Traveller interest check

Space. Exploration. Starships. Vac-suits. Zero-gravity. Uncharted planets. Interplanetary alliances. Pirates.

Traveller is a sci-fi RPG with life-paths, starships, and star-charts. We'd be using the 2nd edition of Mongoose's adaptation of the classic Traveller RPG. You can find the rules and information about the game here, if you don't know already.

I don't want to pre-generate much in the way of setting or content as a lot of that can by generated during play.

Anyone interested?

 

[JayTee]

I might be interested. What's the level of rule complexity? Say, more towards DnD 3.5, or DnD 5e?

 

[WlfSamurai]

I'd say it's 3.5 to 5e level of complexity. The character creation is more involved, but that's one of the best parts. Character creation is done by picking life-paths that make up the character's life. It's kind of a game of its own where the character can die if a certain roll is made. It's a lot of fun.

 

[JayTee]

Hm, I'm sorta in a rules light mood these days, so I think I might give it a pass for now. Sorry about that, Wlf. Hope others take you up on it, though!

 

[WlfSamurai]

No worries at all.

Off topic, are there rules light systems you have in mind?

 

[JayTee]

Hm, can't say I really do. it's one of those "know it when you see it" kinda things, ya'know?

Oh yeah. Totally makes sense. I was just wondering.

Have you ever played Apocalypse World or games based off it?

 

[JayTee]

Hm, I can't say that I have, no.

 

[WlfSamurai]

I think you'd love it. Perhaps someday, we can try.

 

[JayTee]

Sounds good
