What Version of Traveller do you play? Reprised

[Beerfume]

Hybrid - Mostly Classic Traveller with a good bit of MegaTraveller thrown in for flavor and a pinch of GURPS to flesh out character generation.

Now that I am reffing again - it's a hybrid: Mongoose for char generation, mostly Classic for tasks, GURPS stuff for various flavors/chrome, some T5 mechanics where I think they fit in, and a lot of winging it.

 

[Celestial]

Mongoose Traveller Second Edition.

looks like a fairly solid shift into mgt. that's good, if it's picking up new players.

Im currently going over the ACT files again and using them.

Pardon my ignorance, but I've been away from the game a long time and have just recently started eavesdropping here.

What, pray tell, is ACT?

I've searched the forums and have been unable to gain a clear answer.

Avenger Classic Traveller.

MJD's house ruled CT variant, using an MT-esque task system... not a whole lot of detail is available here; it was mostly discussed on MJD's own boards.

There was a rumor that it was supposed to be shopped to Marc, but was beat to the draw by Mongoose.

Thank you Mike and Aramis.

I've been going through my gaming materials as of late, and the vote here is definitely an hybrid of CT, with elements of MT, TNE, T4 plus DnD and Arduin Grimoire (both of those for low tech worlds where the weapons technology is mostly pre-gunpowder and psionics is considered "magic").

 

[ShawnDriscoll]

Mongoose Traveller 1st Edition, with some 2nd Edition and some Traveller 5.09 used.

Just getting back in and sold off most of my ref books long ago. What would be a good returning point for rule set? Mongoose, T4 or T5?

The Classic Traveller Compilation CDs from FarFuture.net Followed by the GURPS Traveller CD's. These two sets will give you the best coverage of Traveller and the 3rd Imperium background for referance.

Rules wise it all depends on what flavor of rules that suits you and your group the best.

Of the three? Mongoose if you want something "ready to run", T5 if you want "build your setting"...

but CE is probably the best choice - it's "genericized" Traveller. And closer to CT than MGT is.

I would have to say the 1977 edition of Classic plus some additions from CE.

Found my MGT 1.0 and also purchased CE to explore. I have multiple Gears and Guns type catalogs as well as a few T4 books, but not the core rules.

I think I’m good.
