Read though the book now. It is nice to see so much of the classic stuff put back in. It is a big book with lots of info. Which is good. And no index. Which is bad. The thing that I think gets me the worst is the Travellerization of the whole thing. I could just not abide the haphazard Traveller cha...

It's supposed to be Kaefer throughout. Kaafer? That's kinda horrible. I wonder how that slipped through? I would have liked to have seen more art, too. I also wrote 25,000 words extra, which, among other things, meant that there was less room for art Well look at it this way, you have unintentional...

Cursed be international postal services!! It must be that I am too close to a gravitational well for the stutterwarp courier to work at maximum speed...

Nice!

Minis! I Will Buy! I need Richileu, and an Aconit or two. And a Bismark. Oh, and fighters too. Well, I need most of them. I have asked before and, since I am utterly useless at 3D modelling; How hard is it to convert a 3D image to a printable model?

Sounds a lot like what was in the original 2300 GM's book. Hopefully updated and "Travellerized!" Hope not. I am actually a bit curious as to what that would mean, come to think of it. (yes i understand the lineage etc, but 2300AD is not Traveller) On a decidedly positive note, I find he cover art ...

M-kay. Not my non-existing Traveller-collection, though. Not to say Traveller delenda est, but I see no reason to base collections on core rules. Me? I just look forward to a nicely updated 2300AD universe in a massive book.

Raising the bar, eh . Looking forward to it.

I have heard of the Mongoose tendency to not be overly much on time, so I guess I was prepared for some delays. Let us hope that they will manage to get it out within 3 months late tops at least.

Nose or no nose, where are they at? Two months late, into the third now. I want shiny things!

I chose that picture as a reply to the earlier comment of the non-present carpace on the new illustration. The nature of the carpace is not evident from the sourcebook cover since that only shows the face. I never saw that magazine illustration. Sounds like a good one. I always liked the Käfer conce...

Inside art varied greatly. I like some of it, whilst much of it is not really great. However, I don't recall ever having been confused by its rendering of Käfers.

I agree. It is only vaguely similar to this. If you squint.

Bork! Indeed. Bork in space, even

5 pages of Kaefer pro/contra and one proper preview content comment? Feel free to correct me. Me? I suppose I would have appreciated a 2300ized attempt at Swedish. Would probably be very similar to the somewhat inexact expressions of one of the more popular muppets

Sounds fair. Lets hope it gets "enough attention" then! Subjected to only limited exposure of Trav classic, I often find the various attempts at reconciling the universes confusing and rather pointless, but thats me. As a side note, I am one of those weird ones who go for setting first, sets of game...

Now when there is actually a game, is it not time that 2300ad got its own section? At the moment information about this setting is drowning in Travellerstuff, which while fine stuff I am sure, I am not at all interested in.

I am not surprised, I have always had the impression that combat scenarios are the focus of almost 90 % of all cam- paigns. As mentioned elsewhere, I suspect that "sense of wonder" is usually understood as "I wonder how to kill it". :lol: Too true. I find the military stuff a bit boring and I have ...

Interesting choices of imagery. Reminds of an old topic that I can't remember where it was at about game styles and campaign themes in 2300AD. Seem mostly militaristic so far with a tad of otherness on top.

I already put one laurent ship here. There are so many more! Too many to hotlink here. Just please go here if you have not already:

It is VERY good.
