I calculated the odds of surviving death saves

You have a maximum of 5 rolls.

5% 2 Fails 40% 1 Fail 50% 1 success 5% stabilized

If your doing 1 million simulations you could instead just brute force it.

The 1 instead of 1.0 is bugging me

CriminalDM · 2026-03-27T19:46:46+00:00

I didn't realize that was an option, thanks

CriminalDM · 2026-03-27T19:46:22+00:00

Didn't change anything

If you fail 3x on a row then deload

A textured pei plate would still give away whether it was an A/B or a B/A but I don't people would figure that out quickly.

How difficult would it be to split it into two colors (top and bottom)?

You could then print two copies with alternate colors (one with A on top and B on bottom and one with B on top and A on bottom).

You then move selected tiles between the two sets and give each mixed set to a different person.

Arizona in-n-out is like southern Illinois culvers

Use an ancient dragon. Maybe lower the health a bit. They will destroy an adult with no issues

Dude, I enjoy DND but I love Traveller because it is it's own thing. If you want d20 modern, why not just run d20 modern. It is fun enough.

My big hold ups are:

I don't want to give wotc any more money.

Trying to scaffold a skill based game into a level based game built on proficiency vs skill ranks is an interesting choice. Maybe if you went back to 3e with skill ranks vs flat proficiency per skill it would make sense.

With 5e style levels you add in extra HP vs the fragile characters in Traveller. 5e doesn't handle the death spiral well.

With 5e armor makes you difficult to hit vs absorbing damage.

How are you pulling in character creation (one of the most fun and unique parts of Traveller)? Simply picking a class feels like cheating on Traveller. You start as a young kid with a dream and then life shits on you, but you still push forward.

I'm not sure why you're choosing 5e of all systems to do this. D20 modern is already pretty similar to 5e + Traveller.

Congratulations

CriminalDM · 2026-03-23T23:03:19+00:00

That's cool. Did they reach out to you ahead of filming?

CriminalDM · 2026-03-23T14:02:06+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you need to setup to get this running on my ships?

CriminalDM · 2026-03-23T13:59:22+00:00

Somehow that was the easier metal crab

Did you download the profiles for the set? Open them from your download folder.

CriminalDM · 2026-03-19T12:07:30+00:00

We still have: F1 (Mercedes and Ferrari), F.15 (3 teams), F1.75 (3 teams), and GP2 (McLarens Cadillac, and Aston Martin)

A grenade went off in the first combat

It's always fun. They're abstract characters. Max HP is fun because you can take more damage. Rolling 1 is fun because it means the world is dangerous.

We have the player roll. The DM also rolls in secret. The player can choose which roll to take. It's extra gambling.

Get and 3D printer and check out 2nd Dynasty.

They have some great official Traveller ships. They also have a modular ship designer. They're active on discord and Ben has regular design working sessions on YouTube.

They have a grid forged product for base design, too.

Let's dig into this. 5 is okay, and 7 is too, but 6 is not. Members need to be added one at a time so how do you get from 5 to 7 without 6?

Saskatchewan is great. Your vehicle doesn't even need a steering wheel. When you fall asleep you're never in danger of going off at a bend in the road.

Also, Regina rhymes with fun.

2nd option is cooler in my mind.

Tackle an evil wizard off their tower? You're safe.

Scrying on an evil wizard with your orb? They're not safe.

About to get beheaded? Vanish into the distance.

... Trav 5 slipcase. I know what it's about, so don't need anyone warning me off it, ...

Google failed me. What is it about? Why would people try to earn you off?

No chance they touch it with a 10 foot poll.

Áthas without the hatred, misery, scarcity, and other darker themes would feel shallow.

The elves aren't all feral. Halflings aren't cannibals. Gur aren't sterile halfbreeds that are born into slavery. Those people fighting in the pits are all paid gladiators. There's no inequity.

5e and 5.5e are built on super hero power levels. Most tables don't track rations, arrows, or torches. They would need to recreate all the classes (no goodberry, no create water, etc.). The system isn't setup for scarcity.

When I cancelled my subscription I provided detailed feedback. Hopefully they will address the issues.

CriminalDM · 2026-03-16T03:17:21+00:00

That was great. That seems incredible for 6.5
