It might be because of the large differences in the rules systems, and people see things they like in a system and take them to their favorite system. It could also mean that they enjoy tweaking Traveller, or think that it's more worthwhile to tweak Traveller than other things.Originally posted by Malenfant:
And I don't think it's because Traveller is vaguely generic either... I know with GURPS I never modified the basic engine at all - it just worked fine out of the box, so I never had to. But with Traveller we seem to have people tweaking rules left right and centre.
I wonder if Traveller fans tweak other games that they play anywhere near as much. If they don't, then that implies that there's something specifically about Traveller that requires that it has to be modified to be playable, which is rather curious...
That's almost exactly what I do. I use MT chargen and skill mechanics, occasionally refer to a book for trade or a house rule for combat, but mostly just let characters RP and let the skill system help move that along. MT's skills really are just CT's mechanics rationalized and cleaned up a bit. And that's the best thing in MT, no doubt in my mind.Originally posted by TheEngineer:
Hi !
Regarding the rules you really need to play IMHO MT could be and is used by myself as it is.
Usually the only rule thing I need is the task system, followed by personal combat rules. The rest is used just rarely (trading and space combat)...

LOL! That's me, too.Originally posted by flykiller:
(searching under a pile of house rules) I know I started with CT, it's in here somewhere ....
I voted CT. In practice, it's "roll two dice and make something up".
I don't think I've ever really tweaked Traveller much, apart from ignoring the rules totally, in the way I mentioned above.

CT...may she never go quietly into the night.
