This started out as a purely academic exercise (the wife was out, no players around, and I needed a Traveller fix), but has now become a near-obsession. How do you convert characters, monsters, and equipment from non-Traveller games to the each of the different versions of Traveller?
For instance, converting to the GURP system from pre-T5 systems is spelled out right in the GURPS Traveller book, but how to reverse the process? The attributes are easy, the skills take a bit of careful thought, but the character templates...?
Even converting AD&D (1st & 2nd edition) characters and monsters is simple, once you throw out the magic systems.
Cyberpunk to Traveller?
Rifts to Traveller?
________ to Traveller?
Has this been treated before? If so, then how well?
Please don't ask me 'Why' - it's an overwhelming compulsion that's getting out of hand (didja ever see Richard Dreyfus in 'Close Encounters'?).
