There are rules for being awarded medals and commendations during character generation in both Mongoose Traveller (first edition) High Guard (Page 6) and Mercenary (Page 36).

Well, being a jerk wasn't my intent; I don't consider speaking the truth to be being a jerk.

You do it that way if you want. But If that's the way you're reading it, you need to take a reading comprehension course; because it doesn't say that.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about whether or not you get to roll for a skill in addition to basic training at the beginning of subsequent careers, with most people concluding that you don't get to. The rules say: For your first career only, instead of rolling for a skill, you get all...

Thanks for the replies.

In The Third Imperium, under the section about Imperial Marines, it says, "Lift infantry troops drop from space with re-entry capsules..." And in the same section there is information about Disposable Re-Entry Kits that require Flyer skill to operate.. But Ground Assault Marines, which are...

"The player could negotiate with the Dungeon Master to make a called shot roll, that gives him the skill he wants rather than randomize it, say a fifty percent chance, with failure being no skill gained." I don't understand making a player randomly roll for what skill they gain. If a player is...

"For example, a Traveller with Medic 1 may be a paramedic or nurse, while another Traveller with Medic 2 might be a doctor. If a Traveller had Medic 3, they would likely be a very well-regarded doctor with many years of practice under their belt. A Traveller with Medic 4 or 5 would be at least...

I think you're being too generous with your medic skill levels. I don't think anyone should be graduating from medical school with higher than a Medic2, as every level indicates several years of experience; they just wouldn't have the experience required for a higher level. Here's the...

Sorry, I'm a little late to this thread, but I had this question too because, at least in the US, the Navy provides all medical personnel and services to the Navy and Marine Corps; The Marine Corps has no medical personnel of its own. And when I tried to create a Navy medical professional, with...

I haven't been able to find any so I just model mine on current military units. If your model is based on US Marines, your basic US Marine infantryman would be a member of 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th platoon. The platoon would fall under a company (4 platoons per company) designated by a letter of...

I emailed Matt a request for the revised pdf and I received a link for a free download from DriveThru. The pdf I received is named "Traveller_Core_Rulebook_erratajun2016_Ebook". No revisions have have jumped out at me but the date in the title is June 2016, which is before I purchased my...

I have Classic Traveller's Beltstrike and I agree, the rules are much better. In fact, looking at Beltstrike's rules, I see why Mongoose's rules don't work: On Page 12 of Classic Traveller's Beltstrike, there is a Asteroid Size/Deposit Extent Table. The Table says to roll 2D to determine...

"Roll 2D twice on the Asteroid Size and Yield table: once for the object’s size, and again for the object’s Resource Yield. The Resource Yield indicates the percentage of the object’s mass that has been determined in the Resource Presence table. Remember to apply any DMs for Dense materials or...

1e system should work just fine for 2e.
