I'm releasing an extension to the Classic Traveller ruleset for the Traveller 5 game. The extension is still a beta product. Traveller 5 it self is still in draft mode and only available to pre-order customers so I don't expect a large user group for this extension. It could however be used as a base for a Traveller 4 and possible a MegaTraveller extension, so there might be of some use to a larger audience.
The extension mainly removes features that are not used in Traveller 5. There is very little automation. Traveller 5 uses a quite different dice mechanics compared to earlier versions of Traveller. The player rolls n*d6's depending on the difficulty of the task vs. a target number which is the sum of the relevant stat and skill level. This can easily be accomplished in FG by using HotKeys (for one to five or so d6's).
The extension file includes a change log file and a license file.
Enjoy!
ps. If you find any bugs please post them in this thread. Thanks! ds.
