TTRPG Read-Through: Traveller - Book 1

Here is a read-through I did about a year and a half ago (originally posted on Twitter) of one of the all time classics: Traveller by Game Designers' Workshop! This read-through just covers Book 1 - Characters and Combat from the original Traveller box set trio of books. - Christian

This is the 1981 Second Edition printing of the classic Traveller three zine box set! Been wanting to read this for ages now. It's discussed A LOT in Mothership circles.

Really interesting to see GM-less and solo play options here. Didn't realize that was being done explicitly at this time. Also, nice to see "he or she" language here rather than the just "he" you see a lot in older games.

The UPP is clearly the creation of an utterly deranged mind. This seems like a huge overcomplication of just listing stats (unless all your players are proficient in hexadecimal).

[Hi, it's me from the future here (aka now - 2024): I've learned to embrace and love the UPP (or more specifically the planet stat version from one of the other books). It's complicated at first but really quick and cool once you know how to read it.]

I really like Social Standing as a stat replacement for charisma or charm or other social skills you tend to see. Feels like it would have more impact on the story and less of a "Roll to see if you convince him, I guess" sort of anticlimax social skills have most of the time.

I'm now into the "you can die during char creation in Traveller" bits. Really cool in some ways. Really comical in others. It recommends you enlist your bad stat characters into the Scout service because of it's high mortality rate (so you can roll a diff char before play), lol.

Essentially, you roll stats and that's your entire character but to give them some experience they can enlist in a Service. You have to roll to get in and may get rejected. If so, you submit to the draft (get into one at random). You can die. You can gain skills and promotions.

Honestly, the char creation feels like a solo game unto itself. Risk v reward of how far to push your enlistments to boost your skills and standing and benefits. You could have a whole story in your head by the end of it. Great Session 0 material.

As a 34 yr old, this hurts. Apparently, I have -1 Strength, Dexterity and Endurance now...

I admire commitment but asking GMs to use this full char creator for all NPCs (which means generating chars until you get one capable of filling the role you need) is truly too wild. Best part: at the end, it just says you can also pick whatever you want for stats and skills.

The weapons and intro text have much more of a space as a new age of sail vibe to them than I was anticipating. It's cool. Far more Dune than Alien (so far).

Interestingly (unless I missed something), skills are detached from your stats. Your base stats make getting into a Service easier and help you with Saving Throws and such, but skills have their own modifiers based on the situation and your expertise. It's cool (if a bit dense)!

In case you were wondering, there is absolutely no art in this entire book. I'm hoping we'll get some in one of the other two books with vehicles and ships and such but won't be holding my breath. Gives the whole thing a very Serious vibe.

Always interesting to see how older games chose to handle this (or not).

Here's the UPP in action along with quick listing of other character info. Interesting even if it is just too overcomplicated for my tastes.

Can't overstate how much char creation feels like a whole solo game of its own. You can roll a character at age 18 and have them go through seven 4-yr terms in a Service before retiring and having substantial cash, specific possessions, memberships and social standings. Wild.

The character sheet mentions PSIONICS which is exciting (but I'll have to wait till Book 3 for more on that apparently).

Combat is straightforward but has some unique bits: a focus on stealth as an option and movement/attacks occur by all parties simultaneously which means everyone (enemies too) gets to move and then everyone chooses who to attack and you roll them all. Sounds really fun.

Stats have cool effects in battle. Your Endurance stat is the number of attacks you can make before needing to rest (can you imagine if DnD just didn't let you do a base attack at a point?). Strength and Dex can boost or lower certain weapon rolls like you'd expect.

If trained in a weapon, you can give your expertise as a negative mod to your enemy's rolls to attack you to reflect parrying and blocking which is cool. The skills also add to your attack rolls. Skills just seem really useful overall here.

I just love that we get stats for broadswords, revolvers, and laser carbines. Plus, there are even special tables for archaic weapons for when encountering lower-tech civilizations. It feels like a really wide open interpretation of what space could look like. Feels exciting.

A few more equipment tables and a final quick reference page at the back and that's all for Book 1. I'll be back with Book 2 and 3 in the coming days!

