Just to add to what Kato said, it's specifically Traveller: The New Era that shares the rules with T2k 2.2 edition but even if you're only using T2k 2nd Ed., the base mechanics of the rules from 2nd and 2.2 editions are pretty much the same (the most significant differences being the change from skill checks on a D10 to skill checks on a D20).

Dark Conspiracy is about 95% the same also, the only significant difference (in rules anyway) is the addition of the Empathy stat and skills that are based on it.

Thanks folks, I'll take a look at TNE & DC and try and get inspired, I'm about halfway through the first season and I can see some changes I'd make to the plot to differentiate the game from the series, I'll just have to see what I can figure out for stats.

If anyone comes up with anything please share, otherwise I'll try and post some stats from my perspective over the next few days.

ok...

I'm still only half way into the first season, but am enjoying it immensely.

I've been looking at TNE & DC to figure out stats, and think I'm getting close but are still working things out, in the meantime I've come up with some fluff text to describe the setting in relation to Twilight: 2000

Since I don't want to just post here and potentially spoil anyone's enjoyment of Falling Skies (at least initially), is there anyway I can do spoiler text here, is anyone interested in seeing what I came up with?

I'd really like feedback if anyone is interested.

Sure. Just start your message with

** W A R N I N G : S P O I L E R__ A L E R T **

and

a

few

blank

lines

so those who who do not want to be spoiled can avert their eyes.

Oooooh, look, you can get Red color. Can we get blinking, too?

Hmmm. Not so good on preserving spaces
