OTU Only: Converting Classic Adventures to MgT2

[Spinward Scout]

Has anyone converted any Classic Traveller Adventures to Mongoose Traveller 2?

Skill Use and Combat are probably the only things that need any converting.

And I'm not sure combat is in the adventure rules much, so maybe that just *works*.

Similarly skills -- I don't think there are any CT skills missing from the MgT inventory?

I was thinking more the mechanics of both Skills and Combat. I'd have to double-check but I think Damage is pretty similar.

There were a couple of CT short adventures converted to MgT 1e - Annic Nova and Death Station can be found in issues of Signs and Portents magazine. The Traveller Adventure was also 're-written' (very slight changes) for MgT.

The differences between CT and MgT1e/2e are minimal - MgT grants more skills.

There is very little difficulty in running a CT adventure with MgT.

Why convert? Will you be running a game?
I do it in part as a math and mental exercise. I want to see how characters/creatures and their tropes would change in approximating their values in a different system. Then use the destination game system and see how it stands up. Sometimes it "feels" right either in conversion. Other times, not so much.

My current project is converting FTL: 2448 to d20, since there is a d20 version of Fringeworthy and Bureau 13, then the lot to Cepheus Engine. Why? Because mushy Mellors are funny fellers...

I'll reboot a classic adventure so that it aligns more with Mongoose's reboot of Traveller.

Thanks Everybody!

These are the positive notes I was hoping for.

I ran Beltstrike (CT edition) using MgT2 rules and CE SOLO supplement; as it turns out the Beltstrike rules for asteroid mining were reprinted in MgT2 in almost identical form, so it didn't really need any converting! I also ran Divine Intervention, that didn't require much converting either except coming up with stats for the stun laser.

Yeah I moved Nomads of the World Ocean to the Trojan Reach for MgT 2e, just had to convert a few stats and vehicles and it was good to go.

I just treat combat as skills.
