Interstellar trade system using MGT and GURPS Free Trader
- Thread starter heptat

I found a couple of Games::Traveller perl modules available at CPAN and I'm fooling around trying to make a "trade board" system that will take a starting system and generate a list of outgoing passengers and freight (with prices) using the FT rules. It was all going to be nice and simple until I remembered that the distance between worlds was travel distance and not straight-line distance. Now I'm messing around with pathfinding algorithms. (Now watch, my players will decide that they don't want to bother with cargo.) Anyway, it's nice to see someone else robbing from GT:FT. It looks like a pretty good conversion from what I can see.

One more thing...for speculative trade, if the task roll results in an Exceptional failure , then the PCs have been swindled, see G:FT p37. So this is another disincentive for trying to find unexploited trade on established trade routes. I would handle the effects of this by making the PCs buy the goods, and the sale price result on the "Modified Price Table", MGT p164, is an automatic 3 - you can decide if you'll let your PCs apply their broker skill and intelligence/social standing modifiers.

Far Trader naturally gives a lot of information on running such a campaign. But it also tells of the general nature of Intersteller Trade. The book is quite meaty and uses information based on the details of the real-life distribution industry.
