>mfw I think you are using Traveller

bump

>>14721242

This is indeed Traveller. I'm trying to gradually build a collection of planets that I'm going to call Sector TG.

I used two of them from previous threads in my Traveller game last night, but I want to roll up a new one to be an NPC's homeworld.

Looks like this is going to be a pretty small planet. I don't have many of those yet, looks good so far.

dice+2d6+-4 for Atmosphere, now.

I want to roll up an example of the native wildlife afterwards as well, if this planet doesn't wind up being an airless rock.

rolled 1, 6 - 4 = 3

>>14721443

Let's go

rolled 2, 5 - 4 = 3

>>14721467
Well, not airless

The last creature /tg/ helped me roll up was the stuff of nightmares, kind of an organic Bouncing Betty mine that infested the low-population frontier mining colony we had created.

I've got to say, these random tables are a big aid to creativity.

Is /tg/ incredibly laggy for anybody else tonight?

The atmosphere's thin but breathable, if you've got the equipment or you're genetically modified for it.

dice+2d6+-2 now, for temperature. Iceball or fireball?

Well, it's been 13 minutes since I hit the 'submit' button for my last post and it's still not here yet. I'm not sure if this will go through or not.

Don't know what's going on but it looks like we may have to postpone things here. Sorry all.

rolled 6, 5 - 4 = 7

>>14721443
rolling for atmosphere

rolled 1, 1 - 2 = 0

DO IT

rolled 3, 6 - 2 = 7

>>14721530
It was a bit laggy on my atmo roll

All right, let's give this another try. I'm going to take a 7 for temperature to give it a temperate climate.

For hydrographics: dice+2d6+-4

Roll roll rooll

>>14723025

That is me failing

rolled 2, 4 - 4 = 2

>>14723030

LET'S GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME

A few small seas. All right then. Lots of land area to live on.

Population. Now it gets interesting. dice+2d6+-2

rolled 1, 2 - 2 = 1

I actually loved hitting Tech Level myself

rolled 1, 5 - 2 = 4

>>14723264
Righto

rolled 3, 2 = 5

This is for the next roll.

>>14723292

Haha there's like one shack with a handful of people on this planet. Awesome. I haven't made an almost uninhabited world yet with /tg/. I can make them all named NPCs. Why would these people be living on this planet, far away from the rest of the species? Researchers? Religious fanatics? Criminals? Crusty old miners?

Next is government...I'm not certain how much that applies and all, but go ahead and roll dice+2d6+-6.

rolled 4, 2 - 6 = 0

I love how much wiggle room Traveller gives you to fluff out planets.

>>14723464

Anarchy. I approve. I'm not going to bother with the factions table as there's probably about half a dozen people living on the planet - it'll wind up like "well who's the Popular Front of Judea?" "Oh that guy over there."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Law Level 0 is appropriate as well, seeing as even Law Level 1 assumes the existence of some kind of police force.

>>14723527

Agreed, what is next?

The culture table is my favorite table. Roll dice+2d6 however many times you all feel is appropriate.

For some reason I keep winding up with sexist cultures that settle their disputes by dueling. I had some epic duels in a prior game of Traveller I ran - one of my players had a broadsword, Strength 10, and Melee (blade) 3, and he got them out of quite a few jams.

Also, I would still appreciate any good theories about who these folks are and why they live on an uninhabited planet.

>>14721207

>is that a barbarian-esque Mr.Spak?

>mfw

rolled 5, 6 = 11

>>14723572

Usually I wait until the end to do fluffy bits. It wouldn't make sense for super advanced scientist people who want to live in luxury on a small planet to only be tech level 5.

Also, roll dice+2d6 (with no modifiers, kinda weird but we'll roll with it) for Starport quality. There might just be a handful of people on the surface but the starport could be a fully manned station, kind of like a truck stop on the road next to a ghost town.

rolled 2, 5 = 7

Twice

rolled 6, 3, 6, 2, 5, 6, 5, 6 = 39

>>14723572

rolled 4, 5 = 9

Last culture roll

rolled 6, 6 = 12

>>14723614
Whoops, meant 4

This one's for the space port

rolled 5, 4 = 9

AAAAAnd the starport

rolled 3, 4 = 7

>>14723572
Rollan!

rolled 2, 6 = 8

>>14723632

Does my progressive culture roll of 34 still stand?

