I don't see the need for a bunch of tables for this: the off-camera ship simply generates a certain amount of return on investment (much like unused ship ownership from chargen can). You only need to worry about it beyond that when the story specifically calls for it, such as during the Sun & Shado...

Running Drinax, my PCs are at the point where they've got an additional ship and crew in their meager 'Fleet'. So far they have assigned this ship to plod a route from Clarke to Palindrome and back playing pirate, while the PCs take care of the main missions. At some point every couple of months the...

A few oddities: 1: Amazing rolls: A player who has never played Traveller before arrives a little later than the rest of the group. They have already rolled stats. He sits down and asks what to do. I give him 2d6 and say roll 6 times then you place them any way you want for the 6 stats on the sheet...

There was some discussion of bounty from the Treasure Ship, mainly regarding information rather than physical treasure, way back on page 3 of this thread.

Ahh yes, that's what I was thinking of, thank you!

I'm going to be running Treasure Ship, post-iHatei, in the next couple of weeks and I swear I remember a post on this forum (maybe even this thread) about the possible contents of the Treasure Ship, however upon searching I'm coming up blank. I've got some fantasy RPG players at the table and I know...

To avoid the risk of this post sounding a bit JMISBEST-esque, I'll say straight away this idea did NOT come to me in a dream: In my current Drinax campaign, we've just started iHatei! and it so happens that two of my PCs are Aslan who for one reason or another left the Hierate to become adventurers....

VICIOUS KICK Description: Seize an opening during compbat to viscously kick your opponent. Rules: Attack and deal damage per the unarmed combat rules. STOMP Description: When an opponent is on the ground after tripping or falling, stomp or kick the opponent. Rules: Attack and deal damage per the un...

THROW SAND Description: A character throws sand, dirt, or a goblet of wine into his opponent's face in order to gain an edge in combat. Rules: Use a minor action to pick up the sand with a hand free (no roll needed, requires there to be sand or equivalent present), and then another minor action to ...

Why ask a question then reject the answer? You do realise that sooner or later nobody will respond, don't you?

Sooner I hope.

But I always thought it was a Hard Sci-Fi game...

So, yes, the extra fuel used to run the PP slightly hotter for acceleration is negligible.

Makes sense, thank you!

It just occurred to me recently that the majority of the fuel in a modern-day shuttle is used breaking the planet's gravity well, which is why Highports are way more efficient than Downports for point-to-point destinations. There is a time table for surface-to-orbit and orbit-to-surface travel in th...

As part of my Referee-OCD I've been working on a Systems Data & Missions workbook to keep all the main missions and possible side-missions straight, along with system descriptions, notable NPCs from that system, and plot points as my PCs visit those systems. While copying in the side-mission text fr...

Aiming for the end of this month - previews are imminent!

Hi Matt,

Aside from previews, I was curious if you had a general table of contents you could share?

Not sure this counts as errata technically, but can we get a serious set of bookmarks?

Better yet, can we get the ability to create our own bookmarks?

This.

Sounds like something your brother would post...

The least interesting things about RPGs include stat lists, fleet descriptions, and territorial surveys, especially when given with zero context, history, or description of the trials and challenges conquered to acquire such lists.

A brand new line of Traveller fiction has just been released, and we will be adding to it every Wednesday for the foreseeable future! Maybe this has already been addressed in lead up discussions, but how do these stories relate to Canon if at all? Some of these stories may end up being about stand-...
