Races from other rpg systems in YTU...

[newtraveller]

Anyone done any?

I'm coming from an Alternity and Star Frontiers background, so I really want to bring Werens, Sesheyans, Vrusks, Dralasites, etc. o'er to MTU.

 

[Infojunky]

Only the ones I have miniatures for.....

 

[invisible_al]

Well my current plans involve lifting the Ur-Obun and Ur-Ukar plus Vorox those lovable four armed half-feral killing machines from Fading Suns.

 

[Klaus Kipling]

Ah, the dralasite.....

 

[grymlocke]

oh, for the love of god PLEEESE!!

NO KENDER!


NO DWARVES in SPAAAAACE......

and NO...

COSMIC ELVES !!!! :roll:

 

[Infojunky]

oh, for the love of god PLEEESE!!

NO DWARVES in SPAAAAACE......

In don't know, Hasslefreemakes a mean space Dwarf in the grymn line.

and NO...

COSMIC ELVES !!!! :roll:

Oh, too late Traveller already has them, there called the Darrians....

OMG!! crud, Darrians, I never use them in a game so I forgot all about them ...........

at least don't do what that [cough, cough] 'other' company did and use dwarves and elves by other names (squats and 'eldar')... :?

pleeeeze no 'Scro' from a loooong forgotten setting 'spelljammer' (its "Orcs" backward)...

 

[SnowDog]

I'm still reading Traveller main book but I am tempted to do Vayleen, Kerrn and Mukhadish from Iron Empriset comics. Those comics have also been used as a setting for Burning Empires RPG, so that will be some sort of conversion, too

 

[EDG]

Do the Geonee fill the Dwarf niche?

 

[Infojunky]

Only the ones I have miniatures for.....

I am currently working on including Spugs, Aphids and Ratmen....

Am still pondering if I should write in GZGs Kra’Vak and Phalons.

Good choice, Iron Empires being inspired by Traveller, these races (and the setting itself) would make a great Traveller game.

 

[AKAramis]

pretty much.

And there was a pretty decent "Ugly Bestial Humanoid" somewhere in either CT or MT.

And the Ursa are close enough to Bugbears.

Vargr are Gnolls...

Thanks

Yes, I remember Chritopher Moeller writing that he has been an avid Traveller fan and the setting is heavily influenced by it. As much as I like "the Brick" that is Burning Empires RPG I think that converting it to Traveller rules would work well. Hmm... maybe I should allow psionics in my test game after all to be able to see how those rules work...

You'll be wanting d20 Traveller for ease of conversion.

When I was running a T20 game in the Hinterworlds a few years back, I got the d20 Star Wars aliens book and borrowed some of the less obvious (and, this being SW, less stupid) alien races from there.

 

[rust]

As mentioned elsewhere: Deep Ones from Call of Cthulhu, plus Mam-
prusi from The Green.

 

[Myrm]

Go with the original....hail the nilbog

 

[GamerDude]

I guess I'm the GM who's swimming against the current... I'm not adding anything right now.

I'm waiting for High Guard and Striker to be out so I can do some more thinking about the wider set of rules.

Kerrn are in MTU awaiting discovery by the PCs. Vaylen have made their way to the fringes of the Imperium.

 

[Jame Rowe]

I also like the Alternity races, mostly.

 

[Ishvar]

I am planning to use some of the races detailed in the Hero Games Terran Empire setting.
