Title: Voyagers of the Jump
Post by: igycrctl on October 12, 2022, 09:08:35 AM
Has anyone been watching this? Seems like the tone is way off from classic Traveller. Is this the tone of Mongoose 2e? If it is, I think I'll pass.

Oh, sweet ass-fucking Jesus on a pogo stick.....

OK, if you are deciding whether or not you like the tone of a game by watching a shitty Youtube video done by wannabee actors, then you have already failed as a gamer. Go back to D&D and Critical Role with the rest of the retard spectators.

You want to find out if the tone of the actual game is right for you, then get the Goddamn books and read them. Hell, if you are in the continental United States, then I will mail you a copy of Classic Traveller and Mongoose Traveller 1e so you can make an informed decision.

Come to this forum. Ask questions. You'll get answers and not everyone is a pissed off old fart like me who will give them to you.

Now, do you want to man up and get the books or what?

I'm watching this and I play Traveller - my first and only campaign has been going for three years.  Seth Skorkowski is a guest player on that show and I like his own youtube channel - He did 10 episodes on how to play Traveller/Review, but he mostly does CoC stuff, so I thought I'd check it out.

The GM's style is more lenient than I run, but I take it for what it is.  I like the story and enjoy the chemistry between the players.

I like Seth Skorkowski as well. I also agree that the GM is very lenient, but also felt like the story was a bit too fantastical for Traveller. I generally like my Traveller to be more grounded and hard sci-fi.

Haven't watched the videos in question, but let me third the comments on Seth Skorkowski.  Definitely one of my favorite RPG Youtubers.
