New Scenario for Referees

[chrisaukcam]

Are you a referee looking for a new adventure for your players?

Put together a new scenario for Traveller on my webpage.

Go to http://vandeet.com/travMain.html and go to scenario two.

Also there are helpful online referee's tools, etc. listed here as well.

The pages at your site need a good thorough grooming. The constantly varying font size and color make whatever you've written too annoying to even bother reading.

Once that is done, running the text through a spelling and grammar check would help greatly too.

There could be a pair good scenarios there, but I'm not going bother slogging through the incredibly wonky presentation to find out. I don't think many other people will bother too.

Good luck.

Looks like a good couple of scenarios. I have to agree that the page layout on the second scenario is a little hard on the eyes. Also, it looks like a couple of your tables aren't arranged correctly. If you need a hand with 2d6 tables, I made a little tutorial a while back.

while I find the wonky text distracting it doesn't slow me down, but it will cause many people to stop reading.

had read almost half-way through the first scenario before I could get an idea of what it was about and where it was going. still not sure what the second one is about.

I think what you're doing is trying to involve the reader in a hybrid story/mini-game, where you walk them through the scenario and share each scenario element as it happens. this approach makes for a poorly told story and is annoying to a referee who is trying to figure out what is going on so he knows 1) if it will fit in his game 2) if he wants to run it and 3) how to run it.

try this. 1) a paragraph describing the general background and what is going on, stated clearly and up-front (allows the referee to decide if he can use this). 2) a paragraph or two explaining the expected course of the story, stated clearly and up-front (allows the referee to decide whether he wants to use this). 3) a list of important characters, their descriptions and motivations and stats (assists the referee in using this). 4) any deckplans, layouts, etc needed to set and run the story (assists the referee in using this).

this gives the game referee what he needs, without him having to wade through the story itself.
