We asked joindicebreaker to explain Traveller, the RPG that's inspired Starfield
to define characters' skills and abilities, Traveller uses a lifepath system that simulates a character's past experience.This lifepath system works like a mini-game in its own right, with players choosing a career for their character - typically a military path, or life as a merchant - before rolling to see what successes and mishaps they encountered in their past. This defines their starting equipment, money and more.
Instead of having conventional levels hit with a certain amount of generic experience points, characters' progression in Traveller is tracked by their improvement in individual skills, which can be improved by engaging in specific training. Achieving higher levels in skills requires longer training, making it a slow process - but one that can pay off with powerful character builds.
Another key influence that Traveller could have on Starfield is its depiction of a sci-fi setting that hews a little closer to what the future could actually look like, rather than a more fantastical interpretation. In acknowledging the RPG's inspiration, Howard noted that"Traveller has a little more 'hard' science-fiction" - using the term typically used to indicate sci-fi rooted in real-life science and technology, even if it's with a forward-looking optimism.
While Traveller does include some more out-there ideas - such as psionics and telepathic powers - the universe also grounds itself with realistic rules such as the effect of Newtonian psychics on ships during space combat and the presence of more traditional firearms in the place of rayguns or blasters.
How deep Traveller's influence on Starfield runs remains to be seen, but early looks at the game already hint at an adventure that may feel very familiar to fans of classic sci-fi roleplaying. It could be that Howard has finally managed to craft his love letter to the tabletop RPG after all these years.Create your ReedPop ID & unlock community features and much, much more!
