It's not any of the canonical editions (CT,MT,TNE,T4) nor major licensed conversions (GT, T20, MGT, HT)
Looking at the conversions I can find quickly
It isn't Risus Traveller.
It isn't WoD Traveller, tho the stats are in the right ranges.
It isn't Spirit of the Far Future (wrong skills)
It isn't TFT-Traveller (leveled skills)

1) Where is this PbP? I'm always interested in Traveller PbPs.
2) Why are you asking here and not just asking the person who sent you the info? I can only say it is not Mongoose Traveller and it is not CT LBB1-3 (don't know about the additional materials)

The player said it was from an old game. He didn't have any of the books and had only played at a few conventions.

Well, the character is greatly overpowered...

Well, the character is greatly overpowered...

...that's rather impossible to ascertain without knowing the system

I'm curious what it might be too, nothing is ringing a bell with that combo of stats and skills.

 

[aramis]

style looks like plainlabel RPG. But I don't recall the stats.

Character

I got the same RTJ too in my Scout game on RPoL. The character was an on-the-run rogue SOLSEC. I advised him I'd never seen such stats and he has not responded back.

It would appear a base 5-6 system. All stats are 2-5.

 

[Easterner9504]

Odd stats

He checked back today, didn't answer question.

 

[ThunderChilde]

Ah, wide left field guess, Big Eyes, Small Mouth Traveller perhaps?

 

[aramis]

BESM has only three atts, IIRC.

 

[Rhialto the Marvelous]

Dude, anyone who's into twin gauss pistols plays a Bladesinger in D&D 2E. What's his name, Drzzt do' Airlock?

Aramis: "TFT Traveller"? There is such a thing? Where, oh where?

Correct. Body, Mind and Soul.

It was at Ty Beard's TFT articles site, but that's down.

The TFT list is actually wondering where he went...

 

[Icosahedron]

If the guy hasn't got any books, how did he roll the character?

If it were my game and he had no books, I'd send him a blank character sheet and a short list of skills approprate to his character type and tell him to roll 2D6 for the stats and 1D4-1 for the skills.

Since he's posted in the last 12 hours, I just pm'd him about that.

What a guy. I never knew. Naturally, he must put the site back up.

Re. original topic, if the man has no books, let him generate a character on signalgk.

No monofilament garrotes, though.

Good suggestion.
