This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Classic Traveller and The Fantasy Trip?

If he's not motivated by money, I invite him to sign the rights over to me for one thin dime.

If it's any consolation - in an alternate timeline where TFT has been continuously in print from Steve Jackson Games, the upcoming Dungeon Fantasy boxed set is conceivably the 5th edition. Somewhat evolved and gone sideways, but the roots are still there.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.

Good one. I'll stick with my hardcover 3rd edition from that timeline!

Yeah, 4e did kinda jump the shark for me when they removed Cidri as the default setting...

But it was kind of cool how they released that Glorantha boxed set...setting off that firestorm of which are better: anthropomorphic Ducks or Prootwaddles?

Does anyone on the forum currently play The Fantasy Trip? I gather a few of you own copies but it sounds like most of them are mothballed!

I play pretty regularly (well, by my middle-age, busy adult standards). It is probably the dominant system I play, followed by some sort of D&D-like OSR hybrid. When I play TFT, I always use some proportion of house rules. But, I've been at this since 1978 and pretty much know what I'm doing with this system, so all the house rules that have survived this long are solid, play tested things.

Got any examples of house rules? Maybe I can steal something.

Also, do you play in Cidri? I never have, for whatever reason, although I guess Cidri is so underdeveloped that there is not much difference anyway whether you do or don't, unless you include Prootwaddles and the Mechanicians' Guild.

Hey Dumarest, you might want to take a look at this: The Traveller Trip.

That is very interesting. I just downloaded it to read later. Thanks.

I plyed in a TFT (with house rules) campain just a few years ago, played some Dark City Games stuff with TFT last year, and just a month or so ago finished a play through of TFT Grailquest. I still might run some of my original TFT campaign set in Cidri, but I converted it to run with GURPS as soon as the first edition of the GURPS Basic Set came out.

Sure; I have some pdf's floating around my computer. I'll upload them to dropbox when I get a chance and pm you the link.

The Traveller Trip is pretty cool! I can see trying that out.
