Bwap Characters (Any Rules?)

[Kilgs]

I'm fairly certain our Empty Quarter sage has written rivers on my favorite newtsies but I can't recall if I have ever seen actual mechanics outside a GURPS book...

Though T4 made the odd (because T4) decision to place them in Old Expanses. Unless you want to launch some odd displaced homeworld conspiracy from that, it is safe to ignore it.

Blatant plug: The Xboat Special Supplement has a one-page Traveller5 overview on Bwaps, including character creation. Yeah, it's brief, I know.

Issue #1 of the Stellar Reaches fanzine has T20 rules for Bwaps.

and interestingly the RPGSuite has Bwap generation as a paid option. I've generated a few just to see how it worked.

And, I've tried my hand at a grammatical sketch of their language. It's in a very draft state.

Issue #1 of the Stellar Reaches fanzine has T20 rules for Bwaps.

It strikes me as odd that T20 Core didn't include them, since their homeworld is so close by.

Here's a draft T5 character creation card for Bwaps. With it, you can create Bwap player characters and run them through a career.

If you adjust the characteristics, the card can be used in other rule systems. I think that's the only T5-ism that would need conversion.

If I've gotten something wrong, let me know.

Mongoose Aliens of Charted Space Vol. 3 has a whole section devoted to the Bwaps, Bwap gear, Bwap vehicles, Bwap ships.

They were adapted for TNE way back when by a fan, so not official. I mention this for the sake of completion as it seems like most of the other rule sets have been covered.
