So what do you add that isn't "Traveller" to your

[Xoph]

:idea: I don't think this actually breaks canon, rather it works with it.

I made the true Ancients a parisitic/symbiotic race like the Goa'uld/Tok'ra from stargate or the Trill from Star Trek. This explains why Ancient Tech so often is designed for humans and other aliens.

It also explains why the Droyne seemed to be the Ancients and why they don't have any knowlege of Ancients and their technologies.

It also helps explain the war and their sudden disappearence.

Geeze, since the prequel every putz in this sector has one.....:wink:

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

I changed almost nothing. No new tech, no new races, no new rules. If I want to play Cyberpunk/Transhuman Space/Babylon5/StarGate I do that instead of mutilating the Traveller Universe

I played a bit with the mix of "black and white". In CT and GT the nobility says "nobless oblique" and (mostly) act as knights in shining armor, righting wrongs, policing themselfs and keeping the bureaucracy hones. Since I find such an Empire terminally boring I prefer the MT/TNE outlook where the scumbags say "nobless n'oblique plus" and everyone is out for himself, resulting in an empire rife with corruption and bribery. An Empire I like since it allows for a lot of lawlessness around the edges.

Oh and I DON'T referee in the Boring Marches

I went with something similar. IMTU, Nobels DO NOT LIE. EVER

It is a major point of honor that they never lie. In fact being proven to lie can get your nobility stripped. Even the most corrupt, evil scum of a noble will not lie.

SO....

Every noble has developed the art of not lying to an art form. Think Minbari or Bene Gesseritt. What you think they say is not usually what they are saying and they use the literal truth, not the implied truth. It worked really well for PC nobles, since they were held to that same standard. Half-truths and the "lie of omission" were perfectly acceptable and expected. Think Lawyers on Steroids.

Apart from also adding a Cthulhu slant to the Ancients the non-Traveller thing I added was ...

Daleks! :twisted:

(Which can be found on Asmodeus/Querion.)

Rather than adding, one thing I often take away* from Traveller is gravitics. It just makes too many things too easy, IMO.

*As they say in Japan, "A garden is complete when nothing more can be taken away."

May I ask, makes what too easy?
