..and round we go again.

Matt: can you please give us your interpretation of this rule?

There is no need to damage the character to make him unconscious, it can happen in other ways, like Assault. Assault does exactly what is says: Deals Effect × 3 damage, and knocks unshielded minds unconscious (regardless of damage), I assume. But where does that damage get applied? The core ruleboo...

OK so now I'm even more confused by this.

The victim of the psionic assault.

If either STR or DEX are reduced to 0, the Traveller becomes unconscious and any further damage is deducted from the remaining physical characteristic. So does that mean that a psionic assault always does enough damage to reduce a character's Strength or Dexterity to 0? Matt: can we get some clarit...

Psionic abilities indeed use the psionic range bands. Thanks for that Matt. Whilst we're on the subject of psionics, in MGT 1e the damage from a psionic Assault is applied as follows: Unlike normal damage, assault damage is applied to Psionic Strength (if the victim has it), then Intelligence, then...

So no official reply from Mongoose on this issue, then?

I still don't know whether to use the encounter range band distances or the psionic range band distances - which do I use?

I am confused about which range band table in the 2e core rulebook I should use for psionic abilities. The following paragraph is on page 197 (print)/198 (PDF) of the 2e core rulebook: Most abilities can be used at a distance and have a Reach characteristic. This is the distance (using the Range Ban...

What's changed in this latest version?

We're being asked to pay to keep up to date on something we've already bought. Doesn't seem right.

Wow. So the 2nd edition is a separate product to the 1st edition, which means if you bought the 1st edition you have to buy 2nd edition separately to keep up to date, which then makes the the 1st edition redundant? Cheers for that then...

It seems like this is an attempt to reverse-engineer some of the sections omitted from the "official" SRD - think of it as a Traveller retroclone :D ...snip... (Actually, some areas that Mongoose Traveller considers as PI were available as OGC via the T20 product line and could easily be ported acr...

Isn't an SRD free... Not necessarily - just check out Mongoose's own Legend series of books. They are all OGC and can be considered to be types of SRD yet they're not free. Note that there is no free Word document version of Legend available. Although the d100 system itself, on which Legend is base...

It's a scam of some kind on drive thru rpg. Selling sections of a core book at $1 a page. The PDFs are still for sale there. Nope, it's not a scam and it's not selling sections of a core book as none of the content has come from any core book - it's all OGC/OGL and you get a number of files in diff...

..."Game over, man! Game over!"...

(C'mon, someone had to say it.... )

Yup, a decent, well-written, well laid out/proof read world building book is top of my list of fings wot eye want.

Marc is listed as the author on Aramis...does that mean that Marc has signed on to revisiting this Classic Adventure or it Marc with Gareth's help or Gareth with Marc's help.
