1) You're reading a news article about 'Drone Strikes' and your first response is 'Drones wouldn't go on strike, they're too dedicated to the needs of the Oytrip.'
You know you've been playing Traveller too long when
- Thread starter Peter Newman
- Start date
my first thought on seeing this was "Who stole the children of the Oytrip?"

Hoo-boy, my Traveller OCD goes into overdrive when I'm in a building with easily counted floor and/or cieling tiles. By the way, the building I live in is about 96 tons.

You time the conception-events of your children so that their birthdays coincide with that of Marc W. Miller.
You shut off the radio and air-conditioning in your car, and dim its headlights before "jumping" onto the freeway.
You purchase one of those GPS navigator devices for the expressed purpose of avoiding a "misjump".
Your fishing boat is named "Beowulf".
You meet someone really "hot", and your first thought is, "I just gotta find out where they are concealing the body pistol!"
... your second thought is, "I really gotta add this one to my patrons list!"

Children?:rofl:
Yes, children. Mandatory for playing K'Kree, and rules for humans and vargr children in TD, tho' I forget which issue.

Children?
How else are you going to simulate the activities of your average chirper?
The time to be concerned about what a chirper (or a child) is up to is when you can't see them!

yeesh,
one of my players and her husband(a former player) in my F2F game once said that having kids was not gonna effect their ability to game(and do SCA).
I reminder her of that when two of my other players made the hour plus trip in the weather that was this weekend in NJ and she called up to say her youngest had sprained her ankle and she did not feel she could leave the child alone with dad as that would be too much of an imposition on her husband...
(FYI: He left the game when he lost his job and had to change schedules, before which they were alternating who would come to play and who would stay home with the kids)

I started statting up characters during a movie.
I routinely pick out info on travel times in SF TV and film and ask myself how the story would be handled if they were using Trav FTL/comms rules. What's interesting is that the shows where they try to be most specific, rather than sidestepping or arm-waving it all, drive me the craziest. I can hardly contain myself while watching B5, frex, as the inconsistancies in its own system leap out at me when I do this. My family appreciates when I withhold my expostulations, so I do--usually.

All these I see of not playing Traveller enough...those who play delight in all this fanboy stuff but have moved on to seriously designing starships, campaigns and the converting the Traveller Adventure/Knightfall into Screenplays and awaiting response from TV studios for the next best thing - Survivor OTU...any number of Hostile Worlds await...
I would post more but my Internet rights have been suspended...by the hospital authorities...
