To run a monthly G+ Traveller game. My first thought, crap another system to buy all the books for....
But thank you Drive Thru RPG. Apparently I already had the Starter Edition.
Here are my questions:
How much of a game can I run with just the knowledge in this bundle of PDFs?
Probably the biggest reason I want to run this game is character gen. Will something be lost if we do this over G+?
How many players is the sweet spot for a G+ game? Mostly I hear 2-3 players plus the Ref so that's 3-4 total. Would 4-6 work just as well? Or are there technical limitations?
How did people view files? Can hangout support a group chat that will hold photos or whatever?
Thanks guys!

I'm currently running a traveller game on G+ using the pdfs from RPGNow.
Which ones exactly are in the starter pack?

I have the hard copy core book! I think you should be good. We've made Traveller guys over G+ before. Nothing was lost. If anything, it was actually a little simpler because I could type my guy's stats up instead of trying to write it in pencil, which left things really neat and easy to copy and share at the end so everyone's all on the same page. Also, with the sci-fi nature of the game, computers kind of almost enhance the experience.

You should be good with core rules. They cover most things in enough detail - the important supplements to get next are equipment guides (mongoose or third party) and the expanded vehicle/star ship rules : but they're absolutely not necessary. Most of the equipment stuff I'm sure can be salvaged outta the various traveller interwebs if cost is an issue. Aaron

If money is too tight for the entire bundle, I'd say agent and scoundrel are my top 2 in that career bundle.
