Mongoose Traveller players and GM needed.

As the title says i'm looking to play a game of Traveller i have the core and a lot of the supplements. I'm on GMT +1 and i'm free Sunday afternoon and all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Anyone else want to play or run a game?

Oh this is just perfect, I have been thinking about starting a game on Tuesdays and I have been wanting to run Mongoose Traveller for a while now. I would be very much up for playing or GMing. I am in GMT+1 (Think GMT+2 now during summer time. One hour ahead of UK time.)

Awesome what time Tuesdays?

I would be up for Traveller on Tuesdays. I'm EST but usually available during the day on Tuesdays, so your time zones shouldn't be a problem for me. 

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for Traveller Tuesday (I'm GMT+1)

Oh one thing i need to be clear about voice only i can't do video.

I would like to run it at 19:00 UK time. It would be voice not video.

That works for me. Edit: Are 3 players enough or do you want to try for a few more?

That time should work for me most Tuesdays. Are you contemplating an open ended campaign?

I'm free Tuesday evenings after work. 6PM est us at the earliest.

3 players work I would prefer 4 players. It would be a sandbox game with plots and stories based on what kind of group is made. So there is not need for me to plan for a mercenary game if you are explorers or traders. But that is for later. So a open world and depending on what you decided to do I will weave stories and plots around it.

7pm UK time is good for me :)

I'm EST, but I stay up all night. I've run Mongoose Traveller for years, and multiple (though short) campaigns here on Roll20.  GMT 7PM Works for me. What kind of characters would we be generating?

James how does staying up all night help if the game is set to start at 2 O'clock in the afternoon EST? And sorry Host but starting that late at EST means starting at 11pm or midnight for the rest of us.

Well the stay up all night, was just an unrelated statement. But I did say 7PM UK works for me. 2 PM EST works for me.  The trick is  UK / US groups usually don't mesh the times well.  Normally it's me running at 2 PM for 7 PM UK.  How I usually have done it is say, what days/  times, then people apply.  If the core group is GMT / GMT +1 (esp. whoever is GMing) then fit that. I can fit that since I'm retired.  

So we have 4 players (Me, James, Steve and Al) do we start making our characters now?

As a group, I'm always up for Scouts, or the hard luck freighter / Free trader meme.  I'm not looking for bank robbers, pirates. Troubleshooters who do dangerous things, chased by corporations, is cool, sure. But not just  "Blow shit up, flee the port, arrive new world, blow more shit up, rinse, repeat." No thanks. Something with a vision, not D&D in Space.  That's how I got into Traveller in the first place, the vision of 10,000 worlds. looking up into the night sky and thinking "I want to go there." Whether we are all scouts or traders or a mix of an army  soldier, a Marine, a noble and some scholarly researcher, whatever, but These usually work better with some sort of theme, like a TV show.  Not 4 guys at random.

Erzrig, If you are open to running this, I'd like to either meet with you via the game server or skype or something and start getting a character group pulled together. I have run Traveller a lot and the biggest problem is the sandbox takes a while to set up, if you are going to have more than a few worlds.  But If you are not having the time due to your IT job, then I can run this.  My style is very serious, very hard core. as you say death is around the corner.  But I won't run it if you want to.  I am moving away in Middle of January, Tuesday the 19th, to Southeast Asia from the US.  But I am willing to adapt my schedule to the group once I get there. I will have to skip November 17th Tuesday as I have a dental appointment.

Is everyone else okay with starting next Tuesday (the 27th)? We can spend the first session making our characters and sorting out the ship. If Erzig doesn't come back James can run the game.

Ok with me. I'll plan to be around then. 1900 GMT 27 Oct. 

Never played Traveller but I am interested in learning. I see you have 4 players so if one cant show up for whatever reason, Id be interested in filing in. Thanks

I have the books but I've never had the chance to play.  Would love to.

I will be there at 7pm (UK) on the 27th

Okay sounds good, I'll throw together  a server on roll20, for the 27th, but hoping Erzrig can make it, as GM. If not, I will run it.

4, 5 , 6 players is okay. I have run groups of more than that, various games.  I'll get a server up in a few hours, send you guys links.

Yay looking forward to it

Still hoping Erzrig might reappear, but  pressing on. Sent Link to Eric S Steve H Mark E Al B Christopher N Erzrig

I set up the  character Gen Session for 2 PM EST the 27th. If that time is off, let me know. Should be 7 PM GMT.

Yeah it's showing 6pm GMT for me that's a time i can make so if everyone else can make it we don't have to change it (it was Erzrig who he wanted it to be 7pm).

Okay if need be, I will change it to my 3 PM. Let me know, thanks. I';m taking a break for a few hours then will be back  likely working most of the night on some worlds, systems, and political setup. Are we seeking more space opera or more hard sci fi? Scouts, Merchants, Asteroid miners, Troubleshooters, Colonists, or  Gen up and see what we got and try and find a theme? Will advise as I get more work done, but won't be deep into it for a couple hours at least.

Still looking for one or two more players for this. The campaign will be  going from world to world, seeking the best deals, on the way to the frontier. Small ship, Some trading, some adventure, lots of roleplaying.

Could the guys from your dnd group not make it?

Nobody answered up the post I made

Working on the different worlds tonight. Got a good start.
