Sell me on TNE

[spank]

He asked for my opinion and I gave it. I don't like 1248. I'm allowed my opinion and allowed to share it. If you don't agree you can at least do me the courtesy of not painting me as some antisocial zealot.

 

[Malenfant]

I'm merely pointing out that your opinion is not entirely rational, spank. Ironically, you're exactly like the TNE-haters who did everything they could to slag off TNE when it came out simply because it wasn't what they expected. Or because it somehow invalidated everything they'd done beforehand when nobody was forcing them to use it.

You don't like it? Fine, don't buy it then.

But you are in no position whatsoever to declare that it is not a valid successor to TNE.

 

[spank]

Courtesy is not saying sir before you sling around terms like "not rational" or "one in every crowd". If you wanted to be courteous you would not use terms like that at all.

 

[Malenfant]

Courtesy is stating a rational opinion with an explanation backed up by fact instead of making a sweeping, irrational, emotional statement about a game just because you don't like the direction in took and are sulking because nobody listened to you when you demanded it be changed.

Fine, we get that you don't like 1248. Like I said, don't buy it, and don't get on everyone's backs when they say they do. Quite why you're still so bitter about it, I have no idea.

 

[spank]

What is it that bothers you so much when someone dares to think differently than you?

 

[Malenfant]

What bothers you so much that you feel the need to threadcrap with an unsupported blanket statement and then get all indignant when someone points out your history of whining about the game on the playtest? Get over it. It has already been established on the playtest that you are in a very small minority here and that you were doing your cause no favours at all by your insistence that things change solely because you say so.

Maybe we can actually get back on topic now, or are you going to strop some more?

It might be fun to play TNE using Savage Worlds. I wonder if anyone has done a conversion.

 

[mike wightman]

There are Savage World Traveller conversions, here's a good pdf one.

 

[spank]

Maybe you missed the part where opinions of 1248 were asked for. A terse 20 word reply with my opinion does not constiute threadcraping. The smart thing, the polite thing would have been to let it go at that, not go on about it for half a page. That only calls more attention to it. But you cannot tolerate anyone who dares to think differently than you.

I've seen that, but it really is more of a Classic Traveller conversion. I'd like to see something more TNE-y.

I'm going to start a new thread about it.

 

[mike wightman]

Ask the same question at rpg.net, there are probably more Savage World users there.

 

[Random Goblin]

I did, but nobody bit.

Oh well, I'll have to do it myself.

 

[mike wightman]

Here is a page which contains links to many game conversions.
Some of them may be good for ideas.

 

[Malenfant]

I'm not sure how much luck you'd have asking for conversions to other system on CotI - the impression I get is that most people here have played Traveller (and only Traveller, it seems) with one of the systems that have been provided for it.

The GT people know more about GURPS, the T20 people know more about d20, but beyond that it seems to be pot luck as to whether anyone know anything else.

Might make an interesting thread/poll that, actually...

 

[Random Goblin]

It just seemed like a good idea. I just got Savage worlds, and it is excellent.

TNE sounds like a great setting, but I'm turned off by the system, and I'm not the only one.

So, yeah, you could run TNE using another Traveller rules set. But Savage Worlds is so much fun.

Yes, use it with your favorite Traveller rules. Or as an inspiration for your modified post-Collapse OTU. It has potential - don't let the ruleset prevent you from using it.

1) I'm not a dinosaur, I'm closer to a raccoon, or a pack-rat, shifling through the remains of the past to create my future. I do not use CT as-is; I rebuild it to suit my needs.

2)What do I say nay to? The overuse of the Virus in TNE Cannon?

3) I'm not a grognard, I'm a light grearheading universe-building story-teller.

 

[Low-G Vagabond]

Can someone clue me in on Savage World, is that another game system or something?

Thanks,

 

[mike wightman]

Yep, Savage Worlds is a game system.

Here's a link to the free rules lite version.

Warning, it's a 3 meg pdf.
