I believe Morvith did as well.

@Ythgar: I've already suggested a connection with Walter. I assume my university experience was in a college at the University of Regina, and we both have the "political movement" event. I think you have a term more than me and therefore were leaving college as I was going in, but maybe yo...

p.s. The Term 4 aging roll is subject to a -4 Term Count DM...no effect even so. The aging roll in term 5 is subject to a -5 Term Count DM. That's not "Fine"! And the roll for the end of term 6 is now needed (with a -6 DM). That year end party may yet have put paid to your back permanentl...

Ekene Orjee Scholar and sometime-agent of Imperial Intelligence At the end of Term 6, Ekene has had a short but successful academic career in xenology, even winning a major prize for his research, but he itched to do hands-on research, and hooked up with a friend from university who worked in the S...

Considering whether to go for Term 7 (I'm sure I probably will) But: Walter - 679BC6 Astro-3; Pilot(Spacecraft)-3; Pilot(Small Craft)-1; Electronics(comms)-1; Medic-2; Recon-2; Stealth-2; Survival-0; Mechanic-0; VaccSuit-0; GunCbt-0 OK, if you're looking at Term 7, I'm definitely not stopping at 4!...

Stina Orjee (female)
Esben Orjee (male)

She is fighting to get their surnames changed to Laake, and will presumably be successful if (when, really) she gains full custody.

I was thinking Ekene Orjee as a name. As far as the missing skill, I thought you either got Basic Training OR a term skill, and that only getting 1 skill in Basic Training (instead of all 6) was the price of changing careers. If you normally do get to roll on that, I'll gladly do so. Loving all the ...

Awesome stuff! I'll add it to my sheet. I'm not sure if I missed a roll or not, but I'll double-check. I used the DM +1 on my first Benefit roll--it bumped it from a 1 to a 2 (but that ended up being very helpful, actually, since it bumped by EDU up to 15!) As far as the relationship I haven't thoug...

I've just finished the 3rd term (including university), and am considering having this strange researcher getting picked up by Imperial Intelligence and given rudimentary tradecraft training.

Those who have avidly read the Traveller Wiki might have noted that the Detached Duty Office includes "Imperial Intelligence"...Or am I just messing?

Now I'm tempted to throw over all the Scholar rolls to pursue a career as an Agent!

I think Pilot is a natural complement to Astrogation. I'm leaning toward a Scholar at this point, but depending on rolls, perhaps we met in University. I'm thinking a brilliant scholar who ends up abandoning lab work for field research, and is happy to have a friend in the Scout Service to let his h...

So I got some pretty good rolls (a 12 and an 11). This character might be an excellent pilot, or a scientist (Scholar/Field Researcher) or comms expert. Heck, they could be a retired marine starting a second career.

Do we have any ideas what we intend to do after campaign start?

My understanding (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!) is that you only need to qualify when you switch into a career, or (depending on the career) if you want to switch specialties inside a career. Otherwise, the only thing stopping you from taking another term is the Survival roll and random events....

Morvith looks about the grove. "Well. I hope we can come back here soon. I would like to explore what lies beyond that doorway, as well as the Gash."

I'd be interested in playing--I've never actually played Traveller, but I have MgT2e and love the character creation and setting.

From 10 am to 9pm it snowed here. I'm no expert, but at times it was coming down so hard you couldn't see through it. The snow was mostly very small flakes...what is called powder, I believe...mixed with large flakes. My biggest worry was the roof. Our buildings down here have roofs with flatter an...

Morvith shakes out an empty sack and gets to work as well, casting glances toward the doorway from time to time.

That is crazy. We had almost 10" where I am, which is a lot for Northern Virginia, but not as out-of-place as Texas or Florida! Still, it's remained below freezing for a long time.
