Back from the Frontier....
Greetings All,
I've been away far too long. I travelled to the frontiers and lost communication.....
Being honest, I've been ill with a tooth from hell, plus another close family member has been far too close to the frontier as well, but we're all better now.
When I created the ruleset I never imagined people would be interested in a game that's not D&D. I love Traveller, I can (and hope until I die) remember playing it, having characters die during char gen, and dying whilst our ship was destroyed in space combat. It's just awesome and it lives again.
There's a lot of talk about 1E and 2E and can both be played together, forgive me if I'm missing anything but from my pov it's the following:
In 2E you have
- difficulty numbers, rather than modifiers against a single target number
- animals/creatures have hit points rather than the wound track
So this is what I've been thinking of doing. Adding 2E as an extension to the 1E ruleset, and that 2E extension would come with a new theme plus the Core rulebook for 2E.
The Core Rulebook is converted, the theme needs finishing and Mongoose were meant to be doing that (I need to chase them).
This means that 1E still needs all the core stuff adding to it, and 2E will override parts of it.
Now this is where you the players come in.
I'm taking a large amount of time off over Xmas, I'm self employed so can do this though the wife isn't too happy as she thinks that I'm playing on my computer!
So let's create a list of what you the players want, and then let's create it all. Post here what you want next and I'll commit to what's here rather than promisng stuff that gets pushed to to the back of many lists.
I will also let you know I've been working on the ruleset to Vampire 5th Edition but once that completes (soon I hope) Traveller is my only ruleset focus for the short term.
Thanks
