"You realize that there was no New Era, it didn't happen and I refuse to believe it."

Not only that, the rumor that the Emperor has been assassinated is now known to be just an example of "tabloid journalism" at its worst.

Life in the Imperium continues as normal, with none of the events one would associate with the aftermath of an assassination.

OOORAH on the service history... sounds so familiar.
Almost 3/4 of my second term in Uncle Sam's Misguided Children was spent with my squadron attached to a USN carrier air wing.

Favorite Version: Mongoose, mostly because the only other version I've seen was T20

Occupation: Toy store manager

I'm completely new as of today, planning to run a game based on the universe I mentioned above, but I haven't actually played yet. I signed up for the forums here mostly to clear up a few rules clarification questions I have, at least until I get some game-time under my belt.

 

[DarkSaber]

Name: Wayne
Age: 24
Country: United Kingdom (Wales)
Favorite Version: Mongoose on account of it being the only one I own or know about.
Military Service: Nothing outside of computer games.
Occupation: Drifter

How do! I was talked into getting a copy of Mongoose Traveller by a friend on another forum so we could play a PBEM that never happened, so I thought I'd come over to the official home of Traveller to see if I could fix that!

 

[Jame]

Wow, a member who's YOUNGER than me!

 

[saundby]

Howdy, Darksaber! Welcome to the crew.

I'm sure you'll be able to turn up something in the way of a game around here. Not to mention get all sorts of information exploring the place like I've been doing since I joined.

 

[MarianLH]

Name: Marian
Age: not tellin
Country: USA
Favorite Traveller Version: TNE is the only one I have so far
Military Service: none
Favorite Supplement: none yet
Favorite Sector: none yet
Favorite Race: none yet
Favorite Empire: none yet

I've been gaming since 1980, beginning with red book D&D. But I've never played Traveller. I bought TNE when it first came out, enjoyed reading it, but no one else I gamed with was ever interested.

I do a lot of wargaming, mostly BattleTech in the past and some Ogre and WH40K, but in the last year I've started focusing on space games. My current favorite is Star Fleet Battles, and I'm currently eyeing Ad Astra's SITS and Squadron Strike. This led me to Ad Astra's Traveller minatures, which renewed my interest in the Traveller RPG.

Welcome!

There are a number of SFB players in here (Myself included) both present and former. I am in the "Former" crowd, tho' I still have commander's and captain's editions rulebooks and Captain's SSD's. (I just recently tossed my file of Commander's SSD copies.)

Name: Rich
Age: 39
Country: USA (Indiana)
Favorite version of Traveller: Classic Black Box (my only experience)
Military Service: none
Favorite Supplement: n/a
Favorite Sector: n/a
etc...

I'm essentially a n00b, having only played Traveller once back in the 80s. About 2 years ago, I picked up a copy of the black boxed set, and I'm getting tired of looking at it sitting on my shelf, so I'm here to learn more about the game, post-CT editions, etc... Don't know if I'll ever get around to running a campaign, but I'll give it a shot if the opportunity presents itself.

The only other space gaming I do is miniatures: Full Thrust!, using WizKid's Rocketmen ships.

 

[aramis]

Rich: Check out Power Projection (last two items on the following Geeklist: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/20688 )... it's Full Thrust adapted for Traveller use.

And Welcome!

Ahoy! Ok, I've done this before, I'm sure. But I don't hang out here as much as I should, so I think I keep re-upping with a new username...

About me.

[Anthelios]

Name: Ryan
Age: 27
Country: USA, California
Favorite version of Traveller: MGP so far, though I have only perused the others while down at the local gamestore.
Military Service: Does pretending count?
Favorite Supplement: I love the new Spinward Marches book (Read the old one too)
Favorite Sector: Regina for now, but soon to grow my own.
Favorite Race: Good ol' humaniti
Favorite Empire: Not experienced enough yet to say

So, I'm new. I've been posting here for about a week so I figured I'd introduce myself. Picked up Traveller on a whim and I am glad I did. Always been a fan of scifi, and now I found a game that has pretty much everything I love about it. I guess I'm some of the new blood that people have been discussing on the forums here.

I like to create stuff, in just about every way imaginable. To writing code for my own random projects to cooking to writing. So you will probably find a lot of random posts from me scattered about the forum.

Good to see other Arid-zonians around here!
