Free Trader Víðarr checking in...

Forgot to introduce myself earlier, but that's easy enough to rectify.

Been involved in roleplaying games and war-gaming since childhood... but that for me means early nineties. Was introduced to Traveller during a "retro" gaming day at the comic store and was hooked. Decades before Firefly, I was captain of the Free Trader Vidarr (named after the Norse god of vengeance, I was fourteen at the time :o) and leading a lovable band of rogues on adventures and bad trading speculation :p

After university, I lost the time & contacts to indulge in my geeky vice. Just over a decade later my eldest son asks me to run some games for him. Combine that with having received the Honor Harrington series for Christmas and we skipped past the D&D 4th Edition (MMO with dice :rolleyes:) straight to the Mongoose Traveller PDF's.

Of course, then I saw the Kickstarter for and had to get in on that and eagerly awaiting the delivery (sadly next year now).

For what it's worth, I'm a computer nerd for a living (GIS software development for iOS/Android) and so it's almost guaranteed that I'll be putting together something to make my Traveller games easier. I'll put what I can up for everyone to use :)
 
So-called "resume" posted. Personally, I think all the cool kids are posting their entire lives up for identity thieves on social media. Us old farts (says the 32 year old) are somewhat more hesitant ;)

You might be right.
