What Current TRAVELLER Version Do You Play?

[Easterner9504]

I could not find such a poll, yet can't imagine it hasn't been done.

This is a multi-choice allowed poll.

 

[sabredog]

Classic with many years of house rules and such. Striker for combat - although I am revisiting classic combat with my current group. Books 1-5, 8 (not Merchant Prince or Scouts). My own universe from '77 on.

 

[FreeTrav]

I'm basically out of the 'play' loop, and doing support activities - mostly running Freelance Traveller, but I occasionally do development of my own, with the aim of writing the occasional article FOR Freelance Traveller.

Should the question be: 'What version of Traveller do you currently play?' Some choices are not currently being produced except as reprints.

 

[Zparkz]

I use TNE rules exclusively. However, I am slowly converting over to my own setting.

Note the question was so restated on the poll.

 

[Jame]

My group and I have used CT/T4 mix, MT and MGT in our games.

 

[BlackBat242]

CT only, ever, and always.

Yes, I have a couple of MT/T4/GT supplements as resources, but I don't have the rule-books for them... and those "other versions" materials I did acquire have always seemed to have less applicability to my CT game than I had hoped, so I won't be getting any new ones.

 

[aramis]

play with (ship designs, mostly), but not playing, MT, T20, and MGT.

 

[Gallowglacht]

Traveller New Era setting, Spacemaster Privateers rules (houseruled).

 

[Plankowner]

Mongoose Traveller

Settings:
TNE:1248

Currently working on a Proto-Imperium Setting.
I am also working on a MTU setting that will add features from other games (wormholes etc).

 

[Keklas Rekobah]

What version of Traveller do I currently play?

Since there is no option for "Not Currently Playing," I selected "Other."

 

[scrabble]

Mongoose Traveller.

 

[nats]

I play Classic Traveller generally but have bought some Mongoose stuff, wasnt impressed and am now selling it all on Ebay. So I said CT and MGT although its going to be Classic only from now on. When I say play though, I dont play in a group - I play solo designing things etc and may get my young growing family involved at some point (I hope).

 

[JustinInOz]

Running Seven Pillars of Ugayadn using Burning Empires rules.

 

[E.D.Quibell]

MT.

I write my own MT Proto Traveller Universe. Sounds strange I know but it does what it says on the tin. It's a Proto Traveller Universe but done with MT rules.

And I play in an online MT game.

 

[Dragoner]

CT, with Snapshot combat.

 

[aramis]

My last Traveller game ended almost a year ago.

We moved on to more narrativist systems.

That last one was a hybrid of MT and MGT.

Classic traveller is a thread of escapism that has run through my life for over thirty years now. Those little black books have been with me since 1977. I still mildly cringe over some of the notes that date back to my early teens, I can see signs of my developing maturity (and teenage immaturity ) in character bios and adventure plots from the early eighties. When I married and had children my playing style changed ( for some years my characters stopped carrying weapons altogether) I learnt the art of compromise and negotiation. For the last six/seven years I've GM'd exclusively and yet for the past few weeks I've returned to character play. In my mid forties I have just embarked on a campaign over the Internet using gametable.... Something which has proved very enjoyable and has shown me a new slant on role play in general, I know very little about the other players, their tags, their locations around the world some ages and jobs but little else we are connected by a set of game rules over thirty years old and our characters are fast becoming friends.

Just got a dose of nostalgia and went looking at some of my earliest gaming notes: at the tender age of 13 I was trying to convince my GM that mech-1 would allow me the rig a pair of chainsaws to a motorbikes' handlebars, no zombies apparently I wanted to try to hunt long necked grazers!!

Two weeks later I was arguing against being prevented from using battledress as a firing platform for a 81mm mortar.

Mind you last night I stole a mans shoes and shot off his big toe.
