Basic Traveller Adventure Setup

Here's an outline for setting up a basic Traveller adventure. You can skip some sections if you want. Or you can add some. But this should give you a good outline to follow for creating your own Traveller adventures. You can even use most of this for outlining pre-made adventures.

Give it a shot!

Does your ship have a Pet? (revised)

Did you leave your cargo door open too long while unloading and now have a bat-equivalent predator flying around your ship?

Did an Opossum-like creature crawl into a hatchway while you were making repairs?

Did your ship's cat let you know that there was a 7 foot tall creature behind you?

Choose which Ship's Pets table you want to try and Roll 1d6

Typical Ship's Pets

1.) a Terran House Cat walks up the ramp one day

2.) Beaked Monkey is a pet throughout Charted Space

3.) a Tree Rat that's similar to a Terran Opossum - even with a prehensile tail

4.) an unidentified Alien Plant that eats bugs

5.) a Lowalaa vocal mimic kept by many Nobles

6.) a Seedspitter that definitely spits seeds... at you

Rare Ship's Pets

1.) a Tree Kraken from Knorbes

2.) a Robotic Critter

3.) a Zhodani Cat that somehow made its way into the Imperium

4.) An Anola that's too far from Pysadi

5.) a Llellewyloly stowaway you eventually figure out is a Sophont

6.) an Alien Iguana starting to make a chrysalis

Roll every time you open your boarding hatch... if you dare.

You can find most of these in the Traveller wiki. I'm sure there's a lot more. Use or re-write the tables to use in your game.

Danger Zones

In Traveller, there are Travel Zones and other Danger Zones. Either TAS warnings, or Imperial Navy or Scout Service Interdiction. And you can have either an Amber Zone which means to be cautious, or a Red Zone, which should be avoided and would be illegal to enter.

These are the different things that can cause an Amber Zone or Red Zone.

1.) Dangerous Wildlife

2.) War Zone or Violent Conflict

3.) Destructive Environment (aka Hellworld)

4.) Violent Crime or Law Level Extremes

5.) Immature, Xenophobic, or Indignant Culture

6.) Hazardous Atmosphere

If you are looking for information about the Traveller Universe...

There are several:

Traveller's Guide to the Universe - from The Traveller Book (Classic Traveller), an intro to Traveller. Maybe you can find this on PDF. Less than 10 pages.

Traveller Integrated Timeline - a great resource all about the history of the Traveller Universe by an Absent Friend, Don McKinney. Search for the PDF. But it's 133 pages.

A CHRONOLOGY OF THE IMPERIUM - 2 pages in the MegaTraveller Imperial Encyclopedia.

Plus, you can keep track of your own findings and creations.

• Secrets and Hidden Gems of your Game or Campaign
• Natural Wonders of Charted Space - any that you find along the way
• In Your Traveller Universe (IYTU) - changes you made to the official rules or setting.
• NPC Roster - don't throw them away. You can reuse them with minor changes to stats and new clothes. Plus, you can have recurring characters that way. This definitely includes Patrons.
• Ship Encounter Roster - if they talk to someone on a ship on orbit around Ruie, they might run into them again somewhere else in the Regina subsector. Especially Merchants on a Trade Run, or Naval Vessels on Patrol.
• Music and Entertainment of Charted Space

Stray Shots

Determining Collateral Damage in a fight

Using Mongoose 2022 Update rules, Effect Results could determine collateral damage if a shot misses.

0

 - Glancing Shot

Marginal Success: There's a chance that the shot hits something else after hitting the target. Damage to the Target should be minimal. Something gets hit behind the Target on a 2 on a 2d6 roll. 1 in 36 chance.

-1

 - Near Miss

Marginal Failure: The shot misses, but barely. The target might hear the bullet whistle past or there's a sizzling sound in the air. Their hair could be blown round a little. Unless there's a blatant wall or hill behind the target, which would definitely be hit, something significant behind the target gets hit on a 2 or 12 on a 2d6 roll. 2 in 36 chance.

-2 to -5

 - Complete Miss

Average Failure: The shot definitely misses. Unless there's a blatant wall or hill behind the target, which would definitely be hit, something significant behind the target gets hit on a 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, or 12 on a 2d6 roll. 12 in 36 chance.

-6 or less

 - Wild Shot

Exceptional Failure: The shot goes wild. It might even ricochet off of one thing and hit another thing. Unless there's a blatant wall or hill behind the target, which would definitely be hit, something significant behind the target gets hit on a 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 on a 2d6 roll and there's a ricochet to something else that gets hit. A 15 in 36 chance. On a 9, 10, 11, or 12 on a 2d6 roll, something significant behind the target gets hit. A 10 in 36 chance.

