The first edition deck plans are a bit different than the second. However, I did make these...

I'll sometimes ask who plays your character in the movie version of our campaign. I like it when they come up with more obscure answers than "Brad Pitt."

The player shout out, "What the hell are these, ceremonial guns?!".

Nice improv on the player's part!

But the real question is did they get the insurance?

Sorry about the multiple posts above. Not sure how that happened.

Yes, they did! And were therefore not obligated to pay the six-figure reimbursement.

My favorite quote from the last three years of running Traveller occurred when I was running one of my own DriveThru advenutres, "The Tktk Convergence." The Travellers were at Tktk's pedestrian, type-D downport, and went to an air/raft rental agency. They intended to take the air/raft deep into the ...

Geir, do you have any interest in redeveloping it in a way that makes it fit more cohesively with canon? I realize you're already doing that, based on your comments above, but you might be able to get Marc's blessing and make your work official. Travellermap's creator/admin posts here on the forums....

It baffles me that The Beyond is somehow "official data" according to Travellermap. It just doesn't fit in with canon at all.

Great ideas, Old School. I sometimes toy with the idea of a homebrew with no FTL travel. Something like Alistair Reynolds' Revelation Space series. It would put the focus on STL travel within systems. It's easy to scoff at this idea, but it can work. If the travel between neighboring stars takes, sa...

I blame paltrysum. Not because he had anything to do with it, but he loves those names. I really do! And the reason why I like them? Because they're unpronounceable but give us an inkling of how Trokh might be spoken. The Aslan are supposed to be alien, and Dave Nilsen's "humans in furry suits" asi...

I've read through the fifth book, "Nemesis Games." Great series. Didn't much care for "Cibola Burn," but that line from Amos was classic. I have trouble watching v shows. Just no attention span for them. But I should give the show a try. I discovered the books about six months ago and have devoured ...

They still get background skills. Note the text: "Traveller creation for Aslan follows the same procedures and concepts as described in the Traveller Core Rulebook." They just didn't bother to reprint the background skills table since it's superfluous.

Not that Traveller, with its 2D maps, pays that much attention to this level of detail, but if you like incorporating some hard science into your astrography, here's a great article on the impact that location has on the potential to sustain life: https://www.supercluster.com/editorial/prime-exoplan...

That is indeed wayyyyyy out there, on the next spiral arm, as expected, I suppose.

Maybe have a look at what the old Fifth Frontier War war game assigned them for forces as your guide.

Depending on the system you are using the Navigation skill used to be the Astrogation skill. I obviously meant Astrogation if that is the system you are using (sorry - old-school moment) D’oh! The fault is all mine. I was at work and skimming and the Navigation didn’t register. Oops. Yes, fine requ...

I have implemented the idea of Licenses. One that i have is a "Ship's Master" license (thank you David Falkayn). Requires Piloting-1, Navigation-1 and Engineering-1.

No Astrogation-1? Can’t get far without it.

Traveller doesn't really have Zoomer characters you see, because that would be 0-1 terms in char gen.

Kind of unfortunate, that.

The outpost under the brown dwarf?

That was done by new Mongooser Cassie!

Beautiful work, Cassie! Looking forward to your future work.

I love the art piece! Who's the painter?

Am I the only one who channels Brian Blessed when running the King?

So much fun!

Good choice. I think he might be played by Jack Black in my campaign.
