I've always had a soft spot for Traveller - it was the first RPG I encountered, in the late 70s - and am glad to have been really able to make it work for me in this current campaign.I use the implicit setting - nobles, Imperial Navy and Marines, etc - plus some elements from Book 6 (on Scouts) and White Dwarf (the Covert Survey Bureau, Naval Counterintelligence, and the Planetary Rescue Systems Inspectorate). I ignore all the Imperiusm setting stuff and metaplot. I've rolled up a starmap as we go along, on an as-needed basis.I have my own write-up of the rules, that complies Books 1 to 3 (1977 edition) plus bits of Books 4 to 7 that I like, some stuff from Andy Slack in the early White Dwarfs, and one or two bits of my own invention. Our PC gen is Book 1 + Book 4, but with some of the newer skills added to the tables, and incorporating MegaTraveller's "bonus skills" line. I find it produces PCs with a good but generally not too good range of skills.I treat the various subsystems as analogous to "moves" in a PbtA game. Here's how I described it in another recent thread:EDIT: That should be Supp 4 in the description of character gen!</blockquote>
