Conversion Question

[Mac V]

I've never converted one system to another before. I want to run a Traveller game, but I don't think I want to use Mongoose's system, but I want their fluff.

So, what's the best way to do that? Should I find a system I like for personal combat and skills, then use Mongoose Traveller for all else?

I guess I'm not really looking for help with a direct conversion, more like help building the framework....

Systems in the running BRP, Hero, T20, in that order....

For Hero, Comstar's already done most of the work... they have a traveller version for hero.

Also, Traveller D20 is out there, which takes the D20 system and applies it to Traveller. I have not used that system, but from what I have heard it has the FEEL of classic Traveller.

Check out Citizens of the Imperium if you are interested. BUT, remember that other than Mongoose and the mythical T5 by Marc Miller, all other versions are eventually going to be sunset, so if you use another system, at some point, you will be on your own for support.

Sorry to Mongoose for plugging another companies stuff on your website.
