it's more and more true

lying condescending bleh I just hate people anymore Louis: Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul...

70's TV was often crap, endless MASH, Three's Company, or Happy Days. Blake's Seven, and Dr Who were awesome, and only seen on PBS, but PBS wasn't so bad, back then there weren't a lot of TV channels. I remember seeing Image Union, and it was pretty good: Image Union - Wikipedia

Chris is a good guy doesn't deserve this, I shared it on masto and fb.

I loved this as a kid, and have run it a lot in games, different genres, like sci-fi, did a nod to it in a book.

I definitely feel the pull away from RPG's and just play boardgames.

Nobody wants realistic healing though, damage can take forever to heal, or never.

I think the balance point is how fast it is.

Book 2 is Starships, it's an integral part of the game, we were playing Imperium, a wargame by GDW in Chess club, and a friend saw Traveller in the catalog. You can get Pilot 6 from Character Generation, I saw someone the other day have a skill 6, think it was gun combat. Pilot 3 is not all that...

apples to oranges

Why? I am very familar with how Traveller's skills work, I don't need anyone to explain them. Pilot 3 is nothing like 5e's 18.

You hate space combat, so you don't care about pilot skill, so your pilot one isn't baseline it's just your way of playing the game. Do you get how what the skill has informed the game? Probabilities don't work by frequency of rolls, one roll or a 1000 the probability of success of failure don't...

I like a PC to be compent, and for the player to be confident in their PC too; easy enough for them to have skill 3 in their main task, using the skill packages, and connections, plus in Kosmic (Cepheus Engine, Mongoose 1e derived) I give them a point for their main task, such as pilot...

What about combat? Though anything, look at the probability on that roll, and how punishing it is for the whole party it can be to miss.

Certain things might be true in Dragonlance vs Traveller, I haven't played it, is it some sort of D&D from a long time ago? Cool. Though like with Traveller, what are your probabilities? I mean Pilot 3 is probably minimum for being a regular pilot, because nobdy would climb into that starship...

Baker Who and Space:1999 and the special effects I find quiant in like, "here's a bic lighter, and some cellophane, do magic!"

Oh goody, it's a half movement day.

What's cool about real life damage, is that it never really heals. Uh maybe not. lol

People side with strength a lot, it's natural, and then flee when the bully gets it.

To us it's a bug, to them it's a feature, "the leader principle" or something. Though I would say it is quite a bit older.
