Hi! I'm relatively new to the Mongoose variant of Traveller, and I'm curious about how people handle Law Levels, as it is quite different from the original version of the game.
I'm playing the original CT Spinward Marches adventures, and I just noticed that Regina - trade hub and subsector capital, and point of origin for a lot of Classic Traveller adventures/campaigns, has a law level of 9.
According to the MGT ruleset description of law level 9: All weapons are illegal, all drugs are illegal, any offworld data is illegal, anything above 1700's AD Earth technology is illegal, and no offworlders are permitted...
I'm using the ruleset to play adventures and campaigns from the original Classic Traveller, and the law levels descriptions appear to conflict: Imperials on Regina hire the party to perform a survey of the planets of the sector to see if their UWP's are correct - but offworld data is illegal at law level 9. In an adventure, a merchant comes to Regina and hires the party as crew on their ship for a journey to Rhylanor - but offworlders are not permitted on Regina?
Do all of the columns on the tech level illegal chart apply, or is it only 'pick one or more' to apply, depending on the situation?
