Okay, we’ve got one-shots for Friday scheduled out till the end of June, so it’s time to get the ones for July on the schedule, we’ve got opens slots for 6/5, 6/12, and 6/19 (I’m out on 6/26, so no game then, unless Shadow Byrd wants to host). So, anyone have anything they want to run?

From the Skills and Tasks section of the Mongoose Traveller Core Rulebook:

Most of the actions undertaken by characters do not require a skill check. A player does not have to roll Athletics to run through a forest, or roll Computers to access information from his ship’s library. Some actions will require the character to have a particular skill, but will still not require a roll. A character with Flyer 0 can fly an air/raft under normal conditions without having to make a roll.

The Referee should only call for checks:

• When the characters are in danger.

• When the task is especially difficult or hazardous.

• When the characters are under the pressure of time.

• When success or failure is especially important or interesting.
