Beyond The Frontier - A Mongoose (mostly) Traveller campaign online

Beyond The Frontier

It is the year 1323 Imperial, the Golden Age lies two hundred years in the past, two hundred years as well since the first wave of colonists; refugees from the shattered Imperium, began to settle in the Spinward Hinters and beyond The Frontier. From the time of the rebellion to the coming of the virus, other waves of colonist have come, the Solomani fleeing the doom that came to all charted space, and the Zhodani fleeing their Consulate sundered upon the Empress Wave and the assault of The Black Ships. The same Black Ships on the horizon, now menacing the New Frontier…

On Banderhue (Ban-Der-Way), a T-Prime world in Banderhue subsector, Theta Borealis sector; a University of Terrelay Research and Exploration Expedition is forming; searching for a way to save their Republic and new allies to aid them. Citizens of all walks of life have assembled to journey with the Expedition, pooling their skills for success, many looking for adventure of the unknown. It is well, for adventure abounds in the worlds Beyond The Frontier.

This is a play by post game using the Classic Traveller rules system.

A few pertinant facts are: I am 44, so it will be more of a mature game (younger players are welcome though), not hack and slash and I will probably put a time limit on posts for action, such as a few days or a week, so as to not keep everyone waiting. Other than that, just about any character type would be interesting, barring only two, no K'kree or Hiver.

You can contact me at:

or sign up at obsidian portal and send me a message.

Cheers,

Im still trying to sort out the site, is there an automated character generator or do you want us to roll one up and add the results to the site?

 

[Dragoner]

No, you roll a character up just like usual, pen and paper style from the old days. Then you can edit the character, add your stats to it; it is just a template of TAS Form 2 I made for the website.

 

[Fritz_Brown]

Have you begun? Are you using the advanced CT generation? (would MT work?)

 

[Dragoner]

Oops! I just saw this. I'm not as familiar with MT chargen, however I am using the advanced chargen, or or Bk1/S4 with adding skills per term (character choice) to make up the difference. There are spots still available, espcially for another security team member ala Book 4 Mercenary or pick one from veterans supplement or a Zhodani.

My apologies for the tardiness of a reply.

Wouldn't this be a TNE campaign, not a CT?

Looks like he's using CT rules in a post-TNE setting...

Interesting point - what defines a campaign the most, the ruleset or the background? That is, are you more likely to say "we're playing a TNE campaign. (Oh, by the way, we'll be using CT rules.)" or would you advertise it as "It's a CT game!! And I'm gonna set it after 1300"??

No, I am using CT, even 1248 was made using CT.

CT has the most players and TNE changed quite a bit with 1248, which used the CT rules, this campaign is OTU, just carried on 75 years. I will probably switch to Mongoose once Don is done with his update, which also has a lot of players. T5 is interesting, but unlikely to be finished anytime soon.

And speaking as a player in the game, it's *fun* so far. And we've only got a couple of jumps under our belts.

Thanks, I'm having fun as well; it is great stress relief, going to post in the campaign and the day's troubles disappear at least for a little bit.

This is still open to Fritz or anybody else if they are interested, just wanted to get it on this page.

 

[Fritz_Brown]

Ooh. I missed your reply to my post. Glad I saw this! I will take a swing at a LBB4 character.

(The MT chargen is really just a cleaned up and slightly expanded CT. The advanced MT is a little more streamlined, I think. Would you mind a Law Enforcement type? I can email after I get it put together.)

 

[Dragoner]

No, I don't mind a law enforcement type, they might work in the security team, though I would like someone with heavy weapons skill to handle the Gauss LMG. The thing to do is to get registered on Obsidian Portal, as well as email me at king13cuda at yahoo dot com, so we can work out you having all the maps and other details. Pictures are good also, if you can't think of one, let me know and I'll help.

Welcome Aboard!

Cheers,
Rob

 

[Dragoner]

Still open for a couple of regular posting players.

 

[Fritz_Brown]

Unfortunately, RL and other things have kept me thoroughly distracted.
Good luck on filling your gaps.

 

[Dragoner]

Thanks! Yes, no problem about RL stuff, I know it gets in the way.

 

[VonPickles]

Do I need a dice roller prog to play? I'm GMT+8 will that hamper play? As I've never played a pbm what's the general jist? Oops should of asked first is there any pozzys left?

 

[Dragoner]

The obsidian portal site, follow the link in my signature, has a dice roller. How we play is pretty well layed out in the adventure logs. If you want to join in the game, you need to register and then send me a message there.

Cheers
