage is applied in a rather unirthodox manner, basically one stat at a time. One stat reduced to zero= briefly incapacitated. Two stats at zero= gravely wounded. All three phy...

And CT combat is famous for characters firing from behind cover....

Bingo.

When I was making my character I came to the conclusion she seems awfully fragile so I played that first session really cautiously. As in, totally avoiding all risk. Not as fragile as I am. Total HP: Randall: 30 Alexei: 26 Ziba: 21 Pender: 18 I think I started out slightly better than that, but wit...

If you all want to do that, that would be fine with me. I estimate 2 -3 more sessions to finish it... having a good time running it.

Also, thanks for the compliment, Penny. I definitely wanted to be prepared. I forgot to use most of the sound effects, though. I had "busy starport" and "starship bridge" on file, but forgot about them. But I have plenty left for the upcoming sessions.

Yes! Thank you, Gringnr: great job hosting your first roll20. You were really well prepared. Outstanding.

Great sesh, gang! I will write a summary within a couple of days. Also, I will change the backstory to reflect what we went with instead. I had a blast, and I hope you did, too!

OK Roll 20 is up amd I'm goofing off

The backstory is fine with me. What's important is what happens going forward, really. It's enough to get us started certainly! I am more of a "deeds over backstory" person. With Traveller it gets a little strange because you certainly do have a backstory because of character creation, bu...

If you can afford it, you can have it.

I mean, the adventure could just as easily start with, "elsewhere, three mercenaries have accepted a job" and dispense with the rest. It was something added on by me, with an eye towards an impetus for a continuingstory arc.

I can perhaps tone him down. His gruff nature does have a place in the overall scheme of this adventure, and perhaps future ones. Glad to have him, but less as a leader, and more of a fellow character that we can use when necessary. And I'm fine with using him to advance the adventure. Looking forw...

Is the backstory too much? Does it feel like I'm shoehorning everyone?

Added a subsector map to the Roll20 handouts. Note that this adventure, like much of the old third party stuff, has been declared non-canonical. But in our Traveller universe, it's as real as you and I.

PROLOGUE The date is 107-1109. Dr. Zibâ Zanbureasal, retired surgeon and aspiring planetary ecologist, receives an urgent message. A former colleague, Dr. Aladra Chandra, has gone missing, along with a group of her students. Dr. Lonet Chadra, Aladra's father, wishes to offer Zibâ a rather large sum...

Question for y'all - re: the combat roll . . I fire my submachine gun, it has +DM 9+ and -DM 6-. I have a DEX of 7. Ignoring all other DMs for the moment, what is the roll? Thanks, :) Submachine gun requires a dex of 6, or you take the penalty of -2. If you have a dex of 9, you can take the bonus o...

I've been putting off buying equipment. What sector are we in? Planet? What have we been up to? Do we often get into fights? Do we often end up needing survival/camping/recon gear? I will have an answer on the location soon. I know it is in or near the Precipice subsector. Fringes of charted space....

I have purchased three token packs from the Roll20 marketplace: SciFi Dark Base Token Pack, Darkwoulfe's Token Pack Vol 15 Space Saga, and Darkwoulfe's Token Pack Vol 16 Space Saga. PLease look those over in the marketplace and tell me which tokens you want to represent your characters. Orfeel free...
