Traveller on Roll20 - Looking for beta testers

[Valkyrie]

Hello.

So, we've started to build Traveller for Roll20.

However, I'm no expert with Roll20 so we're looking for a couple of folks who know Roll20 well and want to run games of Traveller.

If that's you or you know someone who's not here, then please send me a message so we can talk about it, or comment here. You need to be on Discord though so we can chat about it. I'm in the UK, so UTC +1 at the moment.

The official Character sheet should be released tomorrow (hopefully), and it's been updated to fit better with the official look and is being worked on to allow drag and drop to work with it.

We're building the compendium for the Core Rulebook first - it's underway but we're a team of just 2 folks. If you can help us then it will help speed up the release.

So we'd like a group or two to help test what's been/being built and offer feedback/comments/ideas - anything is welcome. From that we can decide on what needs to be worked on next etc.

Folks helping will get any content they test on Roll20 for free once it's released, and those in the beta testing will get the Core Rulebook, Central Supply Catalogue and High Guard upon release.

We're also on the look-out soon for adventure content creators - are you able to build content for Roll20, are you interested in converting an adventure? Reference Books are a different beast with Roll20, ie the Aliens/Sector books - so if that interests you then also get in touch.

Cheers,
Colin (aka MBM)

I will gladly give running it a try or playing. I run several different games on roll20 now. If there is an intro one shot that can be easily ported into roll20 that would be ideal as I could use it on "down" nights with my existing two groups.

So when someone would join the "crew" on Roll20, you would create the character, then submit it to the GM?

On the campaigns/details/<campaign name> settings page the GM can select whether to allow player's own character creation. Otherwise, yes, the player would need submit it to the GM.

I have been creating the character sheet and then letting my players edit it. It depends how well they know Roll20.

Looks like work is progressing on Compendiums...Will this pick up via Drive Thru RPG purchases?

I am gearing up to start a Roll20 Traveller Campaign and to do so among buying lots of hard copies of books and PDF's I grabbed the free Starter Kit and bought the Roll20 copy of the Core Rules. The odd thing is though I can search the compendium for things like the handful of creatures that are in the core rulebook when I drag them over to the game they do not have the art that is in the rulebook. At first I thought fine I will go to the Corerulebook art pack that was said to be added but they are not there either. Glad to help build out these missing assets I was going to buy a few more books on Roll20 but I have hesitated since the Core Rulebook at least does not have all the art coming across as I would expect. I am still learning the character sheet but wondering if we can build some more functionality into that as well.

He mentioned in a different thread that that was being addressed now.

Hi All,

Just to let you know that the Art Packs for ALL books are being re-done to include all art in the books broken into categories. Where possible maps will have both unkeyed and keyed versions.

The naming convention will be unified as follows:

MgT2e - C - Mysteries of the Ancients - Maps
MgT2e - C - Mysteries of the Ancients - Portraits
MgT2e - C - Mysteries of the Ancients - Scenes
MgT2e - C - Mysteries of the Ancients - Tokens
MgT2e - C - Secrets of the Ancients - Maps
MgT2e - C - Secrets of the Ancients - Portraits
MgT2e - C - Secrets of the Ancients - Scenes
MgT2e - C - Secrets...
