>>48594632
Of course he has

>>48594674
What kind? Univerity, or Military Academy?

>>48594697
Denglebert probably partied a lot, and went to University. And then Partied a lot.

Here's for psionics

>>48594963
Sadly, Denglebert's dreams of space wizardry are crushed by Mr. Alcublierre, an arrogant, boorish professor with some frankly suspect conclusions. Roll 2d6 + Medic 1 or Electronics 0 to attempt to disprove his theories.

>>48595009
Let's stick it to the man, man!

Rolled 6, 3 + 1 = 10 (2d6 + 1)

>>48595026

Rolled 3, 6 + 1 = 10 (2d6 + 1)

>>48595009
I guess use Medic 1, since we're more likely to disprove him.

Mr. Alcublierre proposed methods for the treatment of acute spatio-paralysis in shipboard cattle are obviously foolish and I can prove it.

>>48595070
>>48595048
The man has thoroughly had it stuck to

>>48595048
>>48595070
It completely devourers his free time, but eventually Denglebert presents his findings, completely overturning Mr. Alcublierre's bullshit "study." He becomes a much more experienced medic because of it, but Alcubilerre will not forget this insult.
Roll 2d6 to graduate.

Rolled 6, 6 = 12 (2d6)

Not only does Denglebert graduate, he does so with flying colors. The Sphere is his oyster, and it's time to pick a career.

>>48595594
Choose from:
Agent, Army, Citizen, Drifter, Entertainer, Marine, Merchant, Navy, Noble, Rogue, Scholar, Scout

>>48595756
I'd say Marines support, using his commission roll from graduating. He wants to be a medical officer

Anyhow I've been browsing Traveller stuff on Ebay and got wondering how classic Traveller stacks up compared to it's more modern versions? Any particular pros and cons you all can think of off hand?

Denglebert graduated with honours, so +2 to edu and medic 2, electronics 1

And do we not get another for making the commission?

>>48596550
On the first term, you get all the skills in Service Skills at level 0, and don't make any skill rolls.
You may, however, make an EDU+2 advancement roll because I forgot about the comission and I'm sorry.

During a particularly deadly shootout with a rebel craft, a railgun shot pierced the hull, ripping the ship to shreds. Of the escape pods jettisoned, Denglebert's was the only survivor. His pride was shattered. His crew, dead. But Denglebert would not give up that easily. Make an END roll.

So far this guy has gone from backwards, space flea herder hick to Lt. Badass, combat medic.

Are marine captains actually captains? I thought it was just a rank.

Maybe given his roughshod history, the Blade o' Bluegrass might be better?

Surely he's just the captain of the marine division?

I vote The Niddhog in any case

>>48597306

Following from the first suggesting, and since he's a Marine, not proper Navy.

(and of course Captcha asked about pictures with grass)

>>48597310
This, so hard.

He's a space marine, they get ships and are marines. Blade of Bluegrass it is. Now, will Dinglebert stay a lieutenant, or will he take another career?

A whole ship seems a bit much, but we'll roll with it. Jump-Mobile Assault Lander. Bad Ass In A Can.

He's a captain now ain't he?
And aye, I think something different for our flea-herder

In addtion to my regular training, Force Commander Decelles has been giving me tactical simulations. Most of them seem unbeatable. Over time, I'm learning. I'm learning who the highest value targets are, and how to deploy my troops. I'm learning how to deploy ambushes. I'm learning which of my men are essential to my group, and who I can let die.
...Christ. When did I become a killer?
Gain Tactics 1.

I currently have the following skills listed

Medical-2, Advocacy-1, Electronics-1, Leadership-1, Gun Combat-1, Tactics-1
Animal-0, Athletics-0, Vacc Suit-0, Heavy Weapons-0, Stealth-0

It feels like I'm missing at least one. Do promotions still give a skill *roll* in MGT2? If so, we may be short one or two skills.

