Hello everyone 🙂
I am starting a West Marches style Traveller RPG campaign set in the Trojan Reach. This will be a long-term, drop-in/drop-out game where players can join sessions as availability allows.
I’m still early in setup and want to build system experience, so I’m kicking things off with a one-shot (possibly 2 sessions depending on pace) that will act as the campaign’s starting mission.
Location: Janus System, Trojan Reach
VTT: Foundry Virtual Tabletop via The Forge (Audio required)
Date and time: Thursday 30th 19:00 GMT (Possible continuation same time 7 May 2026)
The job:
A scout ship was sent to prospect minerals on the molten world of Janus I. Launched 9 days ago, it has missed multiple check-ins and hasn’t been heard from in over 80 hours.
Locate the ship and crew if possible, recover mineral data and the black box, and return to Rustfall Station. A shuttle will be provided (approx. 7-day journey). Assist or extract survivors if needed.
Reward: cr50,000 for the data, +cr10,000 per survivor returned.
Character creation can be done beforehand or just before we start. Allowed: Core Rulebook, Traveller Companion, Central Supply Catalogue. No special ammo (keeping it simple!).
