Classic Traveller / Battlestar Galactica Season 1 – Lessons Learned
When I set out to run a game based on Battlestar Galactica, Classic Traveller was my first place to go to find a system that I could use to enable the setting. I'd never run CT, only dreamed about it back in 1978 as I read through the Little Black Books. With no experience, I turned to the Internets for some advice and quickly stumbled onto Chris Kubasik's Tales To Astound blog. From 2015 - 2019, Chris wrote a series of blog posts called "Traveller Out of the Box" outlining his discoveries […]
@chgowiz I liked that simple starship combat system you'd found. That's what I'd use if I ran a Traveller game.
Neat to hear the range band combat worked so well in theatre of the mind. I think it would work well with DragonQuest as well, even though it's hex based and detailed.
The 2d6 reaction table is a sweet social mechanic. It has been suggested in a blog post way back as the old school solution for lots of things. Might be something to it.
Thanks for sharing!
@chgowiz@dice.camp@AndreasDavour Thank you for the kind comments!
We'll see how it goes, like anything else, tweaks and adjustments to fit the table and setting, if needs be.
The 2d6 pattern definitely lends itself to all sorts of situations. All I have to remember, lower is woe for the players, higher is weal. :) Pretty easy
