I kinda like the idea of a Scout who's been all over the place and (thinks he has) seen everything, but is, in many ways, past his prime, and struggling with the concept.

I haven't played PbP in 15 years, but is there still room for me to get in on this action?

The Moonlight needs a medic and an engineer.

Where in the Marches are we starting?

Can I play a Jedi?

Ha!  Just kidding.  I wanted to add a comment to auto-subscribe.

Did someone say engineer?

I'll happily play either.

Count me in, but PC gen will have to wait until I wake up, go do volunteer work, go to work, sleep, and then wake up again...

I have too much Other Shit during the week.

Ok, so far so good - you've got a Merchant Captain with a muster-out of two free-traders; you can cash those in for one PIF Far Trader type if you wish (being paid off is a huge thing in Traveller as you know) - I'm always partial to a Marava 200-tonner, but if you can find something in the 200-500t range you'd rather have, that's cool.

Our retired Scout has a ship as well, so you can either form a bit of a mini-fleet if you wish, or just have that as a "free rental" ticket to take a Type-S from any Scout base as needed so long as you return it when done, up to you.

I think 5-6 players is do-able for this; it'll give you an actual crew without having to NPC it, and also keep things moving accounting for down-time of players here and there.

I'll see about a starting point and some details later today as time permits. Post any additional questions here.

:huhsign:

Sorry, I'm in the mortgage banking biz. PIF = Paid in Full.

Actually wrote an article for the SJGames online Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society detailing starship mortgages and how they work (or don't - it's hideously expensive). And I suck at math, so go figure.

Okay, so the Moonlight is a mortgage-free far trader instead.

Here's a link to info on the Spinward Marches:

I believe we will start at Lunion:

http://traveller.wikia.com/wiki/Lunion_(world)

A well developed world in close proximity to some interesting subsectors and worlds in the area. Should be able to get into plenty of trouble there.

I wouldn't mind playing if there's still room.

Why not?

Think that gives us 6 if I'm counting right...
