thought I had passed...

[dice=Mishap]1d6

2 on injury table or roll twice and take lowest...looking up injury table

[dice=Severely injured damage]1d6

You rolled a 1 on the Mishap Table: 1 Injured. Roll on the Injury table.

You rolled a 4 on the Injury Table: 4 Scarred. You are scarred and injured. Reduce any one physical characteristic by 2.

Accurate so far?

I must be working from a different book.do want to use my second set of rolls?

Advancement Int 6+: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 1 = 6
Electronics(Computer)-1
Survival Edu 6+: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 1 = 13

Life Events: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Personal development: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ok, I now see where some of this has gone off track. As I said it's my first time GMing this. In your original post you had the right Headers but your dice rolls were not labeled right.

So step by step
1. Rolled your characteristics fine.
2. Picked your homeworld and background skills. You fixed that.
3. You chose a career and qualified for it.
4. We got the right basic training now.
5. You chose Field Researcher specialization.
6. a.You rolled fine on the Field Researcher table
b. Here is where things went haywire. You labeled your survival roll but the dice description said "Advancement Int 6+" and you picked up the skill for rank 1. It should have been End 6+. You ended up with a 7 which survives and moves on to events.
7. If we use your life even roll of 4 you get: 4 You are assigned to work on a secret project for a patron or organisation. Gain one of Medic 1, Any Science (any) 1, Engineer (any) 1, Computers 1 or Investigate 1.
8. Roll for Advancement. Here your dice roll says "Survival Edu 6+" It should be Int 6+. You rolled a 5 which means you don't advance. So no Rank 1 skill and no roll on a table but you can continue in your career.

Why don't you start rolling again from here. If you need the correct tables I can get them to you or you can do the rolls and I will tell you what the results are.

How does that sound?

It's early morning here. Just woke up. I will attempt to do char gen as soon as things get quiet

I'm kind of lost

for roll 22-26

I should have rolled survival first which was a edu 13

If advancement is second, then its a int 7

Advancement here would give me the Science 1

life event:

You are assigned to work on a secret project for a patron or organisation. Gain one of Medic 1, Any Science (any) 1, Engineer (any) 1, Computers 1 or Investigate 1.

Computers 1

Having a SOC of 12 could be kinda cool ... would be a great basis for Rion & Axel to know each other actually :)

ALSO ... since your mustering out isn't written in stone yet, editing those to maximize Ship Shares, and applying those to the yacht that Rion will be going for, could be a thought :)

Oh. Didn't know I could add the +1 to those rolls too. I'll have a look and see

And yeah. I'd for sure be happy with a SoC of 12

CUT&PASTE from Page 34 ---- Applies to ALL Benefit Rolls

Yup. Thanks. Updated

10ss. Which sounds great for what ever we are going for

Though I think going for a corsair should be better? Maybe?

Though I think going for a corsair should be better? Maybe?

That's a tough one. A 400ton ship that needs 104 tons of fuel to make a jump 2 versus a 200ton ship that only needs 44 tons of fuel to make 2 Jump-1s. The operational costs of a corsair will be WAY higher, not to mention the mortgage.

LOL plus we would need a long term pirate to be going for multiple Corsair results when they m/o ... given that every yacht result Jason gets is worth 5 shares, let's say he has 8 rolls like you: we could start the campaign owning 30-40% of a ship that we should totally be able to make money operating.

I was just looking at defence. And offence.

But let's wait and see what the others bring to the table. And we still need to decide on our package for the game.

And if I get 2 contacts with players. I can bump my 2 remaining pilot to 1. And then with the package, depending on what ship we take, I bump the relevant skill to 2

Well I would totally be cool to make a connection with Axel. I need to go read that section again.

Oh my gosh! Traveller?! I backed the T5 Kickstarter years ago, but have never, ever had a chance to play a game. Is this recruitment closed already? Think you mentioned only needing two, and I think you’ve already got more.

If there’s any chance of still joining, please let me know. I’m going to go try and hunt down the correct rules version now, but if you’ve got a DriveThruRPG link to the right edition, so much appreciation.

Wonder if I should in fact attempt a 6th final term. But I'm not sure if I'll be as blessed with the last term :P

Its still opened, he needs a minimum of two to play but will take more.

I double checked to make sure I had DM's on all the pertinent rolls, it only change the events from the third tour, and I changed my selection from navigation to Astrogation.

@Robert and Jason

Happy to make connections

@Robert
You could have joined my crew after you were rescued Fromm 'fringes of friendly space."

@Jason
You were there when he was awarded his title of Baron and the two became friends and thus started this band of travellers?

Ninja'd by Seth86, will edit
This is RH's character Lucian,

Hey Seth86, since Axel and Lucian and Axel share a similar background, any chance they knew each other as kids? Not entire sure how the connection skills work, but if we knew each other it may make it simpler.

Jason or Daniel, similar question, how can we put a connection together?

I'm also considering a 6th term, not sure if I can get in anything other than drifter....

Edit: Since he was still a scout, I'm not sure he could join the navy, but it could be your ship that found him.

With rolling a sixth tour, there the same age. Could have gone to school together and kept in touch. I do like the idea of you ship finding him drifting at the edge of space. You good with that too? Not sure what skill to add, you interested in teaching Lucian how to use a blade?

Do you have gun training?

And yeah. Finding him adrift works for me
