I am learning Traveller as well but have not taken on the starship combat yet. This looks much better than similar designs I've seen. I also like the general aesthetic. I will try it out with my group and see how it works. Thank you for sharing!

This is excellent. Most of the answers here are what game to play, in other words, what mechanics can be used to force the horror feeling. This is purely about narrative, which can apply to any system. Thank you for sharing.

That paperclip looks about as handmade as the map!

Convoy escort is a good one. It's the sci-fi equivalent of caravan guard of fantasy trope fame.

I saw a Star Trek RPG sourcebook that focuses on a not Starfleet campaign. Hell if I can remember what it was called or who made it though.

Putting aside game system and mechanics, I enjoy Traveller, Numenera, and Shadowrun, sure. But none of those can compete with Star Wars as a sci-fi setting.

Edit: Honorable mention to Star Trek.

Looks cool and I like the art style. I would host an adventure in this.

Yes, I agree. As far as I can tell, these are compiled by an actual human, Darryl Mott, and the quality shows.

Thank you for pursuing making the community. I am willing to talk about Traveller and other sci-fi themed topics.

 

These sale and freebie posts from ENWorld were the most valuable part of the now defunct Blog Roll (at least to me). I'm going to start posting them here unless someone tells me not to.

 

Huge repository of starship deck plans for Traveller and other sci-fi games. Very useful for building your own ships or if you need a quick layout for a session.

Oddly specific, but I like it.

I'm mostly in the same boat as you. I have tried several times to get into Critical Role since everyone raves about it, plus a few others. It's not for me. I suppose it's because I don't have any emotional connection with the actual play where I would have that investment with my own game. I will say that I did enjoy Dungeons & Daddies though, but that show is more like listening to a comedy podcast about fantasy rather than an actual play.

 

Are there any Squabbles people coming over here due to the exodus?
