Traveller Star Wars Conversion

I found this conversion on https://www.happyjacks.org/theimperialmarch/ and I must say that I like the quality of the fan made conversion and it is very representative of what I like about Traveller.

It is something that I want to capture in the Aruna galaxy.

Traveller has one class – a Traveller in space – and what separates different travellers is their backstory. In the Star Wars universe if you were running a rebel campaign it is good to distinguish different rebels using their back story. We see this in Andor with everyone has their own reason for joining the rebellion troupe.

I really enjoy playing Traveller, but I really enjoy the Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars dice mechanics. I would like to do something with the Aruna Galaxy that incorporates both, but I also want to have a skill system that allows for more then one class of character.

Learning to Play an RPG and Character Creation

I think that the best way to be introduced to a new game system is through a one shot adventure using pre-generated adventures.

The reason I feel this way is I’ve done a few Traveller one shots with new players and once the characters were handed out and the story started people can learn how to play the game on the fly.

This is especially true when running scenarios like Traveller Flatlined or the Call of Cthulhu Dead Boarder. The adventures are designed to showcase game play and game mechanics while having a kind of box to play in.

Once a person enjoys the game as it is, then sit down and learn how to create a character, and learn the finer points of the game.
