No worries! Happy to play without the self-imposed restriction if the PC is otherwise acceptable (and there's room).
Pondering some more and I'm thinking Tanner might be a mute Witch. Still similar backstory of being a merc, but spell caster type. The creepy guy that doesn't talk, but sometimes is sounds like that rat he carries in his pocket is saying something. GM, if my application is accepted, would I be allowed a mute spellcaster? I don't want to take away Verbal component of spells, but would have it so the familiar is the one speaking the arcane utterances to create the magic. Or, I imagine someone without a tongue might be able to form the right arcane words with the aid of their patron. Tanner would be a human NE (Demonsworn) Witch of the Nightmare Patron (happy to have GM decide patron). With the Mercenary (bonus to negotiating rates) and Amorale Mercenary (campaign) traits. I'll gen up a full character sheet if this is acceptable.
Welp, just saw Amorale Mercenary Campaign Trait and it pretty much fits Tanner. Suppose he's NE. :)
Reminds me of Nualia from RotR Book 1
I didn't quite follow the thread to see who's playing what, but I'm inclined to throw my hat in the ring: Tanner Dinar:
Three people can keep a secret, if two of them are dead. Or maybe one is alive, one is dead, and one is Tanner, a mute and illiterate sell-sword that would rather dice and fight than find a way to convey a secret. Tanner wasn't born a mute, but you run your mouth off to authorities in Cheliax enough and you're bound to break some arbitrary local lord's rule that gets your tongue cut out. After that, it became a game of proving value through violence and might that built Tanner a small reputation in the surrounding area of Longacre. When the Hellfire Compact was proposed, Tanner finally found an avenue to earn the coin he owed ol' Cimri Staelish. He would sell his skills to this "Thrune" and have enough to buy a dice hall for himself one day.
In my mind, he's a martial character, but wouldn't have to be. Would just have to get creative with any mute spellcasting by GM fiat? Also, was considering him to be a trigger man through and through. LN type that adheres to whatever contract he's pledged himself to.
Lilika stabs out with her dagger twice before snapping her shield into place.
My idea for the database is to have it support the functions of the various experts that live on the system without needing a link to some greater network.
Curious too. Cast enlarge on the barb that was engulfed by a gibbering mouther. No line of sight but curious if the mechanics allow for this.
Oooooooohh, another Traveller new player. Yay!
Either way, totally fine with someone else being the Captain. I'm pretty regular on the posting too (luxury of a software job). My wife is my sounding board for most of my PC gen and she told me I should be a boat mechanic (fwiw, no context given to her) so I suppose that's my angle. However, I will not be taking her name recommendation this time... "Reginald The Mighty" doesn't seem appropriate for the setting.
Hi! I'm Gary aka Mirko. I've been playing TTRPGs since 2015 or so. Mainly Pathfinder 1e/2e but a healthy smattering of 5e and Vampire the Masquerade. I've GM'd and played in both PF systems but 2e is my favorite. Currently playing an online Discord based Foundry VTT game in 1e and several PbP 2e games (also run by Tarondor). I have exactly 0 Traveller experience but am excited after digging into the rules a bit. Big sci-fi fan so I'm happy to scratch this itch. As for Career, I'm not partial to anything just yet and am happy to let the dice muse for me. If I had to choose, I suppose Navy would be my choice as it was my choice years ago... Looking forward to good times and good story!
Having been a Pathfinder nerd, I always wondered why Starfinder never scratched my sci-fi itch. Now that I've read up on Traveller, completely understand. I've just been missing a good sci-fi system to play.
Would prefer to only play in one. Either one is fine. Willing to play in both if more players are needed.
I am interested. Just have to get my hands on a CRB and read up.
Lilika moves forward and hurls a glob or acid at the barricaded foe.
Perfire moves into the room and hurls a bolt of acid at the first robot.
Perf checks out the staff for magic.
Perfire hurls a acid arrow at the minotaur before taking cover.
Perfire creeps up to the doorway at the sound of battle and uses the last bit of his innate powerful magics to accelerate Wymond's body.
Perfire conjures some heat to try and meld the minoraurs armor together.
Perfire thinks really hard about what minotaur strengths and weaknesses are.
