  1. okay #TravellerRPG heads I fish for opinions - What do you think of rolling for events during character creation? Like it, don't like it, mixed? Do you feel different towards career events and life events?

  6. Conversation on discord has me thinking about Traveller again. (Still?)

    More precisely, ship sizes. I definitely prefer a smaller ship universe. By MT battleships are 500-700k tons. But even mid CT after high guard things like the Azanti is 60k.

    But if we go back to where the Kinunir is a Cruiser at 1,200 tons, and a light mercenary cruiser is 800 tons, what size should we cap battleships and carriers?

  10. @deinol I'm hopeful to run #traveller5 at this year's TravCon UK. I need to spend some time gettingmy head around it and perhaps building a quick reference sheet. I haven't tested the mechanics in any detail, but may need to apply some alternative simple structure to combat encounters.

    T5 would be a refreshing change to Mongoose Traveller, much as I enjoy that ruleset.

  14. I was curious if anyone else ever talks about #Traveller5 on here. At least in the feed connected to my server, no. 😅

    I know it’s not the most popular edition, but I really love how its rules for building ships and other equipment at all tech levels.

    Anyway, if there are other #T5 fans out there, ping me and I’ll give a follow.

    I also love #ClassicTraveller of course.

    I did a rough calculation for 4 TLs, since the classic Scout is TL-C. All 200 ton Far Recons, with fuel for two jumps. So they can jump away from the fleet and return even if the enemy controls fuel sources. Two crew each.

    TL-C Talos Class J3 M5
    TL-D Malibu Class J3 M6
    TL-E Echo Class J4 M6
    TL-F Toshiko Class J4 M6

    Of course I named them after pets past and present.

  23. Every once in a while I ponder making a website that would manage the Fifth Frontier War. Or any large Traveller conflict.

    The trickiest part is the propagation of information. I’d need to track what info each fleet knows about and how old it is.

    Not that I should be starting projects for hypothetical games.

  27. I’m working on adapting the #Mindjammer setting (which has a Mongoose #Traveller version) to #Traveller5. Such a cool setting!

  30. But one thing I noticed about the T5 rules is while pop code is used when looking for passengers, it isn’t for determining availability of speculative cargo.

    One world they visited has a population of 60, I determined it was a mostly automated factory creating TL 13 Vargr Battle Suits. So I figured they could easily figure out supplies to sell there. But available trade goods? Probably not.

    Finally caught up on the record keeping for my Traveller game. In session I was focusing on adventures, the normal buy and sell I put off for a few months.

    I’ve been using the T5 speculative trade prices, and very rarely is it not a net positive to buy at one system and sell at the next, although there was once where I held the cargo. After 200 days, 11 jumps, 7 systems they made ~½MCr.
