Help Get Me Fired Up For Traveller!

[Lidgar]

They great thing about Traveller is its versatility. Since it needs to cover many different tech levels and races, more than almost any other RPG, it is a wide open pallet. But in terms of how I have most often played it ("Space Opera" theme), the suggestions made on this board capture it perfectly.

But there are other options, such as a Halo-themed campaign. Running a Free Trader that runs into Covenant forces, then is marooned on a Halo ring and encounters ancient Forerunner tech and the Flood...

Or a "Longswords & Lasers" mixed tech campaign, taking place on a prison planet where the PC's are wrongly imprisoned and they need to find a way out/off...

Or an encounter with floating dead gods in the very depths of space; each body is the home planet for the Hive...

Yay Traveller!

Raiders of the Lost Ark. For pacing. Ancient artifacts + ruthless militaristic regime is also very much in the Traveller vein.

Good catch. Right up the alley of a classic Keith brothers adventure series from the CT era:
