Inaugural
Name: Michael
Age: 32
Country: Vancouver, Canada
Favorite version of Traveller: Just bought T5, my first Traveller book! C'mon, it looked pretty cool, how could I not.
Military Service: None. Respek though.
Favorite Adventure: Any Recommendations? Or maybe I'll just put down the influences I plan on using IMTU... say for example Fifth-Element, Firefly, Dune, Foundation, H2G2, Known Space, Orion's Arm, Honor Harrington, Culture, Hyperion Cantos... Twilight Imperium, A Mind Forever Voyaging, Elite, Nexus: the Jupiter Incident? Homeworld 2? Want to avoid Trek/Wars kind of feel and go for something... else. Dirtier?
Favorite Sector: Spinward March stories sound like they'd be very cool. Early contact OTU would be good stories.
Favorite Race: I dunno about the official races yet, save that they're pretty Nivenesque. The T5 book random alien maker is pretty cool IMO, made a couple of my buds roll up sophonts and the results are usually pretty hilarious. Nobody wants to play a human.
Favorite Empire: I think the Terran Confederation time period would have some damn fine stories... but I'd probably rather build my own empire?
Started Playing Traveller: TBD!
Most upsetting point in Canon: I have no idea! But I've been reading through the historical write-ups and OTU timeline and from what I've seen I think I'm a little disappointed that in the expanded universe things didn't get a little crazier? Like, after so many thousands of years things shouldn't be so familiar and equivalent to past empires. No nebulous nanotech emergent intelligences that use pulsar radiation neural networks spanning a quarter of the galaxy holding biological sophonts as pets? Or as an immune system? Things could be a little more out there, maybe.
Anyway! Hey all. Pleasure to meet you.