We've rolled up a shipborne medical officer, from the (space) Deep South, who appears to by very much ruled by their conscience.

>>48597849
Don't think so. I'm assuming Denglebert is going to retire?

>>48597874
"Retirement" used to require five terms, but Captain Jones is pretty wrung out and needs a change.

>>48597895
Oh riiight if we want a pension we need 5 terms in marine I think?

>>48597874
So. On to the Mustering Out, then?

>>48597911
Well I guess we're in for one more then huh?

>>48597911
Maybe that's the impetus for taking up adventuring? He just can't do another term, so he signs on as the Medical Officer on a Free Trader to make ends meet

>>48597911
I think he's ripe already.

Not that Retirement is worth a lot of cash. Can we "arrange" a TAS membership? That's better than any retirement.

>>48597912
Aye lad, should have a good few benefit rolls

>>48597912
Indeed. You have 4 rolls. Divide them into Money and Other Benefits.

>>48597944
Four, by prior rules. Three for Terms served (Uni doesn't count) and one more for rank attained.

>>48597941
It's a possibility on the benefit rolls, so we'll see sure

>>48597975
2 in each sound fair gentlemen?

>>48597975
The old school approach was to take all the cash rolls you could and use whatever was left over on Material Bennies. Not sure that's what we want for the good Captain, here. Two and two?

>>48597975
I vote 1 for money, 3 for other

>>48598003
Rolling for first cash and first other. May as well spread the luck around

>>48598005
I think losing even most of the troops he lands with in the BoBG will be enough to break him. The realization that he cannot save everyone will end his career, and maybe having the BoBG not be flyable after a nasty landing will be the last straw.

>>48598042
Just a standard d6 for Mustering Out Benefits.

>>48598060
So Cash 6, and Material Bennies 2

>>48598060
I know, I was rolling for 2.

Battle of Orbona
During the infamous Battle Of Orbona, Jones' ship, the Blade O' Bluegrass, was hit by a railgun shell fired from an artillery emplacement. Only Jones and twenty of his men managed to drop in time. Although reduced to less than a quarter of their maximum strength, the men under Jones' command managed to capture an essential enemy stronghold. Afterwards, Jones was admitted to psychiatric care.

>>48598267
Cont'd
In writing to Force Commander Decelles, his therapist says: "He accepts the deaths of his comrades unnaturally fast..... [Jones] is either completely healed or far beyond our help...."

A week later, Jones resigned. He booked passage on a small Far Trader for one of the outer systems, and was never seen again.

I don't have a book on me but why don't we stat a whole crew? It will be fun.

Why not, sadly I don't have the new edition and the team should use the same rules in my opinion.

>>48598948
>>48599008
Do we reckon Denglebert would be Captain or Medical Officer?
Of course it all depends on the rest of the crew, but which way are we leaning at the minute?

If this is still alive in ~6 hours I'll do some writefaggotry, if anyone's interested in that.

>>48601219
I know that my group has had a history of strong-willed ship's Doctors with unusual pasts,

I'm more inclined to use Captain "Den" Jones in his current form rather than hanging even more NPC crew around him.

>>48597306

Imperial Marines are transported by the Imperial Navy, but Denglebert could be with some local planetary government inside the Imperium, or with some non-Imperium power whose marines are different.

>>48602648
He's been involved in black ops. He may have been "in command" of a smaller assault ship meant to deliver he and his Marines but with Navy bridge and engineering crew.

>>48602728

That's a solid point, actually. I didn't think about the black ops angle.

>>48601656
Expressing interest.

>>48601656
Bumping for Denglebert writefaggotry.

>>48601656
Bumping as well

>>48601219
Further question: What is his preferred variety of alcohol?

How does the new edition compare to the old one? I know it has university and jail terms, which is neat. Anything else notably different?

>>48604608
There's a new mechanic called Boon and Bane which is basically just advantage from 5th ed, and the art and graphical design have been improved.

>>48601656
Keepin' the legend alive.