Also this roll is for whatever is next.

They have a distinct caste system and they are heavily influenced by a neighboring system. I'm going to assume the castes are "grandpa," "mom and dad," and "the kids," and they're all from a neighboring system.

>>14723614

They have a really, really strong caste system. And unusual customs around sex and nobility. What the hell is that supposed to mean in a society of half a dozen people? Maybe they are decadent nobles exiled from a neighboring system for practicing the 24/7 BDSM lifestyle? This is the space version of Marquis de Sade's castle?

rolled 2, 2 = 4

>ymesee defined
Yes, captca: let us define the ymesee!

rolled 1, 1 = 2

>>14723663
I think we should disregard my culture rolls, for they are bonkers. Or maybe not.

>>14723671

Ymesee is a good planet name, eh? Captcha is awesome at naming planets - it named one planet I rolled up on /tg/ "Bearcrag." Manliest planet name ever. You can hear the chest hair.

Looks like they have a Class A starport. Kind of strange for an uninhabited planet, but we can come up with a story for that.

Roll dice+2d6 for facilities now.

rolled 1, 6 = 7

>>14723425

This roll is for whatever is next.

More cultural traits - sexist, deceptive, progressive.

Hidden dominatrix planet? And business is good?

Yeah, I usually cap the culture rolls at 4. It can get ridiculous.

rolled 3, 4 = 7

>ilyres domain
^Another outstanding captcha.

>>14723722

It doesn't have a naval base.

Here's the tech level chart by the way.

>>14723754

I like Ilyre for a planet name. Also Shandu was good. Looks like they have a Traveller's Aid Society, kind of like an interplanetary youth hostel.

rolled 3 = 3

>>14723755

roll roll roll

>>14723774

Tech level 12! Weather control devices, man-portable plasma weaponry, Jump-3 drives. Pretty damn high.

I actually told my players that anything above 12 was restricted and very difficult to find, either prototype or alien tech. These guys are cutting edge.

rolled 6 = 6

>>14723755
So we're rollin' a d6 plus what now?

Looks like our trade codes are: high technology, low population, poor.

I still need 3 more 2d6 rolls for facilities and we're done rolling! Then we'll have to figure out what the fuck kind of planet we just made.

>>14723805

So all done then? (aside from fluff)

rolled 3, 2 = 5

>>14723838
Haha disregard that.

rolled 3, 3 = 6

More rolls!

rolled 2, 5 = 7

The planet Shandu in the Eonande sector is often called instead Ilyes' Domain after the famous dominatrix who calls it her home. Although she is a wealthy member of the Imperial family, she prefers outright lawlessness in order to more fully live the sybaritic lifestyle, and as such there is absolutely no law on this planet save the laws of strength and coercion.

The Ymesee, a rugged people with no central government, are proud natives who mostly keep to themselves, as defined in the Galactic Encyclopedia.
>>14723773
Captcha provides another interesting fact about this planet:
>10^22 luniany
?Wat?

Wrong captcha? Try this instead:
>edulands crucify
>andare derldsc

Okay, we're done rolling for the planet! It's also got an Imperial Consulate here. Probably a punishment posting for shitty diplomats.

I'm not sure that I actually want to inflict roleplaying with a dominatrix who owns her own pleasure planet on my players. Hmm.

It's late but I think I'll stay up to create an alien creature with you guys as well. Roll 2d6 for planetary evolutionary quirks (another particularly cool table).

rolled 2, 6 = 8

>>14723911
I should be in bed, but too bad!

rolled 3, 6 = 9

>>14723986
So that's row 2, column 6, right? For strangling tentacles?

rolled 5, 5 = 10

>>14723911
>>14723872
>>14723986
>>14723994

2 Multiple Eyes
5 Avoids or Mitigates Attacks
2 Nests in Trees
6 A Prehensile Body Part which is not usually Prehensile (genitalia?)
3 Males Gestate Young
6 Poison

These would be Shandu's elusive Ymesee? ("Why Me See?")

