Let us know how that goes. I have been weighing my sci-fi options, and Traveller is certainly one of the most appealing. (Others include White Star and Stars Without Number, plus oddities like the sci-fi version of the One Dice system.) Also: Is Mongoose Publishing still handling Traveller these days? I remember that being their big deal.

I don't think that DnD and DnD-derivatives actually work too well with scifi with anything even slightly complicated.
It works fine for a space ship being a strict vehicle from planet A to planet B and there isn't significant technological changes (or it is, it's just +1/+2/whatever), with psionics/magic being pretty regular, no genetics/cybernetics, and absolutely no transhumanism. So basically space opera with humans dressed up in alien suits.

I've played in a oneshot of Traveller 2e, and honestly it's not too complicated. Character generation is a blast, the same way watching a plinko puck falling down a table is fun. Then mechanically it's the standard straightforward, with just a flat 8 DC on 2d6+ skill + stat +/- circumstances (getting the modifiers to be over a +4 can be real hard). And ship combat exists where everyone can do something! Not just gunners and pilots, the captain can improve morale, telecommunications can disrupt the enemy signal, and the engineers can boost the energy output of the engine.
Also, you can be a psionic, it's just rare on rare. There are two ways, the first being you need to make an ~8.3% on a check if you go to college, and if you don't, you have a natural ~.12% chance every round thereafter to test your psionic abilities (i.e. roll your psi stat to see where your life takes you).

It honestly feels the good oldschool, with charts on charts, but you need to only pay attention to a few of them.

Oh, then that's in the manga too sorta. Deku is supposedly really good at analyzing his opponents and coming up strategies and tactics based on what he's seen them do. It's the author's way of showing just what Deku is good at doing.

There's some chapters where they dedicate a couple of pages with the character's inner dialogue and how they're thinking through the situation. Not the best way of doing it if you're trying to make an action scene flow smoothly, admittedly, but IMO it's better than having these students suddenly come up with the perfect countermeasure to whatever they're facing out of their ass, and show that they're actually learning.

Add on top of that the standard, "this is what happened in the last episode" recap, and it does feel like there are a lot more flashbacks and internal dialogues than usual.

Just because it's in the manga doesn't make it good, or a smart decision.

It treats the audience like they're an idiot who can't remember what happened a few episodes back. Or that they can't just sort of figure out what's going on from context clues.

1. You mean the one first one designed by his mom, with the floppy ears? Yeah, he gets a significantly better one down the line. And he's still making adjustments to it here and there in the manga, so it keeps on changing subtly.

No.
I'm talking about the flashback scenes that take up half an episode and don't really mean anything that hasn't already been established multiple times.

Actually, while I'm thinking about it, same question for this:

Surgeon/Ship's Physician - does "Physician" feel appropriate for the Age of Sail? Or is that a bit too "modern"? If both are acceptable, would Surgeon be more pirate-y while physician is more merchant-y, or the other way around?

THESE ARE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!

I was always under the impression that in that era the best you could hope for was a barber/bonesaw. I wasn't aware "surgeon" was technically a thing prior to germ theory being accepted since in that era it was unthinkable to ask a "doctor" to wash his hands prior to reaching into a wound because a gentleman was not "dirty" and it was beyond the pale to insinuate such to the point where a duel would be the result of such a claim.

Bonesaws were also expensive, because the army needed them so often.
---

ImmortalityV, "I would like to kiss Icoyar to be honest in a non gay way though"

I am not the right person to ask, because I know enough about sailing to know that both a pirate and a professional crew had both a helmsman and navigator, so both would be fine.

Let's get reaaaal fuckin real here. Like 95% of tattoos look like shit. They really do. You gotta know the good artists and pay the big money for nice ink.

Complicated tattoos tend to look bad.

Which is why, even though it became a massive personality gross-factor, tribal tattoos were so relevant. It's a straightforward pattern, one color, and is totally fine (from an artistic view).

Tattoo artists are people just like everyone else, they have good days, bad days, and it's their literal day job. People fuck up.

I'm not entirely enthusiastic about the in-game "customization" where 90% of your body winds up being robot parts. I miss the meat.

Meat is overrated.
You can't replace meat as easily as you can with metal.

I am really excited about it though, I loved The Witcher 2/3, I loved it from just how much of a strong character that Geralt was. You could change the different flavors of Geralt, but you had hard personalities that you built your personal Geralt off of.
When you make the character's background, sex, and visuals all flexible, the base character can't be nearly as strong just from logistics.

The question is, how would you best represent something like that if you were implementing it as skill check bonuses? Assuming it's essentially a Feat, would you say it would be better to have it as a +2 to skill rolls for a given skill, or automatic Advantage conferred to a skill roll? Or some other mechanic?

I'm basically thinking of it being a sort of deal where it does convey some degree of useful benefit, but not so much that it's hugely game-breaking. Sort of the universe giving you a subtle boost, not a massive blatant gift where you magically become the greatest in the world at whatever skill is getting buffed.

Conversely, I could see a scenario where there's a stronger buff (say, +5 to a skill roll), but it functions as a single-use buff that needs to be invoked, and which requires a short or long rest to recharge. But that feels like it makes it a bit more blatant than I was thinking, and not just a subtle metaphysical influence.

So, there are a few ways of doing this, so I'll just walk through it.

The Official 5e D&D method: You would give them advantage. There are no direct buffs that you add that isn't advantage/disadvantage. The only way you can get just a flat bonus on *anything* would at level 6, the Paladin's Aura of Protection gives everyone +Cha to their saves. That is it, no other class, subclass, or anything gives you a bonus, it's all advantage/disadvantage.

What People Normally Do: +3 seems reasonable. Honestly feel free to reduce it down to even a +1. It's not the actual number that matters, it's the fact that you have a chart that you can hand the players, who then look down the list, and have to remember that it's there.

What I Would Do: I'd give them a small bonus to basically everything. +1 to three skills (that I chose), +3 to one skill, +1 Hit Dice, +4 starting HP, or anything else that will fuck with things just enough to draw attention to it, but not warp the game.
