I wish you luck, but everything wrong with TTRPGs can be summarized in the 5e ruleset. Plus, @paizo.com does this 100 times better with Starfinder.

Traveller Mongoose 2nd Ed - Currently GMing - Awesome!

Shadowdark - Kinda fun, reminds me of D&D Basic back in the 80s

DC20 - Needs more time in the oven, but has potential.

Twilight:2000 4th Ed - was a blast!

As you can see, with seven players, the two roles are essential, lol!

See pic for the night's synopsis. (all stored in a dedicated Obsidian Vault)

The record keeper tracks events and the evening's story in a quick overview format and then posts it in our Discord channel. I then extrapolate it, fill in any blanks, and post it in the session history channel. So far, 1st session is done, and it worked out well.

The Face is the leader of the session of the party, coordinating the group, doing simple task rolls, checks, etc. and performs the leadership position in combat. Also speaks for the party in NPC encounters.

So I'm trying something new while running #mongoosepublishing #TravellerRPG 2e rules. I created two player roles that will swap around the party every session. The Face and the Record Keeper. Each award 1XP, requires using optional XP rules from Traveller Companion.

See replies for descriptions.

Hey, my fellow #travellerRPG players and GMs. Starting a new campaign soon. My players are all experienced in TTRPGs, but not Traveller. What are the things every player should know from the get go?

Twilight: 2000
Traveller
Mutant Year Zero

For Sci-fi, Traveller Mongoose 2e edition (building a campaign for this summer right now).

If I want Sci-Fantasy, I would run Starfinder.

In the Mongoose 2nd edition, there is an alternate rule in the Traveller Companion sourcebook that implements this. Iron Man, under alternative character creation, page 13.

I should clarify that this comment is for Twilight:2000. Regarding Traveller, I just picked up the Mongoose Publications 2e version and love it so far.

The 4th edition by Free League Publishing is much more streamlined and enjoyable. I just ran it for my group this past summer into the end of the year. They all (6 players) enjoyed it.

Ran:
1. Pathfinder2e
2. Twilight:2000

Played:
1. DC20
2. 5e-14 1-shot

Playing in a new DC20 game this winter, prepping a Traveller Mongoose2e game for the summer. May play some PF2e with the family.

Same, but I'm finally running Mongoose Traveller 2e this summer. As the forever GM, I finally said f' it. This is what were playing. Just finished a Twilight 2000 session, Traveller this summer, and maybe Gamma World next year.

I just jumped back in the the deep end, having not read or played since the 80s, grabbed the core rule book from a local store, and its awesome. Grabbed the bundle of holding earlier today, and will be adding hardback books as I go. Just ordered the GM screen.

Nice. I have a bunch of pdfs, but I'm gonna see what my FLGS has in stock, and then place an order for a few books after the holidays. A tablet is nice, but nothing beats a hardcover book for reading.

I've been a forever DM since the late 80s. Finally had a player join our group who is happy to run, so I get to sit at the table without a a care in the world for the a while... My gaming happiness knows no bounds, lol!

Plus, gives me time to compose my next game using Mongoose #Traveller rules!

Found the answer to my own question. Not much changed.

With Mongoose Traveller 2e. I have pdfs from 2016, any noticeable differences in the 2022 update? Going to be building a campaign/world over the next several months, and my players are gonna pick up their own copies of the core rules. Not opposed to updating, just don't want to waste $$

Wrapped up my Twilight 2000 session this week. The award for all their suffering, an EM50 from Stripes, cause why not? Fun session for a bunch of armchair privates and one career C5 loadmaster.

2 player deaths, 1 player perm crit damage

10/10, will run again!

#twilight2000 #ttrpg #freeleague

In my current Twilight 2000 game, my players have an M113, but they constantly refer to it as the EM-50 from the movie Stripes fame. I want to stat it out and award it to them on the last session in a few weeks. Has that ever been done before I go all in on figuring it out?

Don't forget Mutant Year Zero by Free League

Yes. Great game system.

Dammit, Joe, you were supposed to pardon the turkey, not the Hunter...
(FYI, I support his decision)

Going to run this sometime in the spring, wrapping up a Twilight 2000 game by years end, then another player is going to run DC20, then I'll run this. Seems like a fun environment, reminds me of 1980s Gamma World (I may pull some maps from that for this)

So after the Black Friday sale at Free League, I'm changing Gamma World to Mutant Year Zero.

So I just loaded up on #FoundryVTT content for Mutant Year Zero. Was gonna run Gamma World this spring, but after reading the primer and some YT Vids, this is a better option for VTT support.
