Your first Traveller... (ttrpg.network)

On another forum people were asking about everyone's first RPG experience. Now my story involved D&D but only about six or eight weeks later I played the 1977 version of Traveller. I was 11 years old.

My question is, what version brought you into Traveller? Was it little books, or color covers? Was it before the Fifth Frontier War, or during the Virus?

Please share.

My first experience was with the original little books, in ‘77 or ‘78. I had no idea what it was when I bought the original box set but the blurb on the box about free trader Beowulf really grabbed me.

I’ve at least dabbled in every version since.

I'm still yet to play it 🙈

I can run a session if you want to give it a try. It’ll be mongoose traveller, rather than the original.

I’m in the USA but I’m old and retired so my schedule is flexible enough to work with euro time zones

I made a quick discord server.

I'm up for it. Feel free to DM me. My preferred sci-fi is more on the hard side. The expanse novels for the most part were the sweet spot for me.

Just drop into the discord server and we’ll figure it out. Need to find a couple more people of course.