Outdoors Not-so-funny table

1.) Other Party Member (must be behind the Target)

2.) Innocent Bystander

3.) Emergency Services or City Personnel

4.) Vehicle, Power or City Vhicle, Copnstruction, Garbage Truck, or Public Transport

5.) Building or Street Fixture or Accoutrement

6.) Pet or other Animal

Indoors Not-so-funny table

1.) Chair, Bench, Stool, Bed, or Couch

2.) Table, Cupboard, Closet, or Bar

3.) Phone, Piano, Jukebox, Hologram, or other Music or Communications related item

4.) Television, Video game, VR set, Darts, or other Entertainment related item

Bits from the Starship Operator's Manual for MgT2

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Porting over some ideas from MegaTraveller's Starship Operator's Manual and Imperial Encyclopedia. I worked on it a little the other day, but embellished it more. Let me know if you see anything wrong.

Maneuver Drive Overdrive
According to MegaTraveller's Starship Operating Manual, the M-drive can be pushed into Overdrive, or push the limits of the drive to 400% of normal thrust for short periods of time.

100% Thrust
Routine (6+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 5000 minutes or about 3.5 days
For a good Engineer, this might be automatic and not require a roll.

200% Thrust
Average (8+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 500 minutes or about 8 hours
For a good Engineer, with Computer Assist, this could be automatic and not require a roll.

300% Thrust
Difficult (10+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 50 minutes or about 1 hour

400% Thrust
Very Difficult (12+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 5 minutes

_ _ _ _ _

System Crosschecks
System Crosschecks should be performed on the following Skill checks (or Tasks):

Cold or Warm start a Starship
Prepare Maneuver Drive
Prepare Jump Drive for Jump

To do a System Crosscheck, increase the Timeframe by 1 and increase the Task Difficulty by 1 (or the target number by +2).

Failure to do the System Crosscheck on a required Task results in:

A Warning Light and a Bane to every check made on that specific System until a System Crosscheck is completed successfully on that System.
Or
The Referee should determine a serious Event to happen later on that System.

VACC Suit breaches and damage

It's not an exhaustive list. Just a list for the Referee to quickly come up with a problem for a VACC Suit. It's more descriptive than game system. If anyone knows what book lists Damage for VACC Suits and the people inside, I'd love to attach it to the list if you could post it. Thanks to kilemall and boomslang for their input on the earlier Thread on Citizens of the Imperium.

boomslang said:

Vacc Suit ruptures are bluntly straightforward: incremental damage to the occupant (1d6 first turn, 2d6 second turn, 3d6 third turn, and so on), with a DEX roll to get a suit patch on the leak and presumably Vacc Suit or Zero-Gee skill as a DM to both avoid the tear in the first place and fix it in time.

Roll 1d6 for which system or area is affected then Roll 1d6 for a specific problem.

MgT2e Darts using Effect

(page numbers are from the 2022 Update)

Captain Jamison walked into the Ship's Lounge and said, "Computer: pull up holo-game 'Darts: 301'. A hologram of a Dartboard appeared, with a small table and a cup filled with throwing darts.

"Whenever you are ready, Sir," the computer said.

The game of Darts is pretty simple. You aim a Dart and throw it as best you can towards the Bullseye or whichever part of the board you want to Hit. The Dartboard divided into 20 sections with each section also having a small areas for Doubles and Triples.

A lot of people in bars play a variation of Darts called 301. Each Player starts with 301 points and count down to Zero, subtracting your points each turn. After 3 Darts thrown, you switch Players, and repeat. The first Player who gets to Zero wins. I'm not sure how to simulate getting to Zero exactly, like they do in the real-life game.

But on a Significant Combat Action Ranged Attack of Average using Effect (Table on pg. 61), the game would work like this:

0+ - Normal Hit (roll a d20 and subtract it) - Marginal to Average Success

4 - Double (roll a d20, double it and subtract it) - Average Success

5 - Triple (roll a d20, x3 and subtract it) - Average Success

6+ - Bullseye (subtract 50) -Exceptional Success

Any Failure is just a Miss. If "real" Darts are used, there my be a possibility of Bystanders being hit by a Missed Dart.

There's no real Training for Darts, so I'm not using an Unskilled penalty. I might change that.

You only get to Aim for one round or the other Players should tell you to 'Hurry up!"

Modifiers to the Throw:

High DEX score (pg. 58 - if DEX is the only Modifier)

Athletics: Dexterity (pg. 65)

Carouse (pg. 66)

Tactics (pg. 72)

Aiming (pg. 74)

Captain Jamison throws his first holographic Dart.

He rolls 2D. No Modifiers.

5 + 1 = 6.
