Major Tom

Oh hey, this is great. I kinda wanted to make a space thread myself.
I LOVE this album. Great space music. Half the songs give me chills, like the second one Dawson's Christian. Space ghost ship.

*Thumbs up as he continues to ponder the mystery that is Major Tom*

>>47345049
Ooh boy. Don't do that. A lot of folks get annoyed when you use asterisks to denote action.
Just... talk normal.

>>47345097
Well sheeeeeeeeeeit (sorry force of habit when online :p )

Nice artwork but seriously what the fuck is going on with Major Tom ;-;

>>47344973
My group fell apart after 2 sessions. Sorry guys.

I did a double take when I saw the OP image. I've used the daughter Charly in a separate campaign, though.

Old tripcode as proof, compare it to the 1d4chan articles.

>>47345337
Thanks for answering mate and sorry to hear that Its just that I had so many feels from the short story on 1d4chan wiki that I had to know more glad to here Charly's being used though :D

>>47345382
Yep. Anything else you wanna know?

>>47345391
Is there any future plans for Major Tom?
Did anything happen after the first session?
Is Major Tom actually talking to someone on his comms?

>>47345427
No
No
No

Sorry, it's not a very interesting death of a concept. We all loved the idea of the character and it played well with the story, but we lost some group members and when a new campaign was being made with new people I went with a more sensible character.

Well shit, I didn't know OP was actually from something.
Still going to keep posting space for a while.

>>47345456
Yeah, go to 1d4chan and search 'Major Tom'.

>>47345450
Thank you for your time sir and sad to hear he is no longer with us.

Very well

>>47345563
Seriously anon, you got your answers but I would delete the thread now. It doesn't really serve much purpose, and as you can see it wasn't as well received by people as you may think.

Not >>47345049 but there are a couple of things that signal you out as a newfag. Here are a couple of giveways:

> Using a name
This is many anons autistic trigger. It should be reserved for appropriate occasions. Using a name or worse a tripcode without a good reason might be seen as attention whoring.
> sheeeeeeeeeeit
To cite >>47345097 "Just... talk normal.". Writing like that is kinda juvenile wouldn't you agree? I
> :p
We don't use smilies. Along with the *action* it is probably the most newfaggy thing one could do.

I'm not trying to berate you btw, I think it's kinda shitty that posting on 4chan is so dependent on the poster following random restrictions. Committing just one faux-pas dooms your post to either ridicule or a pass.

So with nothing but friendly intent I offer you the oldest maxim of 4chan.
>Lurk before you post

>>47345148
Also don't use emoticons. People on 4chan tend to be kind of hostile to that.

>>47345793
No problem I normally just like to lurk every once in awhile and so thanks for the heads up I'll keep this in mind before I post again

There used to be a really great space skeleton thread a year back. I will see if I can't find it.

Finding a dead spaceman in orbit around a since long dead earth is nowhere as scary as finding a live spaceman around said earth

I think I might use that idea as a hook for my next traveller session actually.

>>47345968
That's literally what this thread was about. You're talking about >>47345466

Sorry mate, worded that like a spastic. I know of Major Tom and remember the followup threads but I also remember some space horror threads way before that also featured austronaut skeletons.

Major Tom is a comic character but I think the concept of finding a man in the middle of nowhere alive long after it should be possible is a pretty god way to unnerve players in a game. Just my 2 cent though.

I'm trying

>>47346184
>tfw my players are so autistic that if I had them encounter something like that I would be bombarded with SCIENCE FACTS and "WELL ACTUALLY..."

>The Staring Woman, as she is called, is a rather macabre specter that numerous Spacers have reportedly seen while flying through the so-called "Sargasso" clouds of debris left orbiting the Earth after the Kessler Event of the mid-23rd century. Wearing naught but an expectant stare and a vague smile, entirely nude but for the long black hair wrapped and tangled around her body, this space ghost is said to rap and tap on external windows and portholes, as if she were some neighbor next door wanting to borrow a cup of sugar or to step in from the cold. On very rare occasions, she has even been sighted floating inside the airlock, rapping and tapping on the internal door with an encouraging look on her face. No one knows or cares to find out what happens if you let her inside.

The other thing about old /tg/, and 4chan getting things done in general, is that what we ended up doing is seldom if ever what we started out doing.
Post space shit, creepy preferred.

Possible the best Sci-Fi horror session in history. Reading that thread for the first time gave me more chills down the spine than most horror books I read.

I also found my space skeleton folder. It is surprisingly large.

Aww, it's a shame we didn't get more adventures with Major Tom. At least we know what happened now.

What is this Major Tom thing?

Year before last we had a series of Spooky Shit in Space threads. They were very entertaining and creative and the stories of The Staring Woman were created over the course of those threads.

Last year, i think it was, we had a series of Our Superstitious Solar System threads where she was reintroduced and further fleshed out.
