Traveller 5 WIP

[BoomerET]

I'm using this project to learn more about the ins and outs of Hero Lab, since I just barely scratch the surface of it's power.

I don't have my Traveller 5 books yet, and am currently using things I can find scattered around the net.

I'm hoping this will lead to understanding how to add things to Pathfinder, possibly helping with community files.

Just getting all the stats in is a start. from there go to skills then rewards.

just a thought.

[BoomerET]

Fantastic idea. I'm fleshing out the stats (characteristics) and making good progress, then I'm going to get onto occupation/skills.

Love your input chiefweasel, keep it coming!

Anyone else want to chime in, help, don't hesitate to ask!

always willing to help with advice if you need it. I also have the traveller book from the kickstarter project, and waiting for it to arrive as well.

[BoomerET]

Thanks, I will definitively hit you up!

Finally got to the point in the Wiki about Encoded Text.

Just the thing I was looking for to make a nice looking panel.

Next to learn is how to incorporate bitmaps!

This is really a great learning experience, and also a lot of fun.

Later today I'll upload my sources for everyone to use, not just the compiled data.

Let the community know when you are ready for information to be entered and maybe aseveral folks will lend a hand with it.

[BoomerET]

Thanks chiefweasel, that would be fantastic.

Right now I'm working on Services, what a hornets nest that's going to be.

I'm using the journal tab as a template right now, and then after that, will get on Skills, and that's where I'll probably start asking for help, there's a whole lot there.

I'm thinking this exercise is great for me to learn, so that once the books come out, I'll be all set.

For Traveller though, have you thought of the T20 system instead? It would be a lot easier to create. Even the New Era would be easier to do in my option.

The main problem with D20 is Traveller 5 will most likely be a new generation of the original D6 rules. I'm also waiting on my copy of the rules and personally never found the D20 version to work well. The problems we encountered is when using the D20 system you would wind up with characters of different levels when going through the char gen process of tours of duty, especially if using the forced exit due to injury. The D6 versions did not have levels so that was never a problem.

Hey BoomerET does your member name imply that you are an ET on a Missile Sub? If so I was an FT on a Fast Attack.
