Archdukes and emperors are beyond the normal scope of play

[Maksim-Smelchak]

It's a TAS book over at Drive-Thru.

OK, it's one of the new ones with New Traveller.

Thank you, Shawn!

I think the Wiki is wrong- it definitely isnt a Mongoose novel - just a TAS scenario which I wrote and was published by March Harrier Press under the Mongoose free license.

I will be fascinated to read your review Shawn- please post a link when you publish.

Mucho gracias.

Not a novel. A campaign game. At least to me it is. A mini-one.

I'll do a video.

Disagree. Just because the S score warrants a title doesn't mean the character gets the title...it's easy to just make the PC an heir, and not necessarily the next heir in line at that.


{EDIT} <sigh> - realizes the board self-necromanced another older thread...gotta love the way you hit current posts and it says someone posted "today" and it turns out to be four months ago.

Yeah, whenever someone votes in a poll it shows up in the "New Posts" list as if it was a post, not a vote.

 

[Shadow Shack]

Ah, so that's what's going on. I'd wondered about that in the past...thanks!

not necessarily...

what came to mind when I saw this is that interpersonal conflict happens all the time. There can be soap opera darma at any social level, Dune is a classic example.

Just to cite an example...my current game has a player with a five term Scout boasting a SS-12 score. Obviously someone who spent a couple decades galavanting around the Spinward Marches hasn't been baron-ing at his homeworld for a while, so I whipped up a back story: His father is the former Baron of a world who serves as an advisor to the current baron. He had three children (or 'baronets'...which is the title the PC has) - an older daughter that is MIA in the Imperial Navy, the scout in the middle, and a younger son who has assumed the mantle of his bureaucrat mother's family business. Even if any of them held any desire to assume barony, dad is no longer the reigning baron...the only legacy left is the business and that already has a protege at the helm.

The point being, it doesn't take much slipping twixt the lip and a cup for higher letter grade scores either.

The Musketeer Athos springs to mind...

I've got to say..
Not only do I disagree...
....If you read my on line monthly posts, you will see I have had Arch Duke Norris play parts.

Yes, you do have to use them as a Patron but...
