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.

Best Sci-Fi RPG Of All Time?

I love scifi, I love RPGs, I love lifepath systems, but I managed to consistently miss Traveller through my gaming career. Closest I've come is a friend's game who made a system that was basically an homage to Trav, but his own thing.

At this point in my life I'd rather use something like Fate or DungeonWorld or D&D5e or whatnot to run something space opera-ish, but I'd still be drawing heavily on second hand info about Traveller. ;)

In one of my sketches of a scifi game, I even went and looked up UWP codes and charts for inspiration.
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

Reading over Trav again as I get ready for this weekend's new campaign, I certainly would add points to Trav's contender status for the title of this thread.