>evocation dentiv

>>14723994

Tentacles and primitive tool use.

Wow. Way to go, late night /tg/. First you make a dominatrix planet, then you fill it with tentacle monsters. With completely random die rolls. I am speechless.

Roll 1d6 on the terrain DM chart. I'm going to say clear terrain.

rolled 3 = 3

>>14724045
Terrain!

>>14724044

So wait, there's a many-eyed creature that hides in trees where the males defend their young by attacking predators from above with long, poisonous, prehensile dongs?

We've got to nuke this planet from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

rolled 2 = 2

>>14724045
Eh, could have done column, row, giving inflating with fortified nests. Which could be decent, but tentacles is so much more fitting, innit?

Perhaps that's part of the reason she settled on teh planet?

>>14724061

Cool. It is a normal-sized walking creature, that uses primitive tools with its tentacles. Land squids? Illithid cavemen?

Let's get 2d6 for the ominously-named Rural Encounter Table (it always makes me think of Deliverance).

rolled 2, 2 = 4

>>14724084
Squidlands?

rolled 5, 2 = 7

>>14724084
rollan

>>14724078

The last creature I made had inflating gasbags and fortified nests, so...

It was pretty terrifying, too. Captcha named it "grickin." It has a nasty habit of popping up from the ground and killing you before you realize it's there.

rolled 6, 3 = 9

>>14724099
Bloody hell.

Not really rollan for anything, just can't be bothered to remove the dice

>>14724096

Looks like it's a scavenger. I'll take the other roll for the next table...looks like they are carrion eaters.

Semi-sapient squid vultures? These guys are getting interesting.

rolled 4 = 4

thou shalt recognize the dee you bees.

zOMG "gingy" is the pet name my gf and I apply to each other!

>>14724110

I'm stealing your roll for the Size table.

Good god these things are 400 fucking kilograms.

rolled 2, 2 = 4

>>14724126
Works for m— Holy shit. Giant landsquid-vultures. Fuck yes.

>>14724123

Haha wow, that looks like it's going to be Exhibit A in your trial someday.

My girlfriend takes strong pain medication for her migraines and bumps into counters and stuff without noticing, so she usually has random bruises everywhere. I've had people see them and look at me funny. It's ironic because I get up to all kinds of kinky impact play with her but I'm too much of a gentleman to leave visible marks.

>>14724133

Taking your roll for the Weapons table.

Hooves? What the fuck?

rolled 3, 6, 1, 3, 3, 1 = 17

Please use these six dice rolls for something.

rolled 5, 3 = 8

>>14724201
Man, let's use that 4 for something else.

3 Sensitive Cilia or Hairs (whiskers)
6 Inflates (recurring theme due to thin air?)
1 Digs burrows (makes sense w/cilia)
3 Crawls on Webbing (underground)
3 Males Gestate Young (again? interesting)
1 Acid Spit (ouch!)

>ssyysteem ftents

>>14724210

Looks like it's got 3 Armor, 6 Instinct, and 4 Pack score.

Oh, and it says scavengers automatically get teeth as weapons. Carrion eaters get +2 Instinct and a boost to their Recon skills.

>>14724223

Okay, it has a Stinger +1 instead.

Holy crap.

>>14724248

It's easier to have lighter-than-air flight if the atmosphere is dense, not thin.

Also I prefer only to roll on the quirks table once or twice because it gets overwhelmingly weird fast.

So that's it? We're done rolling, or is the population large enough for us to explore a few factions?.....

Captcha believes this was the first Imperial Star Ship to discover Shandu.

All right. It's almost 6 AM here. If this thread is still here when I wake up, I will continue it, otherwise, we'll have another.
