Roll20 Physics

Games like Traveller often need a bit of maths to work things out. It’s possible to look up the charts in the book, or use a calculator, but I’ve written a simple API script to do the hard work for me.

In Search of Art

The Travellers head for Serendip Belt and then onto Topas. War seems to be breaking out in the Islands, which limits their options somewhat. But they get to go out into the radioactive ruins of Topas to find some artwork.

Deepnight Endeavour

During the last session the Travellers had arrived at Zuflucht and worked out what their ship was. They were now ready to start investigating the missing Deepnight Endeavour, and more importantly, get paid an awful lot of money.

Prayers and a Bath

After our excitement of the previous days, it was a chance to relax a bit and plan what we were doing next. There was a new job outside the city, but we also needed to take a look at the brothel.

Ocean View

The Ocean View luxury resort can be found orbiting the world of Sapphire, in the Scaladon system, Trojan Reach / 2616. It is a 10km diameter ring, with numerous terrain types, hotels and casinos. Eight weeks ago, just before the official opening, one of the fusion reactors exploded, exposing a whole forest ecosystem to vacuum and killing several of the staff.

Shining Light on Shadows

After setting off the traps and wards in the church, and awakening the cursed undead that protected the place, the only thing left to do was pray. Oh, and maybe try some explosives. A lot of explosives.
