Of all the role playing games I play/run Traveller is my favorite. the CD-Roms have mader it so I can run any traveller era and not bury myself in books.
The Starhammer series feature the Vang as a dangerous ancient race, and I think they are admittedly a prime inspiration of the Flood in Halo. I happened to pick up one of the books decades ago, loved it, and the setting and technology is pretty close to Traveller (although the FTL drive.... isn't) Thank you both for a great interview!
That sounds interesting I'll have to check it out. Thanks for listening I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind feedback I greatly appreciate it
I am trying to figure out why there were only ever two video games I can find that are based on Travelled, the two MegaTraveller games. A Traveller based RPG game would be amazing.
@@slaapliedje I only remember "The Zhodani Conspiracy" but there was a bug and I couldn't finish it every time I try to buy battledress the game crashed. check out my Traveller-inspired games under development. If I can get more community interest I'd be motivated to complete them. 🚀Cosmic Drifter www.cyborgprime.com/cosmicdrifter 🚀Virtual GM for solo text adventures virtualgm.cyorgprime.com 🚀Virtual Scout Ship www.cyborgprime.com/scoutship
Around 13:35 you mention how there's a lot of nostalgia for the Golden Age, for 1105; I beg to disagree. There's just something _special_ about it, and it goes beyond something as simple as nostalgia, because consider the following: I only started to get into Traveller in 2019. I didn't know peanuts about the Charted Space setting before then. But even so, 1105 is _by far_ my favourite time period for Traveller. When I first learnt of the Rebellion and the assassination of Strephon I was downright insulted, and that was in 2020! So yes, while I'm certain there's a lot of nostalgia for it, I wouldn't be so fast to say that's all there is to it.

Really good stuff, please keep grinding!
Yes I'm a nerdy traveller player from way back and I want my channel to focus on that aspect of my life. I run a few other channels such as the make your own RPG channel and more. Anyway welcome to the world of traveler I hope you learned a little bit about our sci-fi hobby.

Fabulous to hear from Marc.
He's a legend!
He's such a humble guy, wow
He really is.. he's joking about being the Emperor.
I just got in. The man, the myth, the legend!!
He's pretty awesome.
