New Traveller setting?
- Thread starter EDG
- Start date
When I read that on the Mongoose forum, I took "new Traveller setting" meaning something completely original. As in not Hammer's Slammers, 2300 AD*, etc.
I will wait and see but would be happy to see something completely new. A new harder science, less space operish universe to play in designed from the ground up for the Traveller rules system. A.i., a Traveller style universe created in the 2000's instead of the 1970's without the constraints of the OTU.
*But I would love to see 2300 AD too!

A game you can play without a calculator in your hand?

My (less than official) guess: My Little Pony the RPG.

WOW!
Those are great! The "My Little Vulcan Pony", the "My Little Stormtrooper Pony"
My favorite has to be "My Little Alien Pony" with the creature from the Alien movies!

If you want to set up new Traveller universes/game settings three main possiblities come to mind.
A) A more realistic space setting set up in the area near Sol two to five centuries from now. A fairly Hard Sci Fi approch which focuses on human exploration and settlement.
B) A hardish Sci Fi setting placed about ten to twenty centuries forward from now. Think Transhuman Space meets Traveller and gets wild.
C) A setting restricted to the surface of one planet. Picture a starship misjumps, the ship is beyond repair, no one knows where or when they are, and they must colonise the world they crash on to live. Luckily the starship was loaded with supplies for a colonisation attempt. However, the colonists weren't on this ship (they were waiting for their supplies).
This would be a low tech space story. The people would be trying to rebuild the technology they'd lost. Psions would be trying to get accepted as part of society. Some would welcome them, others fear them, others see them as tools to be used.
Descendents of genetically altered humans could make great "Aliens" for this setting.

If you are in to this kind of thing, take a look at the Darkover novels by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Wouldn't it need to be quite a large ship, to get the population required to support a sustainable colony? otherwise the average number of toes is not likely to be 10

How about really rip-roaring space opera?

Ooh, look, a new movie!Rex said:
Although I quite like the old TV series, the potato-head animation could do with a bit of updating. Still you should get the dubbed version just for the theme song ...
