Hey heres an idea!!!...why not uplift some apes....and....Wait....nevermind...been done...

If you all would stop Groneing and shaking your heads for a second....Why Not????....it would open a whole new aspect to traveller....5 or 6 movies to use as "Sourse Books"....easy to adjust STATS......could be interesting.

would be a Very Good Striker Campaign!!!!

ATypical scene at most Imperial marine boot camps, eh?

 

[trader jim]

Question....I am serious now...is there any reference to UP LIFTING animals in the TRAVELLER CANNON....all joking aside can we use it or not???

 

[themink]

I'm not an expert on Canon, but I thought that Dolphins were included in CT.

This would validate that it is possible. The question is, why would you bother. There are a lot of other races out there. Why uplift something paying guzillions of dollars - to duplicate something that is probably already out there.

I can understand that, if the universe were much more sparsly populated you might do so (ie when Grandfather was arround) however this is no longer the case.

So no - I don't have uplifted things IMTU - but then I didn't have dolphins either - all my PC races had similair life support requirements to humans - It just made everything easier

 

[BluWolf]

I cannot quote or site canon but I can mention there is any easy way to this under T20 with refeneces in other settings.

Simply create a generic "uplift" template and then slap it on just about any creature you want (minus the afore mentioned ferrous rabits).

Boris Karloff/Vincent Price yer not.

Now, if'n yer interested...there is the Traveller Chronicle issue (TC# 8), which I have (and several others on this board list).pp46-55.
Gives specific examples of uplifting/ geneering certain races, from pets to Humans. "Not set specific for any setting/ maybe used in any era".
Authors Andy Lilly, Jo Grant.

for the thread: Beaker Monkey's are an example.

heretically yours,
