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...

IIRC the Space Viking series by H. Beam Piper had ships spending hundreds of hours incommunicado in jump space. When it first appeared in the first book the story made a point of telling what the bridge crew did with all that spare time.

I've not been following the whole SRD thing for a number of years so I'm wondering how much WLRPGs can deviate from the current SRD when it comes to T5e? Could they decide HP = Con and don't increase with level? I'm very interested in seeing how they approach it.

I do wonder if package based chargen (Companion p.15) might have been a better approach.

Google "Andy Slack Traveller Stargate SG-13" and you'll find Andy Slack's GURPS Lite document from 2001 which has an appendix on how to convert to Traveller and 2300 AD. I've got a vague memory of there being a Traveller only document as well, but my Google Fu is failing me on that one. There's...

And suddenly my gaming shopping list grows by four items. Consular Envoy comes out of the blue but definitely piques my interest as I REALLY liked Delta Three is Down (?) froms BITS many years ago.

March 2026 according to the KS page.

August 2026.

Can't remember if I've read it upthread, but the current rules in LBB format. May have to drop some stuff to fit the 3x48 page format but that would be OK. Edit: Personally I think the A5 format works very well, from the nerdy technical and maths perspective :)

One thing that really made me smile in the preview is the unwritten story of the girl sitting on her dad's shoulders on page 7 to being in space on page 90. I've heard many interviews with astronauts (mainly on NASA's "Houston, We Have a Podcast") and quite a few of them say it was watching a...

Thanks for the answers. Zero-G being a learning by doing skill makes a lot of sense (I'm not sure if spending time in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab or in the Vomit Comet would give you full skill levels). I was mostly curious as some of the pre-gens have levels of Zero-G, not just 0. Chris the...

I've had a quick browse through the preview and one thing jumps out at me; none of the skill tables have Zero-G. Characters can get a level of Zero-G from a life event but not through basic training or a skill roll. Or am I missing something?

Backed! Now, where is the best place to discuss the preview?

Absolutely. Season 3 covering the Space Shuttle is especially relevant for Pioneer as it brings up civilian astronauts.
