Tumble
Contents
Setting
Tumble is set in the Third Imperium of the Mongoose Traveller series. The game will be heavily involved with the Darrian Confederation, a high-tech ally of the Imperium on the edge of the Spinward Marches.
Characters
An unusual collection of people with a broad skill set-and each with a tie to the Darrians.
Wuiihloakhear or WU (the spelling is deliberate). A great, hulking Aslan.
Mazun "Lucky" Lamond. A almost equally hulking Human, with many years of Scout and Merchant experience.
Doctor Marcellus Pierce. An academic doctor and scientist, covered in tattoos and scars.
The Ship
Character Generation
Will be standard Traveller, with the GM reserving the right to roll initial stats. You get three sets rolled, choose a set. If your luck sucks, you get 10,9,8,7,6,5 (in any order) as a default (+3 over average).
All careers from the core book and supplements are available.
Characters are assumed to have previous connections - I'd like to emphasise this by getting a feel for what people want to play and kind of map out possible connections between PCs before rolling character terms.
The Imperial Academy of Science and Medicine
The Mission
A 'Grand Survey' - Slang for an exploration mission that will involve contact with different sentient and probably space going cultures. This means allowing for possible hostile contact both in space and on the ground, while also having a predominantly diplomatic and scientific bent.
The Crew
The Secret
Unknown, but something is going on. For starters, the Darrians offer to buy the mortgage of your ship(s) and intend to outfit them for the survey - when they have a fleet of TL-15-16 ships? For seconds - none of you are from the Confederation, although each of you has had dealings with them before. You'll probably learn more once you sign the book they call a contract.
