Just a headsup - if you have the Second Edition Core Rulebook in PDF from DTRPG, it's just been updated. You'll have to check it out in your My Library page. The file should be called Traveller_Core_eBook_FEB18.pdf and you'll find a black and white printer-friendly version called Traveller_Core_Rule...

So I thought I'd give you all a headsup. The DriveThruRPG Traveller sale is closing on February 15th - just two days from now. Here's a link, if you're interested . Core CSC High Guard Vehicle Handbook They haven't discounted the Great Rift material, though. Not being nasty or anything, but I feel k...

Okay, people, one post's been reported twice. You've now got a mod's attention. Back to your corners, please. Play nice. And stop sharing the offending post. Time to ignore that inflammatory comment, and anyone who shares it and comments on it. I have sent a PM to the sender of that post, so just k...

A few weeks back, Marc W Miller faced a personal crisis. Some tests over the summer indicated that he required urgent cardiac surgery. He was not suffering any symptoms, but it was an urgent decision he had to make, and he went in to have his surgery. I just received news that he is out of surgery a...

Yes, I am still here, and I'm still kicking spambots off the boards and taking names.

Very strange. I try to download the Traveller Core Ebook PDF and it instead wants to download the errata file.

That's not the errata file. That's the whole book.

I just checked Drivethru, and the following files all popped up in the Updated Files section of my library. Blank_Sector_Map.pdf Trav_Character_Sheet.jpg Traveller_Character_Sheet.pdf Traveller_2D_Deckplans_BW.pdf Traveller_Core_Rulebook_BW_PRINTFRIENDLY.pdf Traveller_Core_Ebook.pdf Traveller_Core_R...

This was Mongoose's first foray into space station territory. Second Edition High Guard has refined on this somewhat, and more: it has established that space station design is as important as ship design in the core rules for Second Edition Traveller . As for the feel of what life is like on a stati...

Or you could try M-Space, and you can make your SF as hard as you like.

People have written hard science fiction set in the Home Counties, but with a planet full of blind people and Triffids.

Traveller was first published on the first day of the Origins Game Fair on Staten Island, which was July 22, 1977. On July 22, 2017, Traveller turned 40 years old. Wherever you are (unless you're off-planet that day), raise a toast to Marc Miller and his Little Black Books, and play a game of Travel...

Tempted to say that if they are with United or Delta, they are non-transferable...

Yeah, but you know that if someone tried to bump a Traveller from their seat, they'd fight back hard

And what if the refugees encountered a Zhodani Core Expedition and warned them: the Essaray are coming ...

And that makes it even less helpful, because they really could have picked the name from a whole long list of female SF authors, such as (Ursula K) LeGuin, (Anne) McCaffrey, (Dorothy C) Fontana, Chesya (Burke), Octavia (Butler), (Andre) Norton, (Connie) Willis, Tanith (Lee), (C J) Cherryh, Melinda ...

There really are no rules on what happens to ship shares when a Traveller dies. The logical course of action is to assume that the crewmember will have signed ownership of the ship shares back to the ship upon his death, through some clause written into his crew employment contract and written into ...

Currency in the 52nd century would work the same way currency has in the past That cannot be assumed to be correct. The economy of the Far Future might not work the same as the American economy c. 2017, any more than it can be assumed to work the way it used to c. 1977. Whether or not the Imperium ...

I wouldn't say that commodities are necessarily stable or liquid. Popular varieties of bullion – such as gold, silver, and platinum in our world – are very liquid, but sometimes fluctuate wildly relative to major currencies. Gems are even more prone to fluctuation, and often not very liquid except ...

Exactly. But it still pays to deposit often and regularly in your local bank branches. Each branch would have your credstik and citizen ID, and any cash transactions would be taken out of your local branch's account first, and any outsystem accounts afterwards. If you had a pile of bullion worth Cr ...

The only time ships need to be carrying large amounts of cash on them is just after one of their jobs. The crew needs to get their cash value goods stowed away in a bank in a Class A or B Starport as quickly as possible, and their credstiks updated with the new value. Their credstiks would then keep...
