Traveller 2E (2016)

English
Sci-fi
Rules-medium
Traveller 2E is a sci-fi tabletop roleplaying game system, that was published in 2016 and updated in 2022, by Mongoose Publishing. It involves the characters adventuring through star systems, engaging in (space) exploration and engaging in battles both on ground and in space. The system it directly evolved from is classic Traveller (1977) Description The characers in Traveller can be humans, robots, aliens or of a genetically engineered species. Each character is distinguished by their occupation - whether they are a civilian, military, a noble, a young cadet or a veteran. Each type comes with their own strengths and weaknesses. To further expand on the sci-fi aspect of the game, some characters are prone to extra-sensory abilities, such as telekinesis, telepathy and others. System Overview & Key Features Lifepath Character Creation When creating their character, players roll to determine their character's background, education, and career history. Characters will acquire skills, allies, enemies and physical injuries. No Classes or Levels Characters do not have traditional classes, and they do not gain experience points to level up. Progression is entirely material and narrative. Characters improve by acquiring better gear, installing cybernetics, buying larger starships, and finding lucrative trade routes. The Trade and Commerce System A massive part of the game involves interstellar economics. The rules provide deep, robust systems for buying speculative cargo on one planet and selling it at a profit on another. Players must factor in fuel costs, jump drive maintenance, and life support while managing their massive starship mortgage. Lethal Combat Gunfights are incredibly dangerous as the characters have very low health pools. These are directly tied to their physical attributes like Endurance, Dexterity, and Strength. A single shot from a laser rifle can instantly incapacitate or kill a character, making armor and cover absolute necessities. Hex Crawling and Subsectors The game provides incredible tools for the Game Master to procedurally generate entire sectors of space. Using a blank hex map and the core rulebook, you can roll up planetary environments, government types, law levels, and starport qualities to create a completely unique sandbox galaxy.

You ever start a Game of Thrones review podcast and then decide that actually you’d much rather push “publish” on your home TTRPG game instead? No? Just us? Well. We are a strange bunch, it has to be said. We’re a group of good friends, who are sometimes a tad irreverent, all with a passion for storytelling and adventure. After discovering the amazing way that storytelling could come to life through TTRPGs, we further fell in love with the idea of playing out space fantasy stories through the game of Starfinder. Thus, our first full length podcast, the Apollo Protection Agency, was born! The STF Network continues to grow; we now have a our second full AP show, an increasing Twitch presence, specialized talk shows, and exclusive Patreon content. Our library continues to expand along with an amazing community that supports us. Shows Drift Delvers Drifting in the space above Absolom Station, the strange Anomaly Beacon remains a mystery even five years after the Siege on Absalom Station. Shrouded in a force field, top drift scientists have tried to break through to no avail. The Church of Triune is now claiming that this new drift beacon should fall under their domain, claiming it as a mystery belonging to Triune and rumors are starting to swirl that Triune Priests say they are close to breaking through the Anomaly Beacons’ force field, jeopardizing Absalom Stations hold on the object. Councilwoman Rajni has gathered a highly specialized group of scientists - specializing in niche fields with differing perspectives from traditional scholars, will they be able to finally understand the Anomaly Beacon? Things however go vastly awry when the scientist teams ship is waylaid by space pirates and an even more anomalous event than the Beacon sends the team hurtling through space and time - unstuck from reason and logic - and the crew must not only find a way home, but manage to survive long enough to make it there… Apollo Protection Agency Come join the Apollo Protection Agency as they encounter threats across the Pact Worlds! The challenges they face are at times overwhelming, but as the camaraderie between the crew grows, so too does their determination to never back down from a worthy fight. The crew started Season One by tackling AGAINST THE AEON THRONE, brought together by a common friend to come fist-to-face with the Azlanti Star Empire. Season Two gets darker as the crew is unnerved in SIGNAL OF SCREAMS and our adventure takes a bit of a twist in the horror direction. Fear not, our epic crew gets their chance to shine as they rumble their way into DEVASTATION ARK for Season Three! Resident GM, Adam Kelly, guides the rest of the crew through these adventures with an eye for allowing for character relationships to flourish and to let storytelling to take center stage alongside dramatic starship combats and fights that can turn on a dime. Meet memorable characters from the vast reaches of space, cheer as the crew defeats a stubborn foe, and gasp in terror as Adam inflicts terrible, horrible fates upon our favorite characters. It’s a roller coaster of emotions. Come along for the ride! Live and Let Fly STF's own Zac Evans steps behind the screen to GM a crew of misfits and personalities more concerned with earning enough credits for beer and a cheeseburger than they are with saving the galaxy. Under the guidance of their greenhorn captain, Roland Mons Gelidus, the crew get their hands dirty as they wrestle with the hard cases of dangerous trade routes and the weight of the corporate thumb. They'll encounter a wide cast of characters in their pursuit to impress clients and get paid, before the competetion swoop in to take their jobs right out from under them. Strap in for a long haul as Zac leads the crew through the turbulent world of galactic trucking, nebulous time, and space goblins. Under The Table The dust kicks up on your boots as you stride through the smog filled streets, under the watching eye of the towering brass spires and feeling constant unease, knowing that all around you are ne’er do wells and outlaws, making it a hard place for an honest citizen. Even harder when the biggest scoundrels out there have badges, authority, and a willingness to use that leverage to make life richer for themselves at the cost of everyone else. Join the Strange Table Fellows as we make our first on-air journey into the world of steampunk and fantasy in a new game from Paizo - OUTLAWS OF ALKENTSTAR, a Pathfinder 2e adventure path!

We are Hearthfire Tales, we're from Ireland and we do D&D and TTRPG Related things! We tell stories that are mostly comedic, until they're not, and punch you in the feels. Sorry (not sorry)! Our Main adventure is audio only and set in Lethuan, the land of Might, Magic, and Metal, where strange monsters are appearing and it is up to roaming "bands" of adventurers to tour the land and save the day. But why is the Hootsman, so called protector of the land, nor his special police force, the Hootsforce, doing anything about it, and why is it up to a Punk Rock Ranger and Dad Rock Ex-Paladin to save the day?! We also have horror games, light hearted and heartwarming adventures, oneshots, a campaign we streamed on twitch, and lots of Live shows from conventions across Ireland.
