It's been a long while since my previous login on "January 19th, 2013 at 10:19 PM".

Since then, I've survived two heart attacks, a layoff (permanent) of over 50% of my co-workers, a lawsuit against a major lender, jury duty in a criminal case, trips to Israel and the Philippines, and my 60th birthday.

A new game store opened up nearby (Dice House), and it has NOT been taken over by either the M:TG or Warhammer crowds.

My Traveller:SGC campaign finally ended with the last two players being transferred out of CONUS, and their characters retiring to a pleasant, low-tech, rich world designated "P1H-709" (you know it as 'Vanejen').

Life is good.

So, what have I missed?
 
T5.09 was released electronically.

Robject has an intelligible variant of T5 CGen. (Sorry Marc, but I still find large swathes of T5 insufficiently clear)

MGT has gone to a second ed.

Cepheus Engine is to MGT1 and 2 as Pathfinder is to D&D 3 and 4. It's on Drive thru RPG.

Dude, I have no idea who you are... But you rock.
 
Two heart attacks!

Avoided a 50%+ layoff?


Congrats, you have completed ten terms of service.

Now roll for mustering out benefits and get ready to start travelling the star lanes.

Which ruleset? I have CT, MT, and MgT.

How about CT (LBB3)? Let's see ... 2.5 terms as "Other" ... then 1.5 terms in the Navy (no commission ... 5 promotions ... E1 to E6 ... doesn't count) ... half-terms don't count ... then 6 more terms as an "Other" ... that's 2 initial rolls for the first term, 1 for the second, 1 more for the Navy, plus 6 more as "Other" ... total of 10 ... first three rolls on the Cash Table (2 as Other, 1 as Navy), of course ...

<rattlerattlerattle>

6, 3, and 5 ... 50,000 + 10,000 + 20,000 ... that's Cr80,000.

Now for the 7 benefit rolls ... 1 as Navy, 6 as "Other" ...

<rattlerattlerattlerattlerattlerattlerattle>

5, 6, 3, 6, 3, 5, and 2 ... TAS, nothing, +1 EDU, nothing, +1 EDU, nothing, +1 INT.

Older, wiser, wealthier, pleasant accommodations, and not much more.

Ouch and the teller at the bank just laid "This ID expired when I was 11!" on me and her co-worker, but now that doesn't hurt so bad with the feeling of "Crap, I just started my 9th Term!".

Thanks...for nothing. Old fogey. :p

Welcome back!!

I too have been absent since 2013 - though your stretch is months longer and your time away more, er, exciting.

Glad to hear you've hung in there and looking forward to some good Traveller discussions!
