How does /tg/ feel about Traveller? I'm currently working on building my setting and have very few people to talk to about it.

Been thinking about running it in my own setting without then cringey furries (humans only) where the PCs are encouraged to be morally corrupted assholes out for profit in a cold and uncaring universe.

This is exactly the kind of vibe I'm going for. More toward the Firefly vibe but without the western feel.

This is what the HOSTILE setting by Zozer Games provides. No alien races, just corporations sending workers out to exploit every planet they can find and ship the resources back to Earth.

It is an OK system. It does ship well, but the core rules aren't my cup of tea.

Zozer also has Retro Sci-Fi Rules which is a bit simplified classic Traveller with a setting where western capitalists and commie block led by China compete in gritty space colonization.

It's one of the classics for a reason. I kinda prefer it as a sandbox than the lore it developed, but it's a great game.

If you like rolling lots of 2d6s like Battletech, it's probably for you. If you like pre-Star Wars space opera, it's probably for you.

I use "Traveller" as a shorthand for saying "today we are going to play a rule-light game that's a space westerm". Last time I actually bothered running actual Traveller, it was 2008
