Should Freelance Traveller expand our coverage?

[FreeTrav]

We've had a couple of people offer us articles that don't properly fit within our Traveller remit. We've also printed reviews of a few non-Traveller products, because we thought our readers might have been interested in mining those products for their Traveller campaign. So, we're looking at the possibility of a cautious expansion beyond pure Traveller, into what might be called 'close cousins'. Hence the poll - please tell us what you think!

Didn't fit a poll choice so here it is. I wouldn't mind anything that has possible cross over use.

I wouldn't mind anything that has possible cross over use.

The same here. If it is something I can use for a Traveller game, it is wel-
come, no matter where it originally came from, but if it is only useful for
another system, I am not interested in it.

as above, as long as it has some croosover potential I'll likeley read it

 

[Sylvre Phire]

*shrugs* I'm all for keeping it simple and keeping it Traveller. Just my .02 credits, though.

if I can use it ... then great. Diverse away!

 

[AKAmra]

I chose just Traveller. But, that would actually include Hyperlite by my definition because I think the mag should support any setting using the Traveller rules.

 

[Vile]

Any high-quality SFRPG material you can get is fine with me.

 

[IanBruntlett]

I would use anything that would cross-over OK.

At the moment I'm studying "Gamemastering" to improve my GMing skills. Its not cheap but its OK so far. See:-

It would be great (to me at least) to make the tent a little bit bigger to accommodate Traveller's devoted descendants, nephews, acquaintances, and freckled-and-bucktoothed cousins. These have lovingly brought in much to the sci-fi rpg. These are in addition to the above mentioned:

Anything that can be used. I already write stuff for Eclipse Phase and Star Frontiers.

At the risk of sounding like a pimp. I say expand. Especially to those publishing under the Traveller Logo License...like me.

That being said we'd be happy to contribute material as well to help out the cause.

Definitly any product produced under the Trav license or MGT Trav SRD. Limiting material to the OTU setting is well ... limiting. The game system is what's important.

 

[Fovean]

I say diversify, with a Traveller bent to it all... any good SF is material to be mined for one's Trav campaign, and learning about new/other gaming systems can inspire new ways of handling some of the inconsistencies and contradictions that seem to always plague a traveller rules set...

FWIW I'm particularly interested in the Star Blazers stuff (ah, nostalgia!...)

I voted for stick with Traveller, but for me that would not be so literal. I would go for articles with non-Traveller content, as long as it still ties to into Traveller.

An example would be say, converting Traveller to BRP rules. That would still have Traveller content, because it is about Traveller flavor text in another rules system.

The flipside would also be good. An article about Doctor Who (its flavor text from its RPG) using the Traveller rule system. That would be cool as well.
