This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Would any of you guys who posted characters be bothered if I translated them into GURPS stats for use as NPCs in my campaign ?

 I know its not a big deal , maybe ...but I like to ask at least.

Lately I've been trying to come up with customized charts and tables for rolling up G:T Universe NPCs and get a good variety in what I come up with.


Been enjoying reading this thread. Original Classic TRAVELLER was my first RPG when I was a teenager.

Fine with me, Koltar. You need to post some threads about your campaign so we know how its going. Did you ever find a use for my Mithril plothook?

 Um....MAAAY Beee.



 But I got a player who is just computer savvy enough and he's bored enough  - he might find this forum.  (So yeah like I said in a PM ...I tend to stretch out story arcs and plots over at least 8 to 14 sessions)


 Don't laugh - but on this forum I can say some things about my campaign that I can't say on the SJG forums. TWO of my players are registered over there, and I know another lurks on there. Its cool....but I sometimes think of this forum as the one where I can "let my Hair down" so to speak.  Sort of talk to other GMs without wondering who might be looking over my shoulder.

this looks really cool, but i think i'll just follow along and watch for now.  it'll be cool to watch this PbP from the beginning and see what goes on.  i may ask to join in later, down the road.  i'll stay subscribed to this one and look for the corresponding IC/OOC threads to start.  

watch out for those sword worlders--they're pretty antsy

Thank you for asking, Koltar, but I'd really rather you didn't.  You see, the investment I put into my intellectual property is not just in time and effort but also in emotion; I put a lot of love into my craft and --

[Hey, have you finished cribbing Sten yet?  I can only sit here pretend to be a dick for so long, you know.]  

-- therefore it infringes on my very soul.

 Ah I see,.... Then Its a No ?  (He says looking up as his GCA is running and the GT conversion notes are next to him on a table)

 Oh well....at least Me in my leather jacket will now be back-to-back with your Fonzie in Leather Jacket avatar  pic.

Sten is getting tossed through my GCA later this morning. He of course will wind up with the -1 quirk of "Likes to wear pink ties when possible "

Hey, beeber.  Just to show you how easy this can be, I'm drafting you.  Give this character a brief background and see what you can do with them:

Pirate Sergeant 5B7988  Age 30  3 Terms  Cr 61000
Blade Combat-1, Brawling-1, Engineering-1, Gunnery-2,
Leader-1, Ship Tactics-1
Weapon

Belter A99B79  Age 22  1 Term  Cr 0
Electronic-1, Ship's Boat-1, Vacc Suit-1
Travellers', Weapon

Noble Knight 89799B  Age 30  3 Terms  Cr 100000
Jack-o-T-1, Pilot-1, Ship's Boat-2
High Passage, Travellers'

The ship could do with either a gunner or a small craft pilot, though neither is essential.

It's been a very hectic week, but I'll get started very shortly.
