Hooking players into traveller from other sources.

[Fritz_Brown]

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of the breakdown of Alexander Jamison's Prior History that they had in The Traveller Book (if you have it). One page per character. Showing how they came up with the character concept. With what he did in each term, and so on. High term characters, low term characters, multiple service characters, etc... All wrapped up and ready to play, but not just stats - things the Ref could use for inspiration in the game on the fly or that the Player could use to play in character better. That might get more people into Traveller if they see different character concepts and not just a stat block.

Actually, that would be a very cool item. And, lay it out such that the rolls are on one side, with referee/player interpretation of events on the other side.

Indeed, I've always seen this concept as one of Traveller's strengths. It may a little more imagination on the players' part, but I find other RPG system "1st Level" characters quite insipid by contrast.

Pre SW d6, we used Traveller rules to play Star Wars - style games.

And Aliens, and a few other films.
