I'm a CT fan, but...hey. It's Marc Miller and Traveller, together again!
I don't think I can pass this one up.
I have been following this not at all. I really know nothing about T5. Is it still using the T4-ish task system? I hope not. That's one of those systems where the players always know the task number (skill + Stat, roll under with several D6....difficulty by the number of D6 thrown), and that's not a good thing for a story-telling, roleplay oriented GM like myself. I want my players glued to my description of what takes place in the game. That description loses its edge if the player already knows the success of his throw.
That was several years ago when I saw T5 using the updated T4 task sytem, though. Man, I hope that was changed.
So, can someone post a good, solid, unbiased review of T5?
I'm real eager to read it. And, I'm holding off on my purchase until I know a bit more about the game.