So sorry for the delay folks. I didn't dot into GamePlay so didn't see it come up from on my Campaign homepage. Will have profile and first gameplay post up shortly.
Perfire jumps around the corner and surges magical vigor into Lukas.
Definitely curious to see how they make PF2e guns in a similar niche to 1e. My 1e gunslinger was a true glass cannon and only concerned himself with dishing out as much damage as possible. I'm interested in how it will compare to a fighter when it comes to damage output. I imagine it'll be about the same. Also, thank you GM Tyranius!
I want to play whatever everyone else doesn't. :)
Excited to play! Thank you.
Just a random thought, but if this is a ancient creature, maybe we could just study it or something? The scientist Mirko is sad Kern doesn't have any talk with animal spells or something...
Kern nods. "I saw what looked like tracks. It's definitely worth investigating."
Mikhail flies after the manticore with magical speed, slashing and thrusting with his greatsword.
Lilika looks to the small gnome as she stands off to the side. "I'm not coming back here. I have to leave once we're at the Fort."
Internalizing her feelings, Lilika rises and resumes her normal stoic demeanor. "Frizz, stop crying and get up. It's not helping. We're still down here and need to find a way." She moves about the room in a practical pattern, searching for any clues or things of value. "Lukas or Perfire, could one of you search the mages body?" How did this mage get in and out of here...? She thinks to herself.
The gruesome sight materializes in front of Lilika as the sphere slowly dissipates. Her druidic instincts tell her the danger is no longer present and she steps over to stand next to Perfire. "You did your best." She says laconically while briefly placing a hand on Perfire's shoulder. She walks over to Frizz and Lukas in turn.
Lastly, she moves to Wymond. Her mouth tightens with brief emotion and then relaxes to its normal stoic expression. Kneeling down next to his motionless body with her back to the others, she silently begins to stroke Triaths coarse fur, a single tear rolls down her cheek.
Lilika's shrieks are unheard inside her sphere of doom
Lilika continues her feral attack against the magical sphere around her
Being trapped in the sphere causes Lilika's primal energy to surge.
Lilika lobs a glob of acid at the mage before stepping back 5ft.
Hearing the hostile words from the clockwork man and knowing instinctively things will come to blows, Lilika summons a glob of acid and hurls it at the man's face as she snaps her shield into place.
Lilika strides over to the small gnome and grabs her by the wrist before she can touch the lever. "No."
Lilika channels her remaining primal energy into the room.
Then focusses solely on Wymond.
She begins to inspect Perfire for magical maladies.
Glancing over at the red haired gnome bouncing with excitement, she comments to the group.
Irritated with her inability to breathe in this accursed storm. Lilika rushes forward, her hands morphing into razor sharp talons. She rakes her claws at the creature summoning the storm.
Lilika's breathe is swept away by the sudden storm
Lilika urges the mephit to press the attack before leaving this plane.
Live!
Lilika commands the mephit with harsh Druidic words. Contrasting Druidic prose flows from her mouth as she reaches out toward Frizz with a kind gesture.
The mephit turns to the demon and flies forward, fist raised, it crashes down on the demon.
Lilika utters sharp druidic words and thrusts her arm forward with a fist. As she slowly opens the fist, earthen material in the room gather and shape into small stoney creature with wings.
The earth mephit takes in a deep breathe and releases it at the cats. Stones and earth chunks flying at them with lethal intent.

Looks like Foundry Virtual TableTop module PDF to Foundry has limited import support for this already with full support soon!! Can’t wait to give it a go. https://www.patreon.com/posts/48435220
Lilika thrashes about in pain trying to find purchase on the creature, before swimming back to the entrance corridor.
Surfacing with a frustrated exhale, Lilika glances back at the group and sees a horrible foe. She then utters the Druidic words "Sciotán nascmhíl" as she lunges forward toward the foe. Her skin becomes grey and her snout shapes to a point, as jagged rows of teeth form in her mouth.

Lilika uses the healing forces of nature to mend Wymond's battered body.
Lilika continues her magical assault.
I have a player playing a Witch. She's a reformed worshiper of Norgorber. This should be fun. :)
