I want to run the game, but I want to play too. Maybe I should try the solo rules. I think I have a local group that would be interested some time later...but I want to play NOW! I've been excited about this for a long while, but the Cepheus system was new to me when Hostile first came out. The system has grown on me to the point where I kinda actually love it. Thank you for all your hard work on this setting!
Great, thank you for doing these videos Paul. I just ordered Hostile and Modern War last week and they are Inbound sometime this week from Lulu. Very excited for that and these videos will be of great help for someone like me who Is new to the game. Keep up the great work and videos, again thanks.
Been playing Cepheus for a while now (since it became free basically), I keep hearing people that say that low stats characters are still viable but as someone that was forced to play (the GM didn't want me to reroll a new character) a 5 months long campaign with a character who had to stats at 5 and the rest at 2, I can confirm that no, they are not viable at all, instead they are an endless source of frustration, thankfully point buy is an option.
Didn't you forget to roll for a skill at the end of your third term? Also, do you only roll for skills after the survival roll or do you roll for a skill before the survival roll and then if you fail that, just skip the commission/advancement roll so you don't waste 2 years before the mishap occurs without at least gaining 1 skill for that term? (A term only lasting 2 years, instead of 4, if a mishap occurs based on my reading of the rules.)
Did I miss rolling for that last skill? I’ll have to go back and look…. Roll survival first each term, if you fail you can go straight to the Mishap table.,
Sort of its based on the cepheus engine but its his own setting called hostile, tou can use the setting book with traveller and cepheus engine as well. This is the rules for the setting if people would rather use them they have more stuff for the setting tables and extra bits and changes to rules etc... also has a solo game based in this setting he created.

When I see STR 2, DEX 9, I automatically think "Belter". Very agile in space but not very strong in a gravity well.
Loved listening to this character come to life.

Yeah, I think Paul got a bit distracted there. I would have gone for the stat improvement.... maybe Endurance? :)

Does Hostile have drones or do I have to buy Modern War for that?
So it’s a traveler clone?
