Hi Aericsteele, found my way in.
I'm running MgT at the moment ( 3rd Imperium, Spinward/Trojan overlap ), and I have all the CT and MegaTraveller books, so anything in those settings I know. Not familiar with TNE or the Regency, beyond the references in world data on Traveller Wiki. Happy to play any setting/campaign style though. Homebrew a setting if you like, we all had to before the Imperium accreted, and everyone tweaks the official setting to suit their game anyway - don't they?
To be honest I never did have CT; oddly enough my first exposure to Traveller was The New Era, then T4, then T20; I don't know therefore how closely Mongoose Traveller relates to CT. Assuming they are relatively similar you may be able to generate a character and tweak it to fit and we can make it work. I'm still hashing out details on character generation and setting but I should have everything put together soon.
You are right Bindoner, the way the core setting was designed tends to leave a lot of possibilities for home brewing available. At the moment I'm leaning toward starting the characters out with a beat up free trader and doing some random die rolls on some charts to see where it takes us.
Count me in! Would love to join you guys for this!
I don't have any preferences for game type. I'm cool with just going with whatever everyone else is in the mood for.
This will be my first Play By Post game, so please tolerate my terrible posts.
Maiokus welcome and welcome to all those who are new to Play by Post role-play gaming.
Play By Post (Play By Post), in my opinion, requires a bit more finesse than the standard Role-playing Game.
Don't be afraid to post and then come back and correct or edit the post once you have thought on it a bit. Even better is, typing your response/post in Notepad or a Word Document, save it, and then cut and paste it into the reply box on the forum.

I am working on it now, and hope to have the threads up and ready by Sunday at the latest. I have reworded my character creation thread and will submit that to you, probably this evening sometime.
The Aericsteele's Traveller Character Creation Thread is now available. All prospective Players may now go there to create and Discuss your Character with the GM so the game can begin. This Thread is now only for Reviews of the Role-playing Game .
