EDIT - I am now actively recruiting for the game.
Here is the recruitment Post


I am posting here to gauge interest and to receive feedback. I am going to run a Traveller adventure set in the Theta Borealis Sector far Spinward of the Third Imperium after the 5th Frontier War.

The 'Travellers' (what the game calls the adventurers) are all friends from either the war or their backgrounds (could be the same home world). After the 5th Frontier War the Imperium, Zhodani, Vargr and Sword World down sized their militaries (except Navies). Many Veterans suddenly find themselves mustered out and back on their home world that does not quite look like they remember it. They try to fit in but soon find that the song say "Don't look back. You can never look back" and like many veterans, former agents, fixers, they found work otherwise. One group found work with a contracting firm Ironhand Security. The pay is good and it is a short six month stint.

This is a military themed adventure set in the far future where the 'Travellers' need to use their wits, observation, and diplomatic skills over the rare use of gun play. This takes teamwork so the loner sniper or stealth agent loner this game may not be for you. This will be a Classic Traveller style game, but if you prefer Mongoose 2nd Ed I am open to those Traveller characters too.

This game will have a recruitment post, BUT I am seeing if there is interest level right now as I am building out the game.

I am about 40-60% there (uploading NPCs is a bit harder than I thought along with GM sheets and handouts). Thanks to @Psybermagi for the assistance and help!

I'm always happy to play some Traveller. I'm really only familiar with 2e myself, but I'm more than willing to learn.

I'm interested in a Traveller game. I have experience with both Classic and Mongoose as well as a few other editions, so whatever we settle on, I can probably handle.

Thanks, I will be putting up the recruiting post soon and I will keep you two in mind. We need to have about 3 to 5 players for the game.

What would be your expectations in the game?

I'd be in. Haven't played Traveller in quite some time.

I am a big fan of Traveller. I have mostly played the Mongoose 2nd edition (now revised) Traveller. If you have one spot open, I would love to join.

Looks like you probably have 3-5 players already, but I'd be interested if there's a spot. Traveller games tend to find their direction with the weird casts of characters coming together for whatever they need to do to survive. I'd love a longer term plot, too, but that can be hard to pull off in PbP unless the game really gels.

Edit Forgot to mention: I prefer MgT2e these days, but I think I own some form of every version.

Nice to see some familiar faces, even if I'm to late to make the cut!

I feel that Traveller has such an awesome character creation system that you cannot predict where your character will land. So, I don't have any concrete idea about the character. As for the game, I would love to see some space combat and some adventure and exploration of lonely planets with hidden mysteries. All the while, we are trying to gather enough resources to buy an Imperial tank from the black market.

Previous experience with Traveller has been more of a 'gunfight of the week' sort of thing, so honestly I'd just be glad to actually roleplay in the setting. I know that character concept can veer into unexpected territory sometimes.
