This
past weekend my sons and I went on vacation to Charleston, SC.
Saturday brought heavier rain than we anticipated. This curtailed our
plans and kept us inside the hotel for a good part of the day.
Fortunately, Dad thought to bring along The Traveller Book and some
dice. We had a map of the Holtzmann's Corridor subsector, but none of
my other notes. They chose to begin play on Armstrong's World, so
were for a change not playing Imperials.
Keep
in mind the following:
PCs
were rolled on the spot
I
used the random encounter and rumor tables, with results enforced
I
used the reaction tables, with results enforced
I
provided a little imagination for the details
In the
span of just a few hours of gameplay, the following adventures
happened:
Their PCs took ship as temporary
crew by a Belter patron. They flew off-planet to a gas giant ring
system and went ice asteroid mining. The mining expedition lasted
three weeks of game time. The trip featured a near-brawl aboard ship
with an NPC. A crewman got lost, a damaged suit almost killed one PC.
On top of this, they still managed two separate strikes of crystal
deposits. In three weeks of adventuring,they made a net total of
30,000 credits each. The patron offered to take them along back to
Ferrocore, but they decided against it.
