https://r.rpol.net/display.cgi?gi=3&ti=16873&date=1567421423 In that thread the originator and one other expressed interest in a game set in the Original Traveller Universe (OTU). The thread was starting to verge on too long for its intended purpose, so I've decided to move further discussion here so we can refine the concept. My idea so far is to use the three Little Black Books (GDW) as basic rules, aided and abetted by the character creation rules in Traveller Plus unless there is strenuous objection. Traveller Plus is free and may be found at: http://crucible.cc/traveller/tplus.htm It has a point-buy system for character creation which allows for a more varied and customized character. Since I'm talking about possibly starting a game: I could manage a twice weekly posting rate with a smaller group (eight or less). What say you? | |||||

I would likely set it late in the reign of Emperor Strephon, say, the mid to late 1080s, just in time for the Fourth Frontier War to be over? (I'd have to dig to be more specific - don't want to be too close to ). Since this is an introductory game for some interested parties, I thought I'd start with the Spinward Marches, maybe in Regina or one of the more Coreward sectors and branch out from there. You know, someplace not too dangerous but not too boring either. | |||||

I'm pretty gamed-up, but I'm sure I can manage twice-weekly. And the GM has a good rep... | |||||

Okay... it's not settled yet. Here's how we could do it: Traveller Plus is my own personal preference, but it's our game we're talking about. If you want to use the Book 1 rules, sure, go ahead. Those who look at Traveller Plus and like it are free to use it. I usually start folks off with 100 Character Points, but to maintain compatibility with the Book 1, we'll limit that to 75 points (that's what Ed Messina, who wrote Traveller Plus, recommends. That way, this can be something of a test, and everyone can have their choice. Okay... How's A March Spinward sound? https://r.rpol.net/game.cgi?gi=74146 I have the bare bones up for now, and will work to get more done this weekend.
