I re-skinned an Alternity scenario for Traveller about 20 years ago. Elements of 40k crept into the last Traveller campaign I ran. I'm going to use a version of the FATE skills pyramid in the next Traveller game I run if the players are up for it. Failing that I'll play some solo using...

Could be good to post a ToC preview wherever the book is sold. Is there an adventure as part of the book? If so, how many pages is it?

I certainly agree with lasers being the most popular choice, but also sandcasters. Each hardpoint mounted sandcaster holds 20 cannisters which don't take up cargo space, so I can see them being popular. I can't think of any starship combat at adventure ship level over my years of playing...

This is how I see it going on the various boards. Time will tell. I wonder if here and/or CotI will have a separate 5e sub-forum?

And speaking of the charted space setting, the latest from World's Largest RPGs, "Traveller’s setting has always been incredible, but not every table wants to learn a new, complex system. Traveller 5E brings the iconic setting and campaign tools into a framework many players already know -...

I'll be backing it and I'm sure that all of my regular groups will happily play it. Two of them tend towards more action-adventure games and I think Traveller 5e will be more to their liking.

I'm sure it is, but as one of the main criticisms of the game it seems a bit odd to include it in the advertising blurb.

"And, yes, your character can still die during character generation!" I would suggest this was possibly not the best thing to add to the sales blurb :unsure:

I remember my group really enjoying it. Are there more BITS adventures coming to DTRPG?

Too many pages to go back through, but more stand-alone books like Cluster Truck. Something somewhat isolated from known space and with a mini-campaign that can be played in 2-3 months of weekly sessions. Grand Imperium-spanning campaigns are great and all but I'm sure there are groups out there...

I thought Glass Cannon's Voyagers of the Jump was pretty good. I can't comment on the YouTube version as I listened to the podcast, but it certainly showed another way to play Traveller.

I think Glass Cannon doing Cluster Truck would be great publicity for Traveller.

How many pages?

The first thing that sprang to mind when I read about Cluster Truck! Time for a re-read over the weekend just to get in the right mood :)

I was re-reading this thread and remembered that Mongoose did produce a boxed starter set back in 2017(?). I couldn't find it on their site but here is the DTRPG page. The campaign book ("The Fall of Tinath" also available seperately here) is set in a single subsector that is WAY off from the 3I...
