God, I MISS the old Fasa system

I believe you mean Challenge magazine and you are right, it was a great publication.

As for dying during chargen in Traveller. I have a program that generates Traveller characters using the original rules and I would say roughly 40% die before the process is over.

Yes!! thats the one :)

Chello!

I always ruled that if a character had a mishap in creation, that it counted as a half term (2 years); did not count for benefits training, etc.; and that creation ended at that point.

I believe that become a "real" rule in MegaTraveller. I've also heard of a lot of people using that as a houserule as well.

Just a thought for any LBB Travellers anywhere.

Getting a copy of the combat sim for postage only would be the perfect solution of this problem...

Sorry for the extremely long wait for a reply...haven't been here for awhile.

I'd be happy to send it to you. Postage of course is a bit higher since I believe you are in Germany, but that's fine. send a message to allensh1 AT chartermi dot net and we can hash out the details.

There are advantages to turning 50...like when a friend decides to buy you a gift of of eBay...a nice condition copy of the first edition boxed set of FASA's Star Trek the Role Playing Game with the dice and unpunched counters :) This is in such good shape that the 1983 FASA catalog in the box has no staple rust at all.

The second edition was, of course, great...but I have a real nostagia itch to run an adventure for this.
