Black Ships?

by

What is the narrative purpose of the Black Ships in the Traveller mythology? When were they first encountered? Are they supposed to represent an ancient threat, like B5’s Shadows? Are they technologically superior to the Third Imperium and thus an invasion risk, like Star Trek’s Borg? Are they something you throw at your players when they’re “doing it wrong” to discourage a given course of action? Help me understand where they fit into the setting.

Did Traveller have its own Usenet and/or Echomail groups back in the day?

by

Basically the title. I don’t see a Traveller group on Eternal September, so I suspect even if it was a thing on Usenet, it’s not anymore. I’m not sure how to perform a more thorough check off the top of my head.

Mongoose Traveller 1e, more cohesive?

by

As someone who has developed RPGs in the past I find that Mongoose Traveller 1e seems more cohesive. Maybe it is the expansion of the setting and additional options, or maybe that there seem to be new systems or mechanics constantly being added. Mongoose 2e seems too unmanageable. Is it just me?

Cluster Truck is a complete campaign that will see your Travellers take command of their own small craft, hauling cargo across a system. They will steal potatoes, get covered in frozen beer in deep space, take part in a history-making riot, uncover corporate skullduggery, and smash a blockade while confounding local law enforcement!

Technology & Progression

by

One if the issues with Traveller’s technology system is the lack of efficiency and progression. As an example, Vacc suits in Traveller rarely get lighter, less expensive, or add additional features. This true of pretty much all components, equipment, and weapons. There is no systematic way to reduce cost, weight, or manufacturing time. There is no benefit to additional capabilities and if there are they are always more expensive.

Your first Traveller...

Planetary Military Base

Guarded behind a tall steel wall covered in barbed wire is a small military base home to a small reconnaissance force. This place is characterized by the loud chatter of soldiers, large dust particles in the air, and the overwhelming smell of diesel. Can your players infiltrate this base?

Largest "Small Craft"

by

Currently working on designs for some larger “small craft”. variant Shuttles, a Marine Dropship, and a larger Marine Assault Carrier. The dropship is 40 dton, and the shuttle variants are 100, 200, and 500 dtons, the assault carrier is probably 400 dtons. What is the range of small craft in your Traveller universe?

Battle Dress

by
Third Imperium Battle Dress

Battle Dress in the Imperium is complex and generally misunderstood. If you were designing Battle Dress and it didn’t currently exist in the Third Imperium what capabilities would it have? Would there be integral weapons? Electronic Warfare? Would the exoskeleton add strength or just endurance? Inquiring minds want to know.

Design Language or Method

by

Do you have a design language or set aesthetic for starships, spacecraft, or weapons in your Traveller Universe? I feel like that after 5,000 years of spacefaaring civilization Humaniti would have some very efficient design ideas. Examples could be all weapons are bullpup configurations because of aiming advantages, or starships tend to be spherical because of the geometry of the jump field. What do you think?

Alternative Rules & Influence

by

I have I think 14 or 15 different versions of Traveller. From classic first edition, to tiny fan-based Traveller Hero and Action! System Traveller. Although these versions give me a wide variety of rules and systems, I still use many other games to provide character and flavor. Games like Theatrix, Mekton Zeta, Last Exodus, and High Colonies. So what systems and settings influence your Traveller settings and series?

Welcome to Traveller

In my humble opinion no RPG community is complete without a small forum to discuss the Grandfather of SF RPGs. posts and comments regarding any of the fifteen editions of the game are welcome.
