Hello, I just downloaded this and see that when you create a character you roll till they leave service and then they become the PC in the group to explore outside the outpost right? I am looking to run this solo so I am working on making a team of 5 or 6 characters to run through a campaign. I also got your Heroes of Adventure stuff and that looks awesome.

Hey vortakgames, absolutely spot on. The character creation process is inspired by the classic traveller rpg system and allows you to create characters with different levels of experience. There is a risk/reward in terms of pushing your career further with the small chance of  a 'death in service' result.

Awesome. It’s been ages since I touched traveller, recently been doing more solo playing. I have an engineer and scientist so far and can post like you did, the scientist was cool with lots of skill. I’m looking forward to this for sure. 


  • Name: Dr. Maxwell Trent
  • Occupation: Associate Scientist
  • Age: 40
  • Health: 2 | Stress 3 | Defence 10 | Armor 0 | Move 30
  • Skills: Command d4 | Fortitude d4 | Senses d4 | Strength d6 | Will d4 | Computers d8 | Medicine d6 | Science d4 | Technology d4
  • Equipment: 1000cr
  • Background: Well-rounded scientist and leader, had a good career and retired early, can perform medical and computer science very well.

I listed the first character I made; I have 5 more. This is going to be a science crew for sure, 4 scientist an android pilot plus an engineer.


  • Name: Myra
  • Occupation: Android Pilot
  • Age: 25
  • Health 3 | Stress 2 | Defence 10 | Armor 0 | Move 30 
  • Skills: Agility d4 | Fortitude d6 | Piloting d4 | Computers d4 | Technology d4
  • Equipment: Mag Boots
  • Background: Synthesized for being a pilot and doing minor repairs, Myra is a tough but agile unit. Slender and attractive to humans.  Acquired mag boots from the last ship she worked on.

Decided to show the android, this is going to be interesting.
