Wow, thank you all for such an immediately positive response!
First of all, let me set down some assumptions so you can decide if this is something you're interested in:
* I'd be using the CT Traveller Book (1982) as the ruleset, so vanilla characters from there.
* Non-imeprium setting, no (or very, very rare) sapient aliens, but similar gritty tech levels, no FTL comma etc, a homebrew subsector to explore.
* You'd each control a crew of one to five people.
* If you don't get one through chargen, you can have and name either a stock model scout or trader ship; I'll roll for how many years of mortgage payments are left.
* Focus on trade, exploration, politics, etc, not so much with dungeon crawling or running and gunning (probably some, though!)
* I'd take your turns by either email or postal mail, if you want to be really old school! You'd get personalised replies, plus the ongoing fiction would be written up into the ongoing zine. So that bit is collaborative, as good RP should be. The zine would be monthly (ish), free, and mailed to you and/or emailed and put online.
If that sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, I'd like characters and your ship, a crew name, with as much background as you'd care to write! You can send them to me at
xxxxxx@gmail.com. Anything legal by the book is okay with me. And I'll start writing "issue one".