>>48604591
Scotch Whiskey's what I'd say.
One of his prized posessions (apart from his Banjo) is a box of genuine Campbeltown whisky, one of the few bottles left in known space.
He's saving it for a special occasion, and makes do with Extra-Solar Scotch in the meantime. It isn't quite the same as the real thing though

>>48604591
Rye whiskey

>>48604591
Bourbon or Rye if he's supposed to be a consummate 'good ol' boy' type of guy.
I mean, he plays the banjo, gotta go whole hog on this, yeah?

>>48601656
plz anon

>>48605332
Maintaining thread in hope of writefaggotry.

>>48598311
What was the Free Trader he booked passage with called?

>>48602728
What were his marines called, anyway?

>>48606740
Dirty Bert's Deadly Dozen

Alright guys, writefag here finally off of work.

What part of Denglebert's story do you want me to write about?

His studious years at university, where he fought against perfidious professors?

His early years as a medic in the marines, and his narrow survival during a boarding action at the Battle of Montgomery IX? The subsequent assault and occupation?

Being the sole survivor of an engagement with rebel ships, watching the ship break apart and crewmen vent into the abyss as he slowly floated away in an escape pod?

His black ops raid on a secret laboratory, and his struggle to cope with the loss of his men? His time as captain of the Blade of Bluegrass? Once again surviving the destruction of his squad to an errant grenade?

Something else?

Hey, you write what you want. That was my understanding from the beginning.

>>48606652

Precious Argo. Captain Meyer was going to call it Precious Cargo as a nod to his adopted daughter, but his first mate pointed out that it might attract the interest of pirates, who are none too bright. Thus he dropped the C from the name.

>>48606652
The Free Trader Carrhae.
The irony is lost on Jones

>>48607084
bump

>>48607169
what the fuck is that space marine doing

>>48608866

>"Attach the safety line to your suit, they said.""
>"But nooo, you were too cool for that, weren't you?"
>"Oh, Look at me, I've got a cool grav belt, and don't need some sissy safety line."
>"Stupid shoddy grav belt."

>"Welp, guess I'm waiting for rescue."

>>48609014
He dropped *far* too early.

This was the first filk I'd ever listened to, still have a soft spot for it
Moll and Jed, never forget

>>48609344
Who give without counting the cost

>>48607084
Any progress, anon?

>>48609646
And if any old shipmates should ask after moll
Just tell 'em, she finally died clean

Ivan, it appears there is... condensation collection in my visor

>>48607084
If you haven't started your writing my vote goes to his early years as a medic, but I'm pumped for anything

>>48607084
I'd love to see the Battle of Montgomery IX, but it's your writefaggotry.

>>48607084
Any progress?

Does anyone here have either the central supply catalogue or high guard for mongoose second edition?

>>48609344
Filk?

>>48622852

A mix of the terms "sci fi" and "folk." Creating filk music is a traditional nerd hobby going back many decades to early SF conventions.

>>48621976
I've been searching this last while and turned up blank. CSC is definitely out, but High Guard is still at pre-order. No-one seems to have the playtest docs though

>>48622852
Fictious folk (I think at least?). It's the genre that stuff like Carmen Miranda's Ghost and Leslie Fish's stuff are in

>>48622852
>>48623153
Just for reference, here's the filk equivalent of Wonderwall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH8lvwXx_Y8

>>48607084
I'd like Black Ops, but honestly I'm excited for whatever

>>48623205
Thanks for linking this, anon. I have a new favorite genre.

>>48626277
It's funny, I remember I found that stuff in the old spacer superstition thread a year or so back.
A new one pops up every now and again. and it's generally a good time

Did we determine whether we were going to roll the rest of the crew of the Carrhae?

>>48628767

Probably not for this thread. There's more where this came from, though.

>>48631170
Indeed. Hope writing anon makes an appearance in the next thread.

Bumping. When this thread dies I'll make a Traveller general.
