After a week of being moored up in a dry dock and getting high on paint fumes I have developed a strange & compelling nostalgia for old style classic Traveller. Maybe its from living in a vessel akin to a type S scout ship : cramped, in need of constant maintance, and it takes a week to get anywhere ! Have not even looked at one of those little black books in something in like 20 years ! Anyone capable of providing 2D6 based therapy or also afflicted? Found this : traveller.chromeblack.com/files/mtpcgen.html

As Deathwatch is petering out due to lack of full group availability Traveller is indeed one of the options Tim has suggested for a replacement rpg.

I think we are down to either Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2nd Edition) or Traveller as the next RPG that I will be running. I would like to complete the Deathwatch first and then there may be a break while someone else runs something - depends on the variance in the playersets and availability.

Of course. DW must come to its grim , morally corrupt, and i expect, apocalyptic conclusion.
Which version of Traveller do you have, i see that it has evolved several times since my days ?

I use Mongoose's Traveller - which is essentially a revised Classic (Little Black Book) Traveller. There are some tweaks in terms of skills and character generation but the core is Classic Traveller - enough that I know people who port adventure scenarios and similar straight across.
THe world is Third Imperium but assuming certain of MegaTraveller/New Era weirdness didn't happen (Virus particularly from memory).

I've not played Traveller, but I'm game if a party is required.

If we go Traveller then I'd like to bagsy spaceship pilot, although it may end up upside down in a ditch haha.

With the way the skill system works you probably want more than one pilot skilled person, and the pilot to have other skills.
Typically skills range from 0-5, with 0 being a bit of native talent at something or the very very basics of training and 5 being a Nobel winner in the field. Untrained is a lower state an adds heavy penalties....
