Currently the new Traveller campaigns are going well.  Both groups have created their characters, and the Grognard group has finished their first game.  They loved it and I too found the game vastly more fulfilling to run.

The Youngling game will kick off tonight, my hope is that they will find the game just as entertaining.  I fully suspect that Robert will get his character killed post haste so that he can roll up a new one.  The character did not make it out of creation very well, but that equal parts bad rolls and Robert trying to push the system to create an older scientist type.  But we both understand that he will eventually be rolling up a new character.  The other reason he kept this character is that it was the only one out of the group that actually got a full ship (Lab) for the players.  Some others did get Ship Shares, but those are going towards modifying the ship.

I have come up with some creative solutions to modify the Lab ship from it's base design to turn it into a non-streamlined cargo vessel with labs.  They will not be able to enter atmosphere, but if there is a high port they can still ply the trade routes.

Tune in for more news as the game progresses.

I need to work on creating a youtube channel with these episodes as soon as possible to increase the interest in the game.  Hmmm.

 So I have finally pulled the trigger on Traveller.  I have always had a love of the Traveller system but have never had a consistent group that was in to Sci-Fi RPG's.  Most players default to the common Fantasy game systems.  I now have two groups that will be playing in my Traveller game on a consistent basis.

The Grognard group created characters and ship this last Saturday.  Much fun was had by all and I am looking forward to the first official game.

My Youngling group has not confirmed that the trigger will be pulled on starting the Traveller game, switching over from Stars Without Number (Traveller light, IMO).  I am hoping to get an answer from them soon, otherwise the SWN game will continue until 6/25/2021, another ten sessions.

I have set up my Roll20 page for the game and with the plethora of available content, it looks sharp.

Remember to join me on my Twitch channel (infiniteaaron) every Friday for more RPG goodness.

 And, yes, I have abandoned making my own game system.  I would rather focus on creating a good, immersive rpg game for my players, and Traveller scratches my longest running itch.

I cannot say more good things about Mongoose Traveller 2nd Ed.  Please check it out.  If you purchase the books directly from Mongoose you will also receive the PDF, free of charge.  My ADD would like it to be that they give me access to the PDF on my Drive Thru RPG account so that all of my digital content is in one place, but I will adjust.

Remember...You are never to old to game
