[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 3684413, member: 3608"] For some reason, I'm suspecting Mongoose Traveller to use 2d6 while T5 sticks to Marc's [i]n[/i]d6 task system. The task systems can be written to allow both to be used with the same material. (Like the BITS system.) I have mixed feelings about reversing the "fragmentation". I don't think that's going to end up bringing all Traveller fans together, but just drive people away. On the other hand, I really think all the licensees should be producing generic Traveller supplements using something like the BITS system. Then each group can pick whatever task system they like. I haven't been real impressed by Mongoose, though. I can't help but think this is greatly in danger of going the way of T4. A couple of years ago--when I ran a cT game--the players loved chargen. Yes, even the dying. (I gave them the injury option, they often refused it.) [/QUOTE]
