Traveller d20

Hello.

I've been considering a Traveller d20 system game for a long time and now seems like a good time to get one running. I'll be looking for a small group of players at first, with the possibility of adding a second crew to run parallel or as a joint group if the initial adventure goes well.

The game will run on the base Traveller d20 book & game setting with the character races described in there; as that's what I have available right now. The initial story is plotted out and ready to go.

My biggest concern with this is that I ran a search for games listed as running "Traveller d20" on here and no search results came back. Are there T20 games here, or am I basically the only person who liked this version of the game?

I've got it lying around somewhere, and I can tell you that I've never actually used it as a stand alone.  I did find it really useful for importing high tech characters into low tech worlds: such as my Shipwrecked campaign where a group of high tech characters crashed on a D&D style world.

Well, this pretty much explains why I can't find any games on here. Talk of T20 has had one person send a message that got deleted, and another message to talk about their own game. Obviously there's no love for the system; which is a huge shame because it's a really good system. Guess I'll move on. :(

Nobody is "flouncing" but thanks for reading into that, I'll be sure to keep it in mind and avoid your games.

As for the time lapse, in my experience it doesn't take 24 hours for something to get traction on here. I've had games fill up in less time than that. If the only responses aren't interest in the game (and they weren't) plus nobody is running a game marked for that system, that tells us a lot. It was more than enough time.

Even then, I think patience is important.

Snowflake,

Apologies about the deleted post. It was an unforced error on my part. I do have a decent amount of experience with the game, but I have to report that I've not seen much interest in that particular version, though there may well be a level of 'unseen' support (people interested in playing, but without the opportunity due to the lack of GMs willing to run it).

You might be able to change that. I would suggest, given the season, that you not give up hope until Monday though.

Best of luck!

I would agree with Altho.   Offer to run one and see what happens.   You might be surprised.
