The old, boring CT Sheet The original Classic Traveller from 1977 had a character sheet available in the original book. It was seemingly designed to look like an actual bureaucratic form, so visually, it was pretty uninteresting. I wanted to make my own custom character sheets for Classic Traveller that are a little larger, nicer … Continue reading New Character Sheets for Classic Traveller

WIP: A 1950s Traveller character sheet
The Traveller RPG was sort of based on 1950s and early 1960s sci-fi. I'm working on a character sheet that has a period style to match, as if it were created back then. I used a lot of Googie and Raygun Gothic influences. The idea was to make a sheet that looks like Traveller was … Continue reading WIP: A 1950s Traveller character sheet

I'm continuing making content for Michael Brown's Omega 99 setting, written for the Cepheus Engine. Here's a new spacecraft design I've made for the Omega Moonbase. The Omega 99 setting is a thinly-disguised adaptation of the Space: 1999 TV show from the 1970s. Earth's moon has been mysteriously transported through space to distant part of … Continue reading Omega 99: The Artemis Spacecraft
Judge Dredd for Traveller: A custom fillable character sheet
I'm a fan of the Mongoose adaption of Judge Dredd, the long-running British sci-fi comic. They put out two versions, a D20 version, and the version I prefer - the Traveller version. Mongoose no longer has the license to Judge Dredd, but paper copies of the book can still be found. I don't believe there's … Continue reading Judge Dredd for Traveller: A custom fillable character sheet
WIP: Character Sheet for the Traveller version of the Judge Dredd RPG
The RPG company Mongoose had the license for the Judge Dredd comic for a few years, and released both D20 and Traveller versions. I'm sort of fond of the Traveller version. I even made a fillable version of their character sheet. I wasn't entirely happy with their version, so I decided to try making my … Continue reading WIP: Character Sheet for the Traveller version of the Judge Dredd RPG
Strontium Dog: Pre-generated characters for Traveller
I recently ran a one shot of Strontium Dog, the sci-fi bounty hunter game from Mongoose Games. It's based on the old 2000AD comic series. It's the older version that uses the Traveller ruleset, not the current WOIN version. For the game, I made five pre-generated characters. They're slightly modified versions of the ones in … Continue reading Strontium Dog: Pre-generated characters for Traveller
