Title: 40k careers for Traveller?
Post by: danbuter on January 25, 2014, 02:09:14 PM
Do any of you know if someone has posted 40k career conversions for Traveller? I am mainly interested in the Inquisition, but any conversions would be nice.

I haven't heard of any, but you might want to check really old issues of White Dwarf from the early eighties when GDW and GW had a much closer working relationship.

Arent 40k careers more like personality faults in other RPGs?

Space Marine = Soldier + Inquisition
Adeptus Mechanicus = Engineer + Inquisition
Space Merchant = Merchant + Inquisition
Inquisitor = Inquisition + Inquisition

That's an idea! I could actually get into Rogue Trader or Dark Heresy using Traveller. Or BRP for that matter.

Well, going at it from a Classic Traveller perspective, I'd make Inquisitors high ranking Agents, Marines are Marines but with +2 Strength and Endurance and -2 Dexterity from their implants.  I'd also require a ten in Strength, Dexterity, and Endurance to enter training to be a Space Marine.  Marines don't age normally, essentially getting free Anagnathics.  The Imperium runs its own Psionic Institutes and has a range of Esoteric disciplines beyond the range of a forum post.
