I solo play the third scenario from the Classic Traveller
Adventure 1 The Kinunir. The team need
to liberate a senator from an Imperial Prison ship. This is a longer adventure compared to the
previous two.
A page with a description of my own simple rules and story framework I use can be found at this blog page.
Note that about 90% of the narrative is generated by the spreadsheet I use to run the adventure. It is dry but I am looking to improve it a lot.

The Adventure
Chapter 1 What are we going to do?
The team consists of three members: Flynn Dalton, Elisa Stafford, Miguel Benitez. The story starts with them in the City on Regina. The starting tension is low. To discover what is their goal, it seems the team will need to overcome a lot of possible complications along the way.

Brought up in a frozen world and working as an Investigator they have these skills: Investigation Engineering. Their motivation is of family tradition; interaction is generally friendly.

Brought up in a space exploration environment and working as a Driver they have these skills: Driver Applied Science. Their motivation is of greed; interaction is generally rude. Distinguishing features include missing digits on one hand and shows pictures of his children/relatives.
Miguel Benitez is a human male of tall height and is middle-aged (35-50). They have average physical, low agility, low mind and low fortitude.
