Really big. Really, really big. To get an idea, go to https://travellermap.com/ Classic Traveller is “hard sci-fi” of the 70s and early 80s. Computers were huge and home computers weren’t a widespread thing, no internet, etc. For example: Some ship schematics have large area for computers. Lack of faster than light communications led to a more feudal / regional governmental system throughout the empire Weapons run the range from rocks to firearms to lasers. Daggers and knives are still very common because you don’t want to use lasers or bullets on a ship Ships usually carried a lot of sand. If enemy ships appeared, they could drop sand that would act as chaff / defense against lasers No hit points, damage is deducted from attributes Similar attributes to D&D, however instead of Wisdom and Charisma there was Education and Social Standing. Those could be codified, where the other two are more subjective No experience, no levels… advancement is through wealth, status, etc. Skills CAN be changed during adventuring by going back college or joining the military, etc. Or the Imperium goes to war and veterans get called back to service. Certain attributes can be changed during play… for example you marry into nobility They chose six siders because people already had them at home and would not need to buy polyhedrals Traveller appealed to David when he was younger because it cost less than the D&D books
The Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD campaign continues. As the cleaners arrive to get Lil' Jambles apartment squared away, the group heads to the MDB VAL-U store to pickup some new clothes and can't seem to catch a break.
The Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD campaign continues. An opportunity to earn some big credits presents itself to the Damon's Rejects as they join an illegal street race. Will Tucker and the crew be able to beat Big Shad or die in a fiery ball of death?
The Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD actual play continues! Welfare checks in the mail, yet disappointing, the Damon's Rejects seek out other ways to earn some creds. Tucker gets an interesting opportunity to make some big money.
