SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

You're right (I happen to have Adventure 9: Nomads of the World Ocean right here with me -- I'm digging out all water-related Traveller materials).  Egads, I'm coming full circle.  It seemed so..."new" and gauche, though.

!i!

man, it's been a while since i've played CT/MT--

it depended on the skill, IIRC.  something like recon, which kind of doubled as a stealth or perception ability, you could start at level-0 and then work higher through experience.  pilot or mechanical, OTOH, either use JOT in an emergency or hire someone.  that was the traveller reality--sometimes you won't have all the skills you need, even as a group.  

some players really tried to get a few JOT levels just to be on the safe side.  but as we know, there really is no "safe side" in traveller chargen :D

Personally, I think that handled right the essential spirit of traveller can survive almost any game system.

I like GT, some like CT, even d20, but hey, we're all grognards no matter what dice we use. ;)
RPGPundit is a fucking fascist asshole and a hypocritial megadouche.
