Over on Bluesky, someone posted a pic of a #TravellerRPG Free Trader, but in pink.

A long long time ago, I played a very burnt-out scout named Capt. Hari Smythe-Collins. He didn't realize he was the captain of this ship for a few days, until the rest of the crew (mostly other ex-scouts) informed him that as the best pilot, he was in charge.

Well, okay then.

Jumps got dull. Inevitably, the prank wars began. Our ship had some fun tech. We could change the color and pattern of the hull for some reason. Well, Hari could. He was the captain.

So he made the ship purple.

The entire ship.

Inside and out, the clothes, the food, what was left of his hair, you name it.

The one non-ex-scout was a Zhodani named Flak. Flak decided, rather understandably, that the captain had gone insane. So Flak "adjusted" Hari and arranged a much lower stress job for him to do.

Hari regained consciousness on a highport, working at a food stand, selling Happy Orange Surprise, and repeating, "Would you like fries with that?" over and over.

Flak had shaved off all Hari's hair, and his eyebrows. (So they would grow back in their natural color, of course.)

The rest of the crew finally retrieved Hari, who was not very happy at all about the loss of his eyebrows. He drew them back with a yellow highlighter, and did not speak to Flak for several weeks.

In the end, it was great fun. Hari would do it again in a heartbeat.

The Deepnight Revelation continues its journey across uncharted space. Looking to stock up on supplies, it runs into food on a type of world where food isn't normally found.

New Episode. #TravellerRPG https://www.safcocast.com/safcocast-40-perpetual-traveller/

The hatch hisses open, but it’s not the rescue squad stepping through the steam. You see this creature, staring right at you. What do you do?

There is a part of a #TravellerRPG that will never stop being amusing to me. Law Level and Weapons. Every other stuff is basically rational. But when it comes to weaponry you need to be Law Level 8-9 (basically the most strict stuff that also restricts basic supplies) to meet laws of any modern stable democracy. Besides the US.

Banning shoutguns is basically equivalent to banning radios and TVs and widespread censorship XD

Session 0 of the #JägermeisterAdventure tonight.

Four characters rolled up, and a motley working-class crew of bounty hunters assembled. @TheTweedmeister nearly died in character generation (twice). @eladrin is really the only professional bounty hunter in the team!

Pushed out v0.12.3 of Mongoose Traveller for FoundryVTT. Some back end changes, plus:
* More spacecraft tokens, to complete the list of ships in the core book.
* Spacecraft sheet now splits equipment into different sections for easier finding.
* Option to override some of enforced rules when building spacecraft.

We were down a couple of Players today, but used it as an opportunity!

Three slightly inebriated members of the Blackwell's crew spent a couple hours in the Regina Highport Space Combat Simulator.

Much hilarity ensued, and two pirate corvettes were dispatched!

The Deepnight Revelation discovers that the Biologicals have evolved Stage Trees, and accidentally set off a small forest's worth of infected trees towards the Imperium.

More #sci-fi color experiments

Our Deepnight Revelation campaign continues (I think this is the 160th session, not including the sessions before the mission started).

The crew have found the wreck of a Droyne spacecraft, on a world where the Biologicals and Entity are battling each other for dominance.

The Droyne have left a message and a warning in case anyone finds them.

#Traveller players and GMs, what's your favorite Traveller book aside from the basic rulebook for the various editions, and why?

Another session of our Traveller campaign, as the crew of the Deepnight Revelation find evidence of dangerous infections across a new sector of space.

It's been a long while since I've published anything on DriveThru due to working on FoundryVTT. I've had this sitting in a state of 'mostly done' for a long while.

Finally found time in the last week to get it finished, edited, uploaded and published. A design, operations manual and deck plans for a 4,200t Freighter for Mongoose Traveller.

Deck plans are at 128px and 256px resolution for use in a VTT. Or just use it on a tabletop.

Another episode of my development diary series for Mongoose Traveller on FoundryVTT. I go over some of the new features, and discuss some plans for the future.

I haven't had much to post here, because work and low energy have kept me from playing much. Today I spent some time on a project that's been simmering in my skull for a while: taking the classic #TravellerRPG rules (Books 1-3) and play a solitaire merchant campaign. My theory is that it wouldn't take long before I wanted to add Merchant Prince for more options, among other things.

The first thing I've learned is that it's bloody difficult to organically roll up a character who gets a free trader as a mustering out benefit. It requires a merchant character or high rank, which means a high INT and lucky rolls. My dice do not want any of these characters to be intelligent.

Perhaps PC ownership of the free trader is out, and they should just be employees of the actual owner for now. I could spend a lifetime rolling up characters, trying to get just the right one. Better to get on with it.
