Re: (TFT) Welcome Steve, TFT Traveler?

In case some don't know, Steve Jackson Games has published GURPS versions of the Traveller books. Of course, that means more complex than original Traveller, so if that was your real problem with Traveller, it might not help. They might be worth browsing for someone wanting to adapt Traveller to a TFT-based game though since the damage and attribute scales are probably much closer to TFT. Or, it might even make more sense with the re-write, as I think much of the difficulty learning 1980's Traveller rules was that they just weren't written clearly and had many holes in what they provided rules and explanations for. And, the spaceship combat sort of wanted you to understand vector physics... ;->
Sci Fi stuff is a bit more brutal that fantasy/medieval though because strength tends to be more about recon, understanding everything before your enemy locates you, technology, firepower, etc. Kind of like how you can get suddenly killed by one wrong move in Security Station, only worse.

I actually ran a GURPS campaign based on Traveler.
I admired their universe, but making my own worlds
was always a big part of the fun for me.

It worked pretty well.

I would like to do a variation of the campaign
again but my players are more eager to continue
the TFT campaign so it looks like it will be a
while before I get another chance.

Regards, Rick.
