[Traveller] BRP Weapons Tables PDF

[Vile]

For those of you who play Traveller with BRP rules, I've uploaded an old PDF of mine which converts the personal weapons from Striker, the old mass-combat and gear-building rules for Classic Traveller. Our group converted the Traveller tech and background to BRP almost as soon as we got it, because IMHO percentages beat bell curves every time. We actually used far more extensive lists than these, but I thought that there's no point putting my house-rules weaponry in this document. The PDF contains only the weapons found in Striker, so you need to refer to those rules (or Traveller LBB1 and LBB4) for descriptions of the weapons.

One house rule I did include, because the weapons tables depend on it, is penetration. The purpose of this rule is to simulate high-penetration weapons, which will not neccessarily do massively more damage to unarmoured targets.

Anyway, have fun.

I like it! At last my laziness was rewarded, i was thinking of doing a conversion myself but now this showed up. Thanks!

I'm currently working on producing a RQ Sci-Fi SRD based on the RQ, Traveller and D20 Modern (Future) SRDs. I converted some of the weapons from the Traveller SRD using some things from BRP, but yours look a lot better.

Would you mind if I used them for the RQ Sci-Fi SRD? Credit would be given, of course.

The unfinished SRD is at www.soltakss.com/rq_scifi.doc and neds a lot of work, but it's getting there.

Thanks for the kind words, soltakss, and do feel free to use them in the RQSFSRD. These stats should be reasonably accurate, as they've been playtested over 15 years or so and subjected to much scrutiny from a number of firearms enthusiasts. That's not to say they're set in stone, and I'd still be happy to make adjustments if someone can convince me.

Thanks for the download, very interesting stuff there. I'm always interested to see how other people use the concept of something like round penetration in their game system designs.

I have to agree, percentages are far more game friendly than bell curves. This form is just kickin with BRP conversions and rules. Vive la BRP!

Very nice Vile - love the nostalgic look n feel, takes me right back to the LBB striker set!

I'm toying with the idea of using BRP to play Traveller - Interstellar Wars, and am looking for Traveller starship combat rules for BRP. You don't *happen* to have anything lying around, do you? >:-> :innocent:

Cheers - and good job! :thumb:
