hirch feels he has been victim of an unfair trade along the lines of swapping a small galaxy worth of stars for a mere pocket empire . hirch has used too much drug in the past and does not trust people easily . hirch refers to himself in the third person when he gets REALLY stressed .
wanna buy the contents of this small bag ? we could discuss it over dinner .

Hirch, you have my sympathy on the cruelty of Life, the Universe and Everything. Nothing that I can do about it, though.

Stars for those who served their nation with honor (so long as it wasn't attacking the U.S.), but I don't know if I can go invest.

Favorite sector: Spinward Marches
Favorite race: Aslan
Favorite Book: High Guard or Scouts from CT (I also use First In and Far Trader from GT alot)

A lot of folks have listed a favorite adventure, but I can't really answer that one as I prefer to write my own. I will say that the Linkworlds mini-campaign posted on CotI looks promising, though I haven't had the chance to run it in full yet.

Name: Jeff Rients
Age: 29
Country: usa
Favorite version of Traveller: Classic Traveller
Favorite Suppliment: Supplement 4 - Citizens of the Imperium
Favorite Sector: Spinward Marches, though I also have a soft spot for the Islands Clusters

Unlike most CT players I've encountered, I only really started playing the game in the FFE reprint era. Prior to the big floppy books, I once played in a horrible session at one of the last Frontier Wars held in Bloomington. (The ref's best friend was allowed to bring his campaign PC into the game. His UPP had no numbers. I swear you could pronounce it!) I generated a T4 PC for Don McKinney back when he was trying to sell his Milieu 0 campaign idea, but I never played the guy.

Now hear I am, decades behind the curve, making survival rolls and building little Book 2 spaceships. Of course, I still play Basic/Expert D&D, so what the heck.
