@SteveG Hey this is less awful to put in a final draft than the chance, in early Traveller, that your character could DIE during generation!
And we loved it! I learned more about math playing 1ed. Traveller than I did in all my HS math classes - because I drew cartoons in them. Traveller math was IMPORTANT!
@Shawn Traveller certainly helped me in my Physics class!
@SteveG
Meanwhile, in Star Wars d6: “It’s 2d hours x your hyperdrive multiplier.”
“From where to where?”
“Anywhere to anywhere. Starfield go whoosh! There you are!”
(Slightly oversimplifying… but only slightly…)
@LizardSF Yep. Even now, automation and simple AI, just tell it what you want and let it do the rest. As for FTL, who know how it will work, if it ever does?
