[QUOTE="Morte, post: 1094830, member: 9413"] *spies his former NWN co-DM coming over the horizon* Hiya Padril, not too bad. It's a loose interpretation of a game being played. I have plenty of authorial license. I guess Traveller aimed at the "what would it be like to exist in this world?" style of play, rather than the "how do we vanquish our enemies?" default for D&D, or the "let's make the coolest possible story" systems like Sorcerer and Dust Devils. But it's a big ruleset, people can and do bend it every which way. Some people play Traveller games where the PCs are Imperial Marine commando units on mission. But on the whole there's less combat than D&D in most Traveller games. It's too dangerous to make a habit of it -- one bullet will kill you, guards are ex-soldiers rather than mooks, and there's no Raise Dead. There's plenty of [i]conflict[/i], but [i]combat[/i] is not the stock way to resolve it. [/QUOTE]
