This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[In my Traveller universe] Catalog and musings

Over the years I've accumulated several displacement tons of house rules and setting changes for Traveller. They lie scattered in various computer files, notebooks, and margin annotations, and I decided to start a thread where I could actually collect them in one place along with commentary on my rationale, and maybe get a little feedback from other Traveller gamers along the way.

Traveller is one of the most extensively supported roleplaying games ever, with numerous editions, supplements, board games, out-of-print apocrypha, fanzines and an active intreweb fanbase which produced at least as much new material as the official publishers themselves. It's a hot mess, particularly the original, 'classic' Traveller, which remains my favorite edition of the game. It's the one roleplaying game for which I have boxes and boxes of published material and folders full of pdfs. I am not a true completist, though I believe I have most of the materials published for original Traveller and a fair amount for MegaTraveller as well. I'm also going to use this thread to catalog the stuff I actually use in-game.
