[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 4861574, member: 51747"] Hi. And thank you for your interest in Traveller. Before I begin, let me just say that as a Traveller 3rd party publisher, I am biased. Traveller is a great game. Its easy to learn. The whole systen is: Roll 2d6, add modifiers, if the result is 8 or higher, you succeed. That's it. That's for skills and combat. Because the system is so easy, its easy to say something like: I want to do (insert something crazy, like bounce a grenade off a wall at a weird angle to get it close enough to your enemies) and the GM just assigns a quick difficulty modifier and you roll it and continue on. Its easily customizible to your homebrew setting. Making your own setting is very easy. The core book has a system generation system that is fun and easy. There are rules for alternate tech like Warp Drive/babylon 5 style gates/etc. But if you don't like any of those its easy enough to swap it out with your own preferred tech and move on. Prefer ray guns to shot guns, quick swap out and you're good to go. Traveller really is a great game, I highly recommend checking it out (and checking out the products made by my company ;) ).
