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.

I'm not really sure if there have been many innovations in RPGs in recent games. The recent ones I can think of are collaborative games where the GM is more of a guide than a dictator, and the integration with digitial (edit: And using funny dice which is all the craze now). I assume you're referri...

A group of travellers who goes looking for trouble, rather than just for the next cargo, always seemed more fun. Just my opinion. Play what works for you. Agreed. Had I taken the time to simulate trade before starting my last campaign, I would have modified the rules first. Yes, you want the occasi...

I’ve been toying with a different sort of subsidy - having a system government offer a low-interest loan (say half the usual rate) to a group planning to buy a ship in return for other considerations. Maybe something like a required route, reserved shipping space at a discount for local companies, ...

These days you wouldn't get away with "game". It's "collaborative storytelling experience".

Hey, whatever sells the books and brings in new players!

The best source for truth on the operation of subsidized merchants is The Traveller Adventure —or, using the Mongoose version— Aramis: The Traveller Adventure . The basic arrangement is that the ship is paid for by the subsidy agency and that the crew pays its running costs. That's a gross oversimpl...

How about a referee’s briefing on high government and law level worlds? Dictatorships of each type and how that plays out in the Traveller universe. How a high law level typically goes hand in hand with a high government level and what it means when there’s a discrepancy between the two (e.g., gover...

Sounds like it's going great, PsiTraveller! Flatlined was a lot of fun to run. Can't wait to hear how it all turns out.

Good topic of conversation. I think it's also in the interest of referees to have player balance, but unfortunately, Traveller isn't designed to promote it. Rolling 2D six times is going to produce wildly disparate results. You're going to have some weak characters, some middling characters, and som...

The characteristics and skills of the characters are—quite frankly—a bit difficult to manage. With expert programs, augments, most of the armor types available, and dangerous combat rules, a player’s die rolls are not that big of a deal. Traveller is a game in which the role playing is more importan...

Page 63: Tokolfeahr, not Tokolfealr Tokolfeahr, not Tokohfealr On a side note, got a doubt about the Aslan word "Ahriya" in the Glorious Empire article (JTAS 2, page 101) too. Is this the plural of "Ahriy", or another Errata? Pirates of Drinax, Book 1 has the clan name spelled two ways: Tokohfealr ...

Possibly inspired by SpaceX's Spaceman?

Do you have Gareth Lazelle's nicely put-together space combat chart? Very useful for keeping track of distances between ships. Here's the link on DriveThru:

Great idea, bklokis. I've run both "Ihatei!" and "Prodigal Outcast" so I'm all in on the Aslan lore and roleplaying. After running the two adventures, one of my players became intrigued with the Aslan and suggested the idea of running a strictly Aslan campaign, in which all three players take the ro...

Does it use game mechanics from both Great Rift and the Naval Campaign books?
