I'm looking for one or two more players for a game of Traveller - people new to Traveller or to roleplaying in general are extremely welcome.
If you've not heard of Traveller then it's a science fiction game that was a major inspiration for "Firefly" - unglamorous and a little gritty without being depressing. You'll most likely be playing a group of n'ere-do-wells trying to make a living in a big universe. Think seedy spaceport bars, dodgy deals, and untrustworthy megacorporations but also alien ruins, strange life forms, lost starships... I've got a lot of adventure seeds to work with, so my idea is to start as sandbox game and see what works.
(If you have heard of Traveller then I'll be using the old Classic rules for simplicity and leaning heavily on published material, so it's best if you've not already been round the Spinward Marches twice in a previous game.)
I'm generally more interested in story than rules - the last games I ran were Delta Green and Night Witches, if it's helpful to know that.
We tend to start and finish a bit earlier than some groups - 6:30 to 9:30 is generally what I aim for.
