Some people just love to bitch, especially if that's all they do. James Wallis said (IIRC) "Game designs aren't tools, but some game designers are".

Hey guys, I am a little disappointed that there aren't more comments and more engagement in the group. Does anyone have any cool spacecraft designs? Great weapons? Game ideas? Questions? Let us know.

Battle Dress (ttrpg.network)
 

Battle Dress in the Imperium is complex and generally misunderstood. If you were designing Battle Dress and it didn't currently exist in the Third Imperium what capabilities would it have? Would there be integral weapons? Electronic Warfare? Would the exoskeleton add strength or just endurance? Inquiring minds want to know.

Design Language or Method (ttrpg.network)
 

Do you have a design language or set aesthetic for starships, spacecraft, or weapons in your Traveller Universe? I feel like that after 5,000 years of spacefaaring civilization Humaniti would have some very efficient design ideas. Examples could be all weapons are bullpup configurations because of aiming advantages, or starships tend to be spherical because of the geometry of the jump field. What do you think?

Your Ideal RPG Series or Campaign (ttrpg.network)
 

Saw a discussion on reddit today and thought it might be interesting. Name the system, media influences, and basic plot ideas. Mine is: Over The Edge, Film Noir: Four friends in 1935 are involved in a plane crash in the desert and end up in Al Amarja. Stuck without papers or passports, the group is forced to take piece work from the criminal element to survive. A cross between The Maltese Falcon, Naked Lunch, The Lost Weekend, and Sullivan's Travels.

I have never met a dice-pool mechanic I didn't dislike or despise. What makes your compelling?

For fans of Traveller specifically.

Alternative Rules & Influence (ttrpg.network)
 

I have I think 14 or 15 different versions of Traveller. From classic first edition, to tiny fan-based Traveller Hero and Action! System Traveller. Although these versions give me a wide variety of rules and systems, I still use many other games to provide character and flavor. Games like Theatrix, Mekton Zeta, Last Exodus, and High Colonies. So what systems and settings influence your Traveller settings and series?

Welcome to Traveller (ttrpg.network)
 

In my humble opinion no RPG community is complete without a small forum to discuss the Grandfather of SF RPGs. posts and comments regarding any of the fifteen editions of the game are welcome.
