u/First_Plantain1607

I did hear some criticism from the last time I posted ships that’s annoying that you require high guard in order to get my ships, though I did tag it as such. Address some of those complaints the singular ship that I’m going to introduce you to today only requires my own homebred stuff which I will provide above the ship.

Ammonia hull: This is where the ship is keep much colder and higher pressure than water hull. They only need 15% of the hull in power points and any water solvent rooms need one power point per ten tons.

Ammonia stateroom: four tons & costs .36MCr. This is basic living space for ammonia solvent folk, a single room can hold one ammonia gater or two ammonia crows and three small pets comfortably, but in a pinch it can hold two ammonia gater or five ammonia crows and six small pets. It has two beds, a dry pantry, a half bathroom and a very basic kitchen. It gives -2 to getting water solvent passengers if the ship only has this kind of stateroom. If this is place on a water solvent ship then it needs one power point per twelve tons.

I’m not looking to start a campaign. I’m looking for something that I can introduce my dad and girlfriend, and maybe a school friend if they are lucky, to the world of traveler. Should I just make something up? What are some good one shot adventures in this game? I think that if any of the characters survived the one shot, I might incorporate them into a campaign. is there any good fan made one shot that you liked when you were in it? (I know I’m rambling a bit too much.)

I like densely world building my sci-fi setting so here is basically the rest of the minor worlds that are around the two stars that’s snorin and Harber around.

More homebrew stuff:
Serpent stateroom: 1 ton, cost .35 MCr.
Lore: This is a room that specifically houses smart serpents and other spaces that enjoying being subterranean and cramped quarters. It usually has enough room for two smart serpents and one sizable pet, but can be stretched to to having up to four smart serpents and six sizable pets. If a human attempts to live in this, there can only be one or two prepubescent children that reside in this room. If you’re looking for smart servant passengers, they give a +2 to your roll. If this is the only kind of state room left on your ship, they give a -3 to finding passengers that over 1.4 meters tall. It features a basking light, a very basic hide, which can also be swopped out with a couch, a very basic kitchen in the form of a water cooker and a freezer.

(also I might not have done all of the armor correctly. I know when some of the more recent draft I did but looking over everything I’m not sure if everything takes up the right amount of tonnage for the armor. If I got it wrong, call me out on it.)

(i’m starting to realize that all of the ships I have access to right now do require high guard in order to make. I have made ships that I’ve deliberately made only using the core rulebook. I just haven’t made any small craft like that.)

I intend to use this format to show all the ships that I have made.

I feel like showing you some of the most important worlds that I have made in my own traveling universe, starting with the church states.

And now for the worlds, where the playable species coming from. This is not include their moons and belter communities, I like my sci-fi world building to be dense in places.

Starport quality: A
Size: 7, specifically they have .91 times earth gravity of force.
Atmosphere type: A, specific they have 2.4 times earth atmospheric pressure and instead of water ammonia is the dominant solvent. Instead of oxygen, they have NO2 is the gas use in cellular respiration for the organisms on the planet, and CN and other small organic compounds that breathes out by most organisms and produced by organic decay and what plants on the planet breathe in or drinking in, it varies.
Temperature: freezing for water but ammonia is liquid a lot of the time.
Hydrographic percentage: 6, 63% of the world is covered in oceans and glaciers, instead of having liquid water they have liquid ammonia oceans, lakes and rivers. A whopping 1/9 of the ammonia on the planet is locked up in glaciers.
Population: 6, most people on the planet are the natives of this planet. These people can breathe the atmosphere where most others cannot. There are broadly five cultural areas, they are the northern sea, the southern Sea, the mountains of preservation, the wet land, and the dry land.

A pressurized suit is often required to climb the tallest of mountains on this world. Various nations on the world have various taints, some are spores, some are pollen, in some areas it’s volcanic ash, and there are some areas that don’t have any taint that are on the open ocean.
Hydrographic percentage: 8, specifically there are three major continents, and all other parts of the land are small, small islands or archipelagos. These continents are specifically called the New land, the old land and the relic land.

Many kinds of Armor is usually treated that you need a permit to use it, but it’s not that hard to get these things and some people consider all clothing to be a kind of armor. They will usually allow most kinds of drugs with the exception of narcotics; additionally, you have to be a certain age to get some of these things including caffeine.

I’ve been making homebrew content for traveler, mongoose second edition for about as long as I’ve had access to the core book. In this post, I’m going to specifically share to the playable species from the world of snorin, it won’t specifically just be the species and not any of the additional content I have a ground because they’re kind of a thing that I convert to every RPG I have access to.

Also, not all of the content is strictly usable without the core book, but you can very clearly tell where it would be used and where it wouldn’t because it is in brackets. Anytime this is relevant. I will give the same disclaimer.

Smart serpents
Lore: Smart serpents are one of the smallest aliens, but don’t underestimate them! They descend from omnivorous river-dwelling constricting stock, which were originally around the middle of the food chain, which they are across many places. Smart serpents are built to both gather vegetable matter and to wait/ambush for their prey to come on by so they can constrict them. Early Terran explorers regarded smart serpents as weird because they’re purple on top and blue on the bottom until they reached their homeworld and saw that was just what plant life was like there. Their ships are known for being unfriendly towards humans and Aslan because they’re snakes and they enjoy crammed quarters. When smart serpents go onto ships not designed by their kind, they find open space to be distressing. Their living quarters are known to be especially small and meet their needs with the floor being rougher than most other species make it.

Characteristics:

(They determine their morale by 1D6+2)
-2 Str
Traits:
heightened senses: better night vision, stereoscopic smell. DM+1 to any recon or survival checks.

Semi-aquatic: smart serpents evolved have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, usually living in lakes, rivers, or the ocean. Smart serpents get a DM+2 to any endurance atheletics checks made to swim long distance and can travel 10x the distance a human can in water without making a check.

Teethed vultures
Lore: Teethed vultures are typically scavengers that tend to show up once in the system and never leave. Descendants from flying scavengers that also got the fruit and nuts, they are well known to be less charismatic but certainly loyal. They hail from the same world that smart serpents come from, and thus, usually like bringing with them their native flora and fauna, including some of their relatives who are much bigger than them and are referred to as “the giants.” They have some sexual dimorphism with males more likely to have bright colors like being blond, whereas females are usually smaller and don’t tend to be quite as showy.

Characteristics:

Traits:
Bite - teethed vultures present nasty teeth, which can be helpful in close combat. This bite uses the unarmed skill and does 1D6+2 damage.

Heightened movement - teethed vultures are highly skilled in using their wings for both climbing and flying. Teethed vultures get a DM+2 to all athletics strength checks made to climb. Teethed vultures can fly as a standard part of the atheletics bracket endurance skill and go 12x as far as they can while walking. This only works if gravity is less than 1.2x Earth’s.
If you think the ability to fly is a little overpowered, then you could send their character either sustained an injury That means they can’t fly anymore or they’re too old to fly.
