Joe Walsh Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 As a long-time fan of both Traveller and Hero, I'd love to buy Traveller Hero, updated for 6e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonPacker Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm not just a fan, I'm here to offer pro bono editing/proofreading. I'm a stickler (being married to a teacher coerces you into the role) and detail oriented, and would rather jump off a cliff than allow a book I was responsible for editing go out with even the tiniest of typographical errors. Looking forward to the updated rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WistfulD Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hey Don, is there any update on this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donm61873 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yes, but we're still discussing numbers. Out for a week -- my son's graduating from his master's program. Then we'll see if we can finalize the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne O'Neimaus Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have (almost) all the original GDW Traveller books, except for the adventure modules (I hate canned adventures). I'd be willing to collaborate & fact-check for compatibility on this project. In particular, I'd like to address normalization/rationalization of original rules -vs- High Guard -vs- Striker. I have some ideas in this regard, but they require acceptance of a certain socio-history status (e.g. basic science knowledge has colapsed in most places, leaving technology to engineering "kludges" around existing but not truly-understood examples). This can justify many of the discrepancies (everybody over TL:8 knows how to build gravitic devices, but nobody really understands how they actually work in a fundamental-science sense). That would also leave certain configurations of technology inherently but "inexplicably" more-efficient than others. Thus, the "standard" small Traveller drives (A, B, etc.) are often more-effective (for unit mass) than a generic High-Guard drive of the same size...

donm61873 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 All we're doing right now is converting the materials in the previously published Traveller HERO material to H6/CC compatibility. Once that is done and Traveller HERO is again available, we could do more. But since nothing is available until the conversion document is ready, that's our first step. I'm about a quarter way done right now with a first pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phydaux Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 All I have to say is that there needs to be a way for your PC to die during character creation. Also, there should be a need to create 20 or so characters before you FINALLY get one with a starship, which then miss-jumps on it's very first attempt, ending up in deep space where the entire party slowly starves to death. Yes, it was nearly 40 years ago, and yes, I'm STILL mad. Nevertheless, I still love the Traveller setting I played & GM'ed a TON of GURPS Traveller about 15 or so years ago. I look forward to playing & GM'ing Hero Traveller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could choose for a character to die, otherwise it was muster out with a crippling wound. As for the rest it sounds like your GM was really being a jerk. BTW if you want that feel of rolling the character up, then run the PCs though one of the random career generators in one of the traveller editions. Keep track what happened every term, then use that to create the PC's background and the skills as a guideline for Hero Character gen.
