Playing Traveller: Do's and Don'ts.

[Trent]

Just to balance out my running traveller thread, I now present a thread on playing traveller do's and don'ts.


DO: Have at least a grasp of the basic traveller universe and technology so you don't try to "beam down" to a planet.

DON'T: Start a "Malcolm Reynolds clone" as a character. If you do that around me I will kill your character.

Do try random generation.
Do let the character "speak to you"
Do Try to play the character you rolled, not the concept you didn't.

Don't worry about balance... it's illusory anyway, so the different ability characters make for very interesting play issues.
