I am looking for a few more players to join a game in progress.
There are currently 4 players in this play-by-post game of Mongoose Traveller 2e. The game is set in a rough interpretation of The Expanse universe (I have seen S1 of the television show, but not made my way through all the books yet) slightly before the 'Eros Incident,' but after the destruction of the Canterbury. This means that we're operating with a tech level of about 10 with some major modifications, mainly centering on the removal of artificial gravity and jump drives but with other changes as well.
The game takes place on a Discord server, however we may be using the map interface of roll20 if we hit anything that calls for it. We're looking for people that feel that they can manage to make a few posts a day. Pace of play has been fairly quick when the bulk of the group is online, but slows down to regular play by post speed when fewer people are on.
New players are welcome, and it may be important to know that I am also relatively new with this system. Some of the group are knowledgeable with respect to the system and everyone is willing to help people learn the bits they're having trouble with.
Leaving posts with action or dialog will allow for asynchronous play, but this isn't without its downsides. Initially, I intend to try running the game without an out-of-combat initiative order, so there is definitely potential that players that are online more often will be dictating more of the action, but we can handle that if it becomes a problem. Typing, combined with the slower pace of gameplay may encourage shy players to explore their character and interact with other characters more than they might in a real-time game.
If you are interested but unfamiliar with the setting the gist of it is (as far as I know): roughly 200 years in the future, Mars has been colonized and achieved its independence. People live in the asteroid belt harvesting resources, but they are oppressed and feeling rebellious. Combined with Earth, these three factions are experiencing an uneasy peace, that could be shattered at any moment, which has been further exacerbated by the destruction of the Canterbury, a ship hauling ice to supply water to stations in the Belt. There aren't aliens that anyone knows of, but technology is slightly more advanced than today. However, while there are efficient space-drives allowing more rapid transport through the system, there are no transporters, faster than light travel, etc.
Please post any questions/concerns that you have if you are interested in playing in this game.
