I am curious about using the D20. Teavellers flat progression makes 2D6 work throughout the game. Will they try to make the D20 work in a flat progression or will they make Traveller into like a level 1-10 game like they did with Carbon 2185?

This is getting very offensive so im gonna back out. Thanks for the discussion so far.

Yes, they are using it as a "less good way to play that some people like for some reason" and ignoring folks who find it objectionable. Then, tossing out the classic "too many definitions to mean anything". Its rehtorical device to control the concept.

Yeah thats a lot of years to know somebody. Im curious what exactly is triggering the disappointment? Thats always hard to determine. Some folks are very sensitive to GM prep and set up to the point I dont even know how their games work. The buy in is part trust and part preference. Its a...

Nostalgia, mostly. It reminds me of the days as a kid learning to play RPGs. I will say I dont like OSR games in the long term. I dont like OSR campaigns, but I do like one shots and short runs a lot. It sort of reminds me of firing up a NES simulator and getting that Nintendo hard fix where a...

I think you have provided decent context here, but its still hard to say. Was the campaign a sandbox where the players can do anything they want or just as importantly not do things they dont want? If there was a hard coded understanding that is how the game will proceed, I could see some folks...

I dont remember the movie at all, but the Judgement Night soundtrack is bangin.
