Troll Lord Games

I think you are right. Good catch. But I have to say that chart is about as clear as well .. something that isn't. For our purposes I am going to let all training fees slide for now. At level 3 (should we get there) fees will be applied. Anyway, fret not. I just have to underline what I said before....

Gee sorry about that. I'll PM the link.

Space rats!!!!! cool ....

Thats an interesting twist Penny. Unfortunately that wont work in my campaign. The rescuee is the son of a wealthy family and in my world zombies can turn more zombies. Making him a psycho would fit however. He is due to marry a PC's sister. I'm planning on her becoming a member of this cult who is...

Well, if no one else makes their character a "ships crew" type with Navigation of 1, then I will have to drop all 3 of those last skills I added to get a Navigation of 1. (1+2=3) Hopefully it won't come to that, but if it does, that is what I will do. I am not understanding why you'd have...

Armor/AC . . so if I'm understanding this correctly low AC is good except for primitive armor? Also, how large is the ship? Is there an example in the rulebook? Does it have an aviary? Can I have a Cooper's Hawk as a pet? If, not how about a cat? ;) Great background. I love how he is tied in with y...

Welcome, Hawthorn! While I am here, I'd like to introduce the ship's bot to everyone: Todd aka The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 'He' came with the ship .... Originally he was a theatre bot but somewhere along the way he got re-programmed for his current occupation. Whoever re-wrote his software had ...

I like what I'm hearing so far. I'm planning on having the party rescue someone who is unbeknowst a member of the occult. This rescuee will obtain a hair sample or the likes. Very soon they will encounter an evil priest who may become a recurring theme. I love your twists! Here's another... The com...

Cool. I can work these ideas. Treebore: What kind of trade goods are you interested in pursuing and what would respect look like to you? Like how would you quantify respect or recognize that you are achieving that goal? Would it kind of be like everyone knows your name and reputation? Yeah, and the...

. How would you handle the use of the doll? As leverage. The power comes from the threat. In a face to face encounter the character could make pin pricks (1d2 or 1d4) to demonstrate that the doll works. It could tingle but I like your idea of numbness a lot. And then the villain could point out tha...

*** need your help *** As part of character creation the book suggests describing a goal for your character. It doesn't have to be long though it could be if you get inspired. Two words: "Murdering Hobo" reads loud and clear to me. From my limited experience with sandbox games this step is...

My thoughts: Omega Trout 10 having Captain Marco Polo. Earth - either way. Ship mascot - all of them. other - forthcoming. :) Basically people feel Omega Trout 10 is ok but perhaps too long for the pilot to say in certain circumstances where every syllable might count. So Treebore, feel free to sho...

Edit: and 6 more HP, for a total of 13.

Happy to do so.

yeah about youssa wanting to be Jar Jar ...

No. And I am NOT kidding. hahahhaha

<3 Wookies

Skills Ok. So sorry for my lack of clarity. I re-read the relevant sections plus Kevin Crawford's response and this is what I think I'd like us to try: You automatically get a 0 in any skill included in your Background Package (See pages 12-13 for choices) If a particular skill in that description ...

Started the new thread: Stars Without Number Yeah, I saw that. I think no one would get upset if your put a Online game thread in this forum. I've ran Traveller and other games out of this forum over the years, and no one fussed at me. Then again, they probably won't fuss about where you have it at...

Do we get additional credits for being level 2? I am not seeing anything specifically addressing that. The gear already on board does change things a little, even though I will keep my Vacc Suit because it would be best if at least 2 can go out to do repairs, etc... just for the "Buddy Safety ...

OK, I have my gear bought. Just need to redo my character "sheet" to make it look as pretty as Aergraith's. Edit: Character is done, posted it on very first page in my very first post to make it easy to find as this "conversation" grows in page count. Nice. And thanks for remind...

Starting Ship Equipment (open for discussion) Treebore, since you've already made your purchases feel free to make any necessary adjustments to your list. The following list was made assuming Laveau owned the ship and supplied you with what you needed to safely accomplish the mission. If one or all...

Opening scenario: (just a cut and paste from old forum thread) You and your party will have just landed on a planet known as Liberty in the Hydra sector.

"I don't think its the system thats the problem so much as that the AA setting assumption is completely different." People really do judge books by their covers. It is unfortunate for the makers of the game that AA comes across as appearing like it can only work for a narrow niche setting....

If you want to create a homeworld I will be happy to hear all about it and it will probably make for a more interesting character. If that is too much bother then let it slide. I do not have any preferences on what you choose. I was just going to cheat and adapt my favorite world from the Traveller...

You know P-W, i thought of AA for Star Wars once upon a time, but I don't really like the system for scifi. SS, on the other hand, is a great scifi game that just never got any love the the TLG boys. It's a shame really, they could have done so much more with it. R- As I read your description (whic...

I really am open to continuing, trying something new or passing along the slot to someone else. After a few sessions I feel like we are all getting to know the system. Penny, have you read or know about Victorious, Ghastly Affair or Ravenloft's Masque of the Red Death? I would easily run or play in...

Penny, Should we just create our own Homeworld, ie do the "brief write up" option, or do you have worlds you want us to chose from? Edit: Should I still create an AA character? Are you planning on returning to that game? Edit 2: I am thinking I will be going with an Expert with the Pilot ...

Penny, I'm in. I have to find my password for rpgnow and then I'll DL the pdf. So, for now if you don't mind - what are the races available to play? Thanks. :D Hurrah! And how nice is it that they are willing to give out a free copy? Races. hmm.. I do not recall seeing any descriptions like that. B...
