@RogerBW I don't think they could have made a less hospitable-to-me version of Traveller had they deliberately set out to do so.

I think they gave the game's fanbase what they wanted but sweet Georgia Brown...

"Needs more Gargoyles"

@Taskerland @Printdevil I had a skim through, but it felt like a mixture of off-brand WH40K with that same "the world is clearly ending, we won't even try to find out why" feeling I get from Blades in the Dark.

@RogerBW It's basically WH40K and Dune with character creation by White Wolf. You could play as an intelligent Shetland Pony. @Printdevil

So, the silicate based mid 18th century water spout with orange smoke disintegration powers is a goer?

@Taskerland @RogerBW

Traveller and Shadowrun are intellectually fascinating to me as I love the ideas behind both games but I didn't really like the original edition of either.

However, despite my not thinking much of the original iterations of either of these games, I am forced to admit that each subsequent edition has somehow made them worse.

@Taskerland Both are great settings attached to infuriating design philosophies in a way that sparks entire cottage industries of "that but not shit please"

I have honestly never seen the attraction of Shadowrun.

@Printdevil @Taskerland okay, so. Power Rangers,

@AndreasDavour I suspect he got a lump sum but I think it was presented as him handing it over.
