Congratulations on Traveller!
- Thread starter Traveller
- Start date
I've said this in other places, at other times. Start with the "Starter Traveller" or "The Traveller Book" format.
Those were the most easily used, most easily portable versions of the CT ruleset.
Have some oldtimers who can point you at the missing rules (little modifiers here and there, like weapon lengths from Snapshot, etc).
Shake, stir, and game.

Well I'm sure that can be retconned out. :lol:
Should certainly be interesting to see what they come up with. Certainly there are a lot of things that could do with being poked to new knowledge and theories rather than those of the 1970s.
As long as they keep UPPs, the ability to die in character gen, the equations and black covers I'm likely to be happy

I have T20. I was hoping for a 2e using D20 Modern/D20 Future. That's why I made the comment about the B5 RPG 2e rules
I think Traveller as other posters have mentioned is fractured now with Avenger, Far Future, QLI, BITS, Mongoose now and SJG. I'd hope that a computer game would come out to get the interest of younger gamers. But we'll have to see. Its good that Mongoose is energetic but we'll have to see if things work out with them and other publishers and old timers like Loren and MJD and BITS.

I got the impression you were after a nacent Imperium, not one that has been around for a century and a half. Then again, 150 years isn't very long in Traveller terms, so, never mind.
Oh, and people say they don't want to see the Spinward Marches again, but for those that do, I can get a view of the Spinward Marches 150 years down the road pretty easily. Some decisions would have to be made, but it is quite doable ...
It would definitely be quite the dynamic place with lots of intrigue and multiple powers vying for supremacy.
What is it going to be called/nicknamed anyway? MT is taken. MongTrav doesnt sound great.
Opinion on COTI says it should be Riki Tiki Traveller.
I think is a mongoose joke but I dont get it.
EDIT; Vilani joke;
Six. One from the ladder carriers guild of the maintenance bureau to bring in and set up the ladder. Another from ladder holders guild to hold it. One from the clerks guild of the government bureau to fill in correct forms and transfere funds to the energy Guild. One from the lightbulb changers guild to change the bulb. One from the wich-trimmers guild because its traditional. And finally on from the supervisors guild because one is required for 5 or more workers engaged in the same task.

I wondered if Mongoose might sub-license T20; it's Classic Traveller with some D20 compatibilities grafted in. Sounds like that would be inter-compatible with SST and B5, etc.
Traveller isn't really all that fractured -- more like splinters off the block. Far Future owns all but QLI's T20 (which is more or less Classic Traveller anyway) and SJG (which is its own world), so there are no legal barriers.
Rulesets vary but the core of Traveller is Classic Traveller.
