  1. Traveller 2001 Adventures in Capitalism…

  2. The Website • Any Traveller section is fair game (except old campaign archive) • Pay special attention to aliens and general glossary • If you’re interested, peruse Far Trader guide to find out how to make $$$ (it has been updated this year) • I ask a trivia question every session. The correct answer is worth +1/2 character point • I assume you know all that is posted…

  3. For Returning Players • New ship – The Elegant Madam • 200 Tons, less cargo but better performance • A hefty mortgage payment due every month (overhead) • Less trading • Smaller hold • Can not break even on trading alone (see overhead) • Must take adventure hooks for cash! • The GM Paperwork Reduction Act • Computer tech for freight/passenger market.

  4. The Elegant Madam • 200 Tons • 2 Gs • Jump 2 (2 parsecs / week) • 4 Lasers, 2 Turrets; DR 400 • Tech Level 10 • Air/Raft • MCr51 ($51,000,000) • 32 Tons Cargo (incl. Turret space)

  5. New (but not only) Rules • You must spend one week in port for every week in transit (space is boring, starports are not…) • Slight changes to trading Speculative cargo • Only if you are interested in business end • See Far Trader guide in Traveller section of website • Guns are not tech-level dependent, but you must still obey my revised specialties • Combat is no longer a contest of skills. Your margin of success no longer subtracts from an opponent's Dodge roll and vice versa.

  6. A Brief Review of Traveller • The Early years • The mysterious Ancients spread Humaniti to the stars (the Vilani, Zhodani, et al are formed) • The Vargr are created (no one knows why) • The Ancients disappear… but why? • The 1st Imperium • Vilani formed • Heavy bureaucratic and political problems

  8. A Brief Review of Traveller • The 3rd Imperium • The current incarnation • Formed by Cleon the 1st • A mix of Vilani and Solomani culture • The 6 Races • Humaniti – solomani (terrans), vilani, Zhodani, Darrians, etc. • The K’kree – centaurs from the “Two Thousand Worlds”

  9. A Brief Review of Traveller • The 6 Races (con’t) • Droyne • somehow related to the Ancients. • Powerful Psi users • No homeworld or nation • Hivers – master manipulators • Aslan – proud warrior felines • The Vargr – charismatic, unpredictable, and disunited (until recently…)
