In my neck of the woods, Traveller is practically unknown save for a few old gaming grognards like me. When it comes to role-playing in Milwaukee, if it isn't Pathfinder or 5E , no one is interested. Believe me, I've tried and I've spent too many afternoons at the FLGS in front of an empty table try...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It looks like I have a lot to think about.

How would this idea work? If you want to add more hardpoints beyond the basic 1 HP/100 dton limit, it will cost an additional 10dtons to represent structural reinforcement, weapon and magazine space, electronic, etc..

I'd build the Roci with a missile turret/barbette, a railgun barbette, and PDCs - and probably not much armour, based on how easily it's penetrated by PDCs in it's turn. I don't have HG in front of me right now, but can the new point defense turrets be used against ships like the PDCs can? Also, I ...

Lately, I've been thinking of ways of converting Traveller for play in The Expanse series. One of the few snags I'm hitting is in ship design. On the TV show, The Rocinante appears no bigger than 200 dtons, but is bristling with rapid-fire cannons and anti-ship torpedoes. (In the novels it eventuall...

Awesome! I look forward to it. There aren't a lot places you can purchase historical minis in my neck of the woods. Sure, plenty of 40K and Warmahordes, but little else.

I just got into 3D printing, and one of the first models I picked up was Mongoose's Graf Spee. I got a really nice print of it made on my home printer and I was wondering if you were planning on putting more more models?

Since last summer, I've been enjoying The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey (aka Daniel Abrahams and Ty Franck) and I'm looking forward to the TV adaptation coming this December. As I read the books, I can't help but think that this is a setting ripe for role-playing and that Traveller would be the...

I was hoping to finish it after The Void came out so I could take full advantage of the Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licensing was planned for The Void? I quote page 18 from the Quick-Start rules: The Void is licensed under the creative commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike lic...

I was hoping the Realms of Cthulhu book could be used. But it looks like it is just for Savage Worlds. Cthonian Stars will be plenty though for me for Mongoose Traveller. Funny you should mention it, but I was working on a Savage Worlds / Realms of Cthulhu conversion for Chthonian Stars . I was hop...

Good News Everyone!

I just checked DriveThru and Chthonian Stars is now, FINALLY, available as a full color, POD, hard cover!

Is there a possibility of a Star Cruiser II? That's what hooked me into the 2300 setting in the first place, and drew me in again when I rediscovered the "Lone wolf" campaign in Challenge magazine. How about A Call To Arms: Star Cruiser ? It would probably have the easiest movement rules of any of ...

Can we get a preview?

How soon until we see a preview?

It's certainly legendary enough if only for its publishing weirdness... I'd buy a Tékumel sourcebook for Legend (including a bestiary and Gazeteers for all of the Five Empires) in a heartbeat! I've been waiting for a set of playable rules for Prof. Barker's setting for years. The original Empire of...

Neat! I'll add it to the links list.

Hey all:

Having fallen in love with Stars Without Number, I've started an unofficial discussion group on Yahoo. Stop on in and join:

See you there!

I've always wanted to see miniatures of 2300 AD starships.

Could the mods kindly ban this moron? I want to talk about Traveller and other Mongoose games here. If I wanted to bang my head against the wall trying to talk sense to a UFO-kook, New Ager, conspiracy theorist, cryptozoology fan, theist, or other related whack job, I'll go to the JREF forums.

Dang it!

Unless Wildfire has snuck out PoD copies of the rules, I'm going to assume you have the .PDF file. Open the file in Acrobat Reader, find the deck plan, copy it like any other image (i.e. right-cick on image, select copy), open op you graphics program of choice, paste it into a new file, save it, the...
