I wasn’t going to back the D&D Traveller project because I’m not particularly happy with the World’s Largest team and I like Mongoose even less, but $350 for four books is ridiculous.
If I wanted to run Traveller more like D&D I’d hack Nimble, but I prefer a Frankenstein made of Classic, T5, and Cepheus anyway.

In trying to explain Traveller to the OSR discord I spent way too much time on this chart.
Short answer: support indie creators there’s awesome stuff in the Cepheus space. And this is the tip of the iceberg.

On a discord, trying to explain Classic Traveller to D&D people:
So Classic Traveller is like Original D&D. It started as 3 small books that give enough to be a game, but with a lot of unanswered questions. So each supplement adds a little something new, either new rules or expanding the setting or both. But instead of making a few supplements and then combining and revising and unifying it to make B/X, you just add hundreds of supplements for 10 years.
Maybe I’m not as smart as I used to be.
On the Traveller discord someone was asking about converting a class of ship into GURPS Traveller. I found the class (Fiery) was first introduced in MT Journal #2.
It turns out I have never looked into the MT starship construction rules.
So I have no idea how to interpret a lot of the details or figure out what size fusion power plant it had. But I guess the output was 7740 Mw?

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?

Saw a link to this cool set of terraformed moon maps.

I’ve been listening to Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. It definitely feels a bit like a Traveller adventure, he keeps getting knocked from one bad situation to another. Good read so far.

I thought I’d try this new version of Traveller.

I rather like #T5 rules, but the whole #Megatraveller thing really annoyed me.
As a result I use an extension of the #GurpsTraveller universe, and, to some extent the #MoongoseTraveller rules.
But #ClassicTraveller is what I grew up with, so that is my home.
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.
