Thank you very much!

Emperor protects!

Mongoose Traveller will give characters more skills to characters and the application of those skills uses a more unified mechanic than Classic Traveller. The combat system has changed to one where armor subtracts from damage done instead of the all or nothing to hit used in CT. The stats are close enough to be used freely between editions. Spacecraft are similarly statted, but differently expressed and designed between CT and MgT1e and MgT2e.

For a WH40K game, I'd suggest using Mongoose Traveller 2e because I think that would emulate the setting of 40K better. YMMV, of course. To get a taste of each in order to decide upon which rules set to use, you can download the CT rules for free and the MgT2e rules for $1 from DriveThruRPG with the links listed below.

Since, in such a case, it was the world that drew me to it, I much prefer to alter the system than to alter the world. Still, it might be necessary to alter the world a bit, but if it's no longer what I was originally drawn to, I'm better off doing something else.

What about Tanuki with their ginormous ballsacks?

Of course, all of you already know how problematic Norse mythology is, will all the white people and violence and such!

I don't like Greek Mythology a lot, but that's because it's like a never-ending soap opera/reality tv show where so many mortals and demi-gods get awful treatment for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Didn't the Mario games already sanitize the Tanuki?

Nobody wants to see those balls...

Pom Poko is the movie that proves you wrong.

Hehe, you have a point.

I don't want OWoD to ever take on Japanese or even any East or Southeast Asian mythology in their games. The Filipinos have dealt with enough bullshit already!

Hey there! So, I was wondering about the compatibility between the Traveller Editions, specifically between Traveller Classic and Mongoose Traveller 1e/2e. I wanna start doing the groundwork for a 40k game using Traveller, and I found a nice supplement with expanded psi powers. Another thing I'd like to use the alternative point-buy system of Mongoose Traveller 2e as opposed to the original creation system.

And before you ask, I want to run classic Traveller because it's what I've read the most and I like it; but then again, I'm no expert on this system, so I don't really know what important differences are between the different editions, hence the post.

do you bend (alter) the system for the world, or the world for the system?

Or revive the 2002 cartoon.

Thank you for the inch.

The Emperor molests!

I wager we'll see the Horus faction start to gain more popularity.

Quote from: BoxCrayonTales on Today at 08:26:21 AMThe show creators can fuck off. It's obviously not genuine and it doesn't undo what they did.

Fuck revelation. They should've continued the cgi cartoon instead. Fuck netflix.

I gave up on Castlevania, Picard, Invincible and a bunch of other shows because of the shitty writing and woke preaching. They can fuck right off to hell.

I'm glad they're going bankrupt. Hollywood and their shit streaming services can go to hell.

Absolutely, the CGI "cartoon" had TWO strong female characters, but they weren't Girl-Bosses, genuine characters with flaws to overcome.

It departed A LOT from established lore, and yet I think most fans would have loved it if they gave it a chance.

After I get my dogs spayed I'll look into a power tower. I didn't consider that in my thinking. I appreciate you mentioning it.

3 times a week is very doable. I'm disabled so I have tons of free time. I'll find some basic program online and stick to it for at least 6 months, then I can look back on my progress and decide if I want to change it up. When I started lifting I changed program so much I never knew what was what until one of the guys at the gym and I discussed it. He noticed I was changing it up too often. He kept to his plans for at least 3 months, usually 6 - he was doing German volume training at the time we had our discussion. That is some crazy volume.

Bing showed me a 6 month program on the first page, so I'm opening it in a browser. For weights, I know a lot of plans, but calisthenics I didn't pay attention to. Huh, it says I need a chin up bar - I'll hit home depot for the wood I need and get that all worked out. The dip bar I don't have, but someone told me basic benches for sitting/step up work aren't expensive. I believe you can do dips off them.

That's what I'm going to do. We'll see in 6 months how much I progress.

I also decided I'll work harder with the cardio. I got thinking what I'm doing might be me just doing what's comfortable.

I appreciate the help, good sir!
