Has the table been forgotten or is it voluntary ?

Not forgotten, we will return to all the subspecies in the future...

Thanks Matthew ... glad to hear there will be more details about them in the future !

Well, I don't know if we need a reason to hit Vargr with bats. It is the only way they will learn... We wanted to create a slightly greater spread between various alien races. This is only a slight dip - remember, characteristics do not work quite the same in Traveller as (say) traditional D&D-styl...

+8 sounds right. Remember that at this stage it’s just about detecting, not identifying or getting detailed readings. A ship using active jammers sends out massive amounts of signals to overwhelm enemy sensors, so it should be simple to see that something is out there, but it might be very difficul...

Hi,

Page 40 details LPI and ELPI modification to sensors but there is no associated cost to implement them. Is it written somewhere else ? Did I miss something ?

Page 41 Detection mods : For jammers, shouldn't it be "-8" instead of "+8" ?

Thanks for your help.

A T4 adventure (Sleepers, in Anomalies) is about finding thousands of pre-long night people laying in suspended animation ... 1628 years and 194 days since the last visit tells a robot.

Any update about Behind the Claw ? WIll PDF version be released in October or will it be postponed to November (with JTAS, Deepnight and so on to manage at the same time) ? Behind the Claw is 'this' close to completion! Cassie is just doing the last of the deck plans right now (currently ploughing ...

So it appears. I'm sure they'll fix it for the final. The wording of the sentence, "For the sake of simplicity, the referee may simply determine the distance to the jump point and then double the escaping ship’s speed toward that point each round" is also faulty. It should say something to the effe...

We will indeed be including a giant poster map of both sectors with the book!

Just great !

There is written :

"The first method uses the following equation:"

No equation after, but one above...maybe misplaced or a missing one ?

Hi Matthew,

Will there be a poster map of the Spinward Marches coming with the book ? Would be great.

My old one is somewhere...but where ?

Thanks
JNJ

There is a HUGE amount of new stuff :) Absolutely every word of the original has been checked, re-checked and, if necessary, revised. Deneb has been pretty much completely re-written, and there is a bulk hauler's worth of new material in the book. I mean, a lot. Just the new playable alien races al...

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

Hi Matthew,

Will it be mostly a reprint of "the Spinward Marches" published in 2008 or will there be...a lot..of new content ?

Thanks,

Hi, Does anybody know if I can find characteristics for a laser torch somewhere ? (any traveller edition, I can convert stats to Mgt2) Otherwise I will create one. Just GMing Death Station and urgently needing one ! ;-) Thanks. JNJ Just found it in the Mgt Central Supply Catalog : Laser Cutting Gea...

I read Chris Jackson's "A Warrior's Soul" and really enjoyed it. It takes place on a world that happens to be a key spot in the Drinax campaign, which made the story very relatable. Well written and fun. I've also read Martin Dougherty's "The Dimenos Problem," which was also great. Looking forward ...

Anybody had time to read one of the 4 new traveller short stories already published by Mongoose and would be kind enough to provide some feedback or (short) review ? Writing and intrique quality ? very connected or not to Traveller universe ? Learned new things about the Traveller setting ? Provides...

Can someone please design me A 600 ton Wyvern to use in Pirates of Drinax?. I'm very out of practise at doing ships that small. Please and thank you If you want to develop your ship designer skill : read the rules, try to create one, ask questions if any. Then you will have practice and won't ask o...

Thanks to all and especially to AnotherDilbert for his detailed spreadsheet explanation...much clearer to me now ! Double occupancy is indeed indicated in HG page 21 but due to the discomfort seems mainly used for crews : "Double Occupancy Some ships have bunks in their staterooms rather than single...

As far as I can tell the inclusion of the DMs for varying TLs in MgT2 only applies to Freight availability, not Buyer availability, as in MgT1. And this may be an indication that the Mgt1 DM's were not meant to apply in both directions. However, I personally think it makes sense that they would app...
