Traveller is great. Granted, I've built my familiarity with Charted Space since I was a kid, the LBB days, so maybe that's a factor. However, you can use Traveller's Charted Space by just picking a particular region which is what you'll typically do when running a game in this setting. Traveller's Charted Space allows for a lot of different play possibilities. That said, I do appreciate this type of setting also and will probably check it out as an interesting alternative. Very good review.
Really appreciate you checking it out. I didn't do much "here's how the rules work" but I figure there's a lot of ways to learn about that. Since you go way back with Traveller, you already know all of that. Basically I find the setting to Traveller overwhelming but in a way that, like you said, allows for a lot of different play possibilities. I think I personally need some constraints to get the creative juices flowing sometimes (which is why overwhelmed is where I sometimes land when going through Traveller books). Anyway, hopefully you enjoy Hostile if you end up checking it out. Thanks again.
Nice overview!
Appreciate it, thanks for checking it out. Hopefully it gave a little insight into what Hostile is and why I dig it so much.
