RPG in Starsector Space
« on: November 01, 2023, 07:30:00 AM »

So I'm a big table top RPGer (been playing D&D since 1978) and I have been looking at starting a new group with a Traveller game, which is a sci-fi setting that's been around almost as long as D&D has.

I'm not a huge fan of the actual universe that is the official setting for Traveller though, and I think I want to start writing some source material for a game, using the setting in Starsector with the lore, factions and tech from the game.

So, before I do:
1. I don't want to step on any copyright toes. May I have your permission? :)
2. I usually write out a fair bit of my material. If I publish any of it, would be ok with some percentage of any $$ it makes? I'm not saying it will, but I'd rather ask permission first.

Any other RPGers out there? :)

PMing alex or one of  the mods would be the thing to do. However, if you are keeping this source material unpublished, I don't think anyone would have any problems.

A starsector dnd sourcebook would be really cool though.

Basically this, yeah - you're absolutely free and welcome to do this for private use, but not for publishing.

Thanks, I don't have any plans to publish, but if someone asks, I'll let you know and let either veto it, or we can work an arrangement for both IP and potential cashflow.
