Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in -2545 Imperial Calander (So, 1977 Solomani). In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

I tend towards Army, Scouts,or Merchant for general play, though I'll go Navy if I'm trying to build an Engineer.

>>53233182
>What rules do you straight up ignore?
Most dicepool modifiers are abstracted. Same for shooting at/though cover.We also tend to forget that wound modifiers affect Initiative
>What rules do you change? How do you change them?
I try to simplify the Matrix as much as possible. I'll usually ask for a Hacking/Cybercombat roll to gain access to the system, then Matrix Perception to fin what you're looking for, then Hacking/Cybercombat to do the thing you want to do.
I changed the Marks into a system of "User level". 1 Mark gets you guest access, 2 Marks give you user access, 3 Marks give you admin access. This works for entire PANs/WANs.
Astral Projections move at regular speeds. Fuck you spirits, you already have broken stats, tons of armor and can move through walls, you don't get to blink around the place like you're the fucking Flash.
>What parts of the setting do you change or remove?
Not much really. Most of the cringy things happen deep in the shadows, and my group is made of newbies. We play before the nano-apocalypse, and I'm going to have it limited to Boston, with just a few headcases escaping confinement and being hunted by all AAA corps, forcing them to leave the planet.
>>53233182
>What parts of the setting do you change or remove?
No one liked how common magic is supposed to be, so my game has awakened being several orders of magnitude more rare.
No CFD either, I'm doing my own AI and nanotech plot.

>Cthulhu Invictus: Alexandria ca. 78 AD in the twilight of Vespasian's reign. Alexandria has become a refugee city hosting a sizable Jewish and Christian population swelling into a truly cosmopolitan zone at the fringe of the Empire's reach. Your illustrious and benevolent patron, Quintus Avidius Falto, has sent out a runner as the last of the night's wine was finished requesting you arrive for salutatio before daybreak.
>Maztica: notAmazonian bands trying to deal with the cycle of growth and collapse that the city dwellers across the mountains (notInca). I'd really like to simulate some tribal and Andean cultures and MAYBE implement a playtest for some civ building rules I whipped up from Fudge and Aria, if the group is so inclined. Will probably impose some harsh race/class restrictions at first but this can maybe be negotiated, Maztica already had a poverty of races. Likely 5e just for ease of finding players despite the narrow setting....Everyone's sorta familiar with Rome so if you want more information on what I have in mind for this setting just contact for details.
My regular group is going through serious life shit, so I'd like to get a semipermanent game going. Not looking for: /pol/, anit/pol/, excessive autism (complaining, whining, entitlement, etc.), lewd. Am looking for: experienced players (has played sessions of something other than D&D), /his/fags, sane rational adults. Msg me with which you'd rather play and why, and when the first game to hit three or four serious replies I'll send out links for notes/books and make a roll20 or whatever.
>>53233936
>excessive autism (complaining, whining, entitlement, etc.)
Does not mean "don't question me" it means don't throw a tantrum when someone other than you gets the spotlight or grind things to a halt with wildly off topic griping.
>>53229424
The other two replies I got came through discord just fine. I see you didn't send me an email either, so there's not much I can do. You certain you didn't misspell 'viracocha' or mistype the number?
Your character encounters a box of kittens in the middle of the street. The mother cat is nowhere to be found. Written on the box it is scrawled: "FREE KITTENS"
What does your character do?

Setup a stand, scrath off free and sell them for a reasonable profit.

>Share that homebrew you're particularly proud of, be it a piece of kit, fluff, planet or a voidship,
Since I'm OP this time and have a huge love of cocks, let me start off by reposting stuff from the last thread.
The wip document for my homebrewed sector, Acheron. An old and decadent shithole with pretentions of being the only civilized place in the pimply blackened ass end of the Eastern Fringe it finds itself.
>>53203610
And the wargear I've made for my games. Somewhat hit and miss since it's a combination of being the first stuff I ever homebrewed and things I've learned as I've gone by.
/tg/ I've been trying to build a tzaangor, but I'm stuck. Every talent it needs as a frontliner sends its alignment to Khorne, while its best abilities need it to be Tzeentch. How the fuck do I build this thing while keeping true to the fluff?

Not payday, but I managed to snag a copy of 'Panic Station' for less than $20 delivered to my doorstep. :)

>What're you planning/playing this weekend?
Stronghold with the wife is probably all this weekend. Maybe a little netrunner, who knows.
>Assuming it's payday what new toy are you running off to grab after work?
Nothing's beckoning to my wallet right now, too much stuff I already have hasn't seen enough plays and there aren't really any hot releases drawing me astray. And I have enough kickstarters I'm waiting on.
>>53198621
>Assuming it's payday (gotta be for somebody) what new toy are you running off to grab after work?
I may not get it this paycheck, but I'd like to pick up a copy of Forbidden Stars before it's too late

Reposting for the new thread.
I think this is finished (for now).

Well we know from End Times that Lileath's plan for the Bretonnians is that, if she can make her new pocket world with her lover and daughter as head gods, then all of her damsels and grail knights that have ever existed will be granted godhood and become the human pantheon. So while she does use them a pawns, she wants to reward her favorite ones.
She still kills all the boys with magical talent and doesn't give a fat fuck about peasants though. One of her spheres is manipulation, she's not a nice girl.
However, the Brettonians DO find out about all this in the End Times. The knights' response is to completely abandon the alliance between all the non-chaos races that is trying to stop the end of the world. They just completely give up on anything because of how much they hate Lileath over their entire existence being a treachery. Hell, on their way home they even find an injured Lileath and they basically just spit on her and leave her to die. They are not happy.
Duke what's-his-face, who does stay behind in that alliance, even accidentally revealed Lileath's plan to Bel'akor when he had an earlier confrontation with her over her bullshit. This leads to Bel'akor invading Lileath's baby pocket realm before it can grow into a full replacement for Warhams world, killing the two elves and all the human souls before they can even do anything. The whole thing was for nothing.

What's your character's drink of choice?
Fine Caar Whiskey? Indescribable swill the engineer made in the reactor room? The classic Gargle Blaster?
Speaking of space alcohol, would wine from other planets taste different? Fancy wine folk talk about a wine's terroir, how it tastes like where it's from. Would space wine have a different terroir? Could certain planets' wine be desirable on the interstellar market? The same goes for other fancy food like cheeses and shit.
I'm just wondering if stuff like that would make a viable trade good?
