    VTT?

    Have you considered looking at Fantasy Grounds? It is the officially licensed VTT for Traveller with a whole lot of support and years of ruleset development for MGT2.

    Most Fleixbile VTT for Traveller-based Gaming

    The MGT2 ruleset on FGU is really flexible. It has options to turn on/off companion characteristics, you can select a specific characteristic for a skill in the character sheet as a default, and if you need a different characteristic for a specific roll you can just click an override that is at...

    Social Distancing? Play Traveller Online!

    Mongoose has licensed MGT2 for Fantasy Grounds. Some of the modules have been converted already and Central Supply Catalog is on the horizon with High Guard up next and the Companion after that. The core rules are quite flexible in what you can do and adding your own adventure info is pretty easy.

    Behind the Claw

    I'm hopeful they didn't use the MGT2 trade code table to generate the system trade codes. The change for NI world creates a whole lot of low and no population NI worlds.

    Completely new to Traveller - Which simple adventure to start with and advices

    I would add to High & Dry as an excellent starter. It is very interactive with people and environment in the gaming area. While you can run it without modification I did find myself adding people and some extra objectives because I planned the campaign to return from time to time so I wanted...

    Ship Design Philosophy

    Plus the more automation and self-driving starships the more vampires running around the galaxy in a few years. ;)

    Spaceship vs. Starship

    Without the jump drive and jump fuel requirements maybe you could build a battlerider with twin spinal mounts. That way even when your crew is drunk and seeing double you've got one spinal for the both of them. :)

    Roll20 vs Fantasy Ground

    Smiteworks has a 30 full refund policy so you could try it and see if the additional functionality is worth the money. I've tried some rulesets that just didn't do it for me and the returns were quick and painless. Also there are quite a few screenshots of the system on the FG website and in...

    How much combat do you have in your campaigns?

    Just counting my current campaign there have been 4 combats in 8 sessions of which 3 of them were in session 8. They are currently crash landed on an unexplored alien world on the far side of a wormhole. That being said the party has taken plenty of damage from other things. The first session...

    Your thoughts on a query?

    I might take the opportunity to introduce an NPC prisoner who has an escape plan but needs more people. Another option if you don't want to add an NPC into the mix would be to have them over hear that their execution is scheduled for morning starting with (whichever is most attached to their...

    Roll20 vs Fantasy Ground

    I'm not sure about Roll20 but the Fantasy Grounds ruleset is licensed by Mongoose. The MGT ruleset in Fantasy Grounds will allow you to create and store a character (it has the Core Rule tables in it so you can just click, it will output the results into chat and then you can record the results...

    MgT2 skill-level philosophy ???

    If you only thing that you are considering is the skill rating then an 8+ test will be a tough roll to make consistently. However, there are a number of other modifiers that can change the results. Characteristics can raise (or lower) the DM. Equipment quality can raise or lower the DM or...