Main thoughts: Character creation is very involved but really cool - its own game practically. Skills are very deep in a way that feels refreshing when compared to more stat-focused games. Combat has some fun, chaotic twists. Feels like a wide universe of possibility here so far.

I'll add Books 2 and 3 to this thread when I give them their own read-throughs. In the meantime, here's my newsletter (last two months have Mothership freebies): https://meatcastle.substack.com

And here's my website (with links to my games and modules and all that good stuff): https://shop.meatcastlegameware.com/

The Circle of Life goes on

Life has been reborn in the Pridelands as the rain washed away all the filth of Scar's reign. The herds when they found out son of Mufasa had returned, they started migrating back into the kingdom. The hyenas and Scar's loyal followers, Zira and some other lionesses left (Simba exiled them), and the delicate balance of the land was restored.

All went back into a peaceful manner, and Simba couldn't be any happier as his first cub was born, Bahati. He couldn't help but smile proudly whenever he saw the little cub in Nala's protective paws and when he saw Rafiki lifting him up during the presentation ceremony, Simba just got the feeling of something deep in his soul: from that day on, his place in the great Circle of Life was to secure the future of his son, his family and his kingdom - at any cost.

Time just flew by, and Bahati soon grew into a cub. He was now old enough to start to learn all the royal lessons he was supposed to and Simba was glad to pass on the teachings he had learned from his father.

"Good morning, son. I was about to start my morning patrol and I was wondering if you want to join me?"

[A starter for @immortalitythroughdeath's Evan! Under a Read-more for the sake of trying new things to preserve my organizational sanity] [sorry for the mild whopper btw snake]

Michael stumbles out of the door opposite of where Freddy had been stood just a moment before, music box jingling his least favorite tune. He'd heard it three times now, and now, the 4th night of his job here complete, he's almost done. He's had enough. He did what he came to do, and he's had enough close calls with a second death to last a lifetime. Just one more night to be sure, if he makes it that far.

He watches the animatronics return slowly to their stage, shakily putting jostled chairs back in their proper spots. Foxy peeks out of the curtain, but quickly returns when Michael looks that way.

Good. He doesn't need the speed demon giving him the same treatment that Mangle gave his boyfriend a few years ago, undead or not.

He manages to get out of the building and lock it up without further incident, and once thanks whatever higher power there may be, if there is one, that the payphone outside this shithole still works. He dials a number written on his arm, taking a deep breath as it rings.

He hasn't talked to Chris in ages, not unless he needs something- he promised to keep in touch, but it just.. fell through. He got busy. He forgot. He'll apologize, if Chris comments on it, but.. all he can do right now is hope he has the right number.

Click.

"Hey, is this the right number for Christopher? It's.. It's Mikey."

i'm thinking of making a jamblr discord server where people could roleplay as their ocs. it'd be mostly casual with maybe a few events based around the holidays, and could also be a place to chat about ocs and share lore ideas and theories. if i planned it out a bit more would anyone be interested?

[vintagerpg]

The Fence’s Fortuitous Folly (2018) is the second DCC Lankhmar module. Where the first was preoccupied with the sordid criminal life of the city, this one examines the taint of sorcery that so often lurks down Lankhmar’s dark alleys.

This is a quick one that starts off at the shop of a fence, where two silver plated skeletal hands are displayed, then scuttle off on their own. A chase ensues (the hands supposedly will lead those who follow to a fortune, of course) which uses a fun chase chart to track. The chase ends at a ruined building, where a short dungeon crawl commences and players find the owner of the hands and his nefarious purpose is revealed. It is pretty straightforward and fun (though there is still room for some oddball DCC touches, like an intelligent jelly that can be bargained with).

Ken Kelly is on the cover, and I like it. Inside are Brad McDevitt, Doug Kovacs, Stefan Poag and Cliff Kurowski.

Oh, I should mention that the metallic text on the covers? I think that indicates they were published for the Kickstarter run. I don’t know if they have been reissued since without? But I would love to know that little bit of printing trivia, if it is in your brain.
