Psionic abilities indeed use the psionic range bands. Thanks for that Matt.

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...

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.

The character with the bomb trigger tripped and he failed his saving throw. He landed face down (up?) on top of the bomb trigger and set off the bomb. Our characters died from the blast. The End. At least you where able to accomplish the mission. I hope the Solomani awarded all those involved medal...

Character generation, ship building and world generation are games within themselves, as well as being tools with which to construct the game universe. The thing I always disliked about D&D was the "here's a dungeon, there's gold, kill the monsters to get to it" game. Maybe it was the D&D DMs I play...

Now that I've got the publishers of many such burning to tear me a new one for suggesting their work isn't needed http://spicapublishing.co.uk/Troll.jpg I've been having great fun with Spica's Career Books, especially the 'behind-the-scenes' careers like Cosmonaut, Space Patrol and Port Authority. ...

I had a brilliant time, and I was somewhat amazed and not a little disturbed to note exactly how much I remember about Hivers from memory... this either makes me very excellent, or very sad indeed....
