#778 Where is Norris?

Bob Mahoney · 13 January 1990

Hi all!

Shattered Imperium question:

According to the map in the Rebellion Sourcebook, Deneb is right on the edge of
disputed/dangerous/whatever territory.  Same for Regina.  So where does Norris
hold court?

Also:

1) PC's buy ship.  40-year loan.
2) Shortly afterwards, Referee destroys ship.

Is it:

3) Insurance pays off loan?    (i.e., "does such insurance exist?")

Or...

3) PC's in debt forever w/o ship.

They don't have the ship yet, so take your time...  :-)


Thanks, folks.

I say yes, insurance does exist. I usally make it part of the ships monthly
payment, something like today, car insurance is required by the loan companies
so I would think that this would be a requirement, by the people that loan
monies for Starships.

No problem,

I agree with Greg Givler, but add that the insurance company is likely
to investigate the claim carefully.  This could add lots of
opportunities to foist bureaucracies and picky insurance officials on
the players.  Wonderful mini-adventure.  If the circumstances are
unusual enough, the characters may be bound up with haggling for months.

I like it, it has all the good things that a Traveller GM needs,
underhandishness, sneaky and mean.
