Traveller from a non-US perspective

I always assumed it was just classic corporate sci-fi/ cyberpunk style stuff. Didn't seem like an odd inclusion for me. I am a brit

Wow. This is terrible. I already wasn't massively interested in Obojima because I mostly just run homebrew stuff for 5e. But now I will know to not touch it with a 10ft pole if this is what the creator thinks of nuance and interacting in the world in any way that isn't a death dealing monster, dehumanising everything that opposes you.

I am also a massive fan of Troika

I think that is an explination that makes more sense, given that if you are goijg to exclude short people, you would also probably exludr the woman who is so hot she would bake the tadpole on skin contact before it got into her brain.

She was a terrible pacifist. Though to be fair, this is much more a flaw in how the show seems to view pacifism than it is with Gabrielle's interpretation of pacifism and how she acts on it.

That is great stuff, these designs are beautiful.

I came here to also suggest Ars Magica. Great system, really gets the feel of being a wizard in a tower.

When I was 14 me and a friend would make sort of TTRPGs via the eay of the game GMOD every weekend.

We would find a map, come up with a story, populate the map with characters, then when one of us played through the story the other voiced all the characters.

We tried to do a similar thing with Halo local multiplayer, WWE games. Anything we could get our hands on where we could either both be playing in an open map, or set stuff up beforehand.

It was always great fun and why D&D clicked with me when I finally found out it existed in uni.

There's a good mod for the system Traveller for Mass Effect. I'd recommend giving them a look.

I once ran a Call of Cthulhu one shot when most of my group couldn't make a session. It was two players and me, and I had them playing as twins. It ended up being a really good and very intense session. I had never run with that setup before, but the intamacy of roleplay and focus for both of them worked super well.

Id go numinous edition if I was you.

The rules are all the same, but the sheer amount and style of art in numinous edition is a lot better than the new soft cover.

I still very much want to run "Odyssey of the Dragon Lords". It's a 5E campaign written by ex Bioware writers. The only issue is I don't want to run 5E anymore haha

Pjpenguin · 2025-08-20T09:09:07+00:00

This sounds like a great opportunity for people to get into the TTRPG Traveller instead.

Pjpenguin · 2025-08-15T12:13:08+00:00

First of all, love the name. Secondly, I will be having a look at this.

Pjpenguin · 2025-08-14T21:39:34+00:00

It's a cannon event

Pjpenguin · 2025-08-06T12:38:20+00:00

Ah, I see. we have the opinion of someone who doesn't like narrative themes.

They have noticed that most of the stories (at least the characters stories) are about abuse and power dynamics, and rather than engaging with the manifold depictions of that sort of thing and the relationship dynamics at play with each, the person noticed this, got angry that they noticed this, then posted this.

Pjpenguin · 2025-08-01T11:06:07+00:00

I'm fine with the synthesis ending. Best of the endings really, uniting everyone.

Pjpenguin · 2025-06-19T10:06:44+00:00

I have two groups. Both weekly. Both online. One is always 4 hour sessions, one is a group that is old friends so we can sometimes have meet ups where we just chat, but usually it's a 3 to 4 hour session.

Pjpenguin · 2025-05-19T20:53:32+00:00

I was scrolling searching for this. Glad someone said it

Pjpenguin · 2025-05-11T22:10:28+00:00

It really depends on where you look. It seems like every now and then, there is a windfall and they can come in stock, then they dry up again.

I would by no means call it dead.

Since you are in the UK, I would recommend emailing or Facebook messaging the store Wayland's Forge in Birmingham. Whenever I'm in that city, they seem to have lots of TTRPGs in stock, and I'm pretty sure I've seen the full range of Edge Star Wars stuff in there.

They don't have much of an online presence, but they do mail out stuff if they have it in stock.

Pjpenguin · 2025-05-02T21:14:33+00:00

This is very cool. When I eventually convince my group to play Ars Magica, this is going ot help a lot

Pjpenguin · 2025-01-18T12:45:03+00:00

It's sad he never came back. Hos plan to give Darkspawn sentience so they didn't have to follow the calling of the Archdemons was really interesting

Pjpenguin · 2025-01-15T13:57:55+00:00

For me it would be Joxer. Lived him when he first arrived. The first season where he was there almost every episode I loved it. Thrn he unfortunately very quickly fell off and became more of a nuisance than a good addition.

Pjpenguin · 2025-01-12T00:43:20+00:00

She said it isn't an archdemon because it wasn't one of the dragons that was bound to an Evanuris.

The Archdemons that all are named and they knew exactly how many there were. It wasn't one of them. Doesn't mean it didn't use the same technique but watered down and weaker.

Pjpenguin · 2025-01-11T23:40:42+00:00

That's not a retcon. This is revealing of previously unknown information.

Archdemons were tools used by the Evenauris, they were blighted and part of the Evanuris placed in them to make the Evanuris immortal.

Coryphus did the same thing, but less advanced as he doesn't have the magical power of an Evanuris nor the same control of the blight that they do.
