Traveller Character Professions Explanation and Notes

http://flynnwd.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/missing-traveller-ogc-career-paths.html

The core career paths from Classic Traveller:
Army
Navy
Marines
Merchant
Scout
Other

The career paths added to Classic Traveller via the Citizens of the Imperium supplement:
Barbarian
Belter
Bureaucrat
Diplomat
Doctor
Flyer
Hunter
Noble
Pirate
Rogue
Sailor
Scientist

The core career paths from MegaTraveller:
Army
Barbarian
Belter
Bureaucrat
Diplomat
Doctor
Flyer
Hunter
Law Enforcer
Marine
Merchant
Navy
Noble
Pirate
Rogue
Sailor
Scientist
Scout

The core career paths from Traveller T20:
Academic
Army
Barbarian
Belter
Marines
Mercenary
Merchant
Navy
Noble
Professional
Rogue
Scout
Traveller

There are only 9 base classes – Academic, Barbarian, Belter, Mercenary, Merchant, Noble, Professional, Rogue, and Traveller. Then there’s 4 “service classes,” Army, Navy, Marines, and Scouts. And there’s three unexciting prestige classes, TAS Field Reporter, Big Game Hunter, and Ace Pilot.

TAS Field Reporter
Big Game Hunter
Ace Pilot

The core career paths from Mongoose Traveller:
Agent
Army
Citizen
Drifter
Entertainer
Marine
Merchant
Navy
Nobility
Rogue
Scholar
Scout

Given the commonalities, I am inclined to start with the following core career path list:
Academic (Doctor, Scholar, Scientist)
Central Security Service (Agent, Law Enforcer)
Colonist (Barbarian, Citizen, Hunter, Professional)
Merchant House (Merchants)
Public Service (Bureaucrat, Diplomat, Noble)
Republic Rangers (Scouts)
Stellar Navy (Navy, Marines)
System Defense (Army, Flyers, Sailors)
Traveller (Belter, Drifter, Rogue)

Different Worlds 15
Also, I use Paul Montgomery Crabaugh’s “More Citizens” article from Different Worlds #15 (he adds cavalry, artillery, technicians, engineers, reporters, and citizens).

I’ve used point buy for years — using Jeff Swycaffer’s “Plotting a Course for Choosy Players” article from Dragon #51
And for MegaTraveller I created my own point-buy based on Jeff’s article, http://dmckinne.winterwar.org/pdfs/MTPointBasedCharGen.pdf .

Pegasus magazine did advanced careers for Flyers and Sailors, Different Worlds converted some of the mercenary service branches back down to Basic careers, a White Dwarf article expanded the criminal careers, FASA had the MoJ career…

In some cases.
FASA’s additions were in the short runs of High Passage and Far Traveller. I think the MoJ were in HP#1.
Pegasus was Judges Guild’s magazine, also a short run, and now all on RPGNow (search for the bundle). They did flyers and sailors as advanced.
Adventure Gaming was yet another short run magazine from the early 80s. It had an article on “Rebels, Insurgents, and Partisans”.
Dragon Magazine did IBIS in March 1980. Another horribly overpowered career.
White Dwarf tended to visit Traveller every other month in those first 60 to 70 issues. An article on Criminals and another in the ISS were among them.
Different Worlds did Cavalry. Artillery. Technician, Engineer, and Civilian as Basic Careers in the October 1981 issue.
JTAS had the Port Authority and a Scientist.

in products other than magazines
Paranoia Press’ “Scouts and Assassins” had, you guessed it, an Assassin career. They also did a very Soviet-inspired Zhodani spy service in “SORAG”.

Ok, the JTAS index file I achieved from somewhere has a Skyport Authority by John M. Ford 19 – 37 so that looks like that one.

and Scientists…(29-28?)!?
