Silly proposed Idea of Traveller

[DaveChase]

Just ideas that some bright, over educated individual came up with that they swore would work (satire)

When fighting Aslans we need ships with laser pointers moving back and forth on the ground in front of them. They will be so entertained and distracted we can just round them up.

When fighting Vargr, we only need to drop 1,000's of small dia, bright colored balls around them. We also need to equip our troops with several of the same balls for when they encounter Vargr they can distract them into compliance.




:lol:

What are some of silly ideas that you have heard in the Traveller universe?

Hmmm ...

Now, see, I've had some success with Vargr by releasing large numbers of cats into the area.:devil:

 

[Spinward Scout]

Funny enough, I was just playing frisbee yesterday and thought about how you could incorporate it into a battle as a distraction. It wasn't exactly a Traveller idea, but now that I think about it...

You could throw a bunch of frisbees in the opposite direction of the Vargr advance and they should all turn around and chase the frisbees. But they will bring them back to you.

 

[David Johansen]

Nah, I'm thinking Up! has it right when it comes to the Vargr.

Squirel!

 

[DaveChase]

Hmm, wonder what would happen if uplifted squirrel met uplifted dog?

It could be very amusing to watch.
I wouldn't want to be between them but watch, yes.

But then the aliens will start throwing bananas in front of human troops and we'll be right back to square one.

I think that was called Albedo.

I think that was called Albedo.

I have that game 1 shelf down and to the left of my Traveller stuff. Have the comics somewhere, always wondered how that story was supposed to turn out. Either it was cancelled mid story or I just never saw any more issues.

Yes, by all means we need an uplifted flying squirrel race.

I think that was called Albedo.

Albedo is harder sci-fi than traveller. 4 breaks from reality: Fusion, Hyperdrives, AI, and uplifts. Unfortunately, my last groups to play it insisted on trying to play it as comedy, and it's not built for that. Gritty combat rules, and CT-ish skill levels...

And a space combat system that boils down to "if you get hit, it's time to write up a new party."

You could ask some of the furries in SecondLife......... o:

ERP. (Errotic Role-Playing)

Witnessed some of that in City of Heroes, still can on Champions Online ... *shudder*

I often played a "foxgirl" (not-Vargr, made my own alien race), but not THAT way.
