Jean, I'd like to discuss an idea I have, that I think ADB must know about and at least tacitly approve before I go ahead with it - could you please drop me a note off-forum at editor@freelancetraveller.com?

By all means! I'll be looking forward to seeing them; remember to include your real name for credit when you send them.

When I say I have too much hands on my time, I mean it. With a vengeance. I've barely started putting together what should have been the June issue, and we're half-done already. So, I'll grab a few more articles, and give myself another two weeks of time, and make this a combined June/July issue. No...

The May 2014 issue of Freelance Traveller magazine is ready for download! This month's featured adventure is "The Sounding", by Michael Brown. The PCs are hired for an oceanic "cattle roundup" and encounter trouble on the "trail" and a dark secret. The rest of the 30-page issue is the usual assortm...

There is a problem with the Freelance Traveller mail servers; I suspect they've implemented the new verification that was screwing up Yahoo!, and it's screwing up both inbound and outbound with the hosting company. If you attempt to send to Freelance Traveller (anything @freelancetraveller.com) and ...

The April 2014 issue of Freelance Traveller is ready for download! This month's featured adventure is Timothy Collinson's "Getting There is Half the Fun".

The full weekend cost will be $30 for referees and participants (age 12+; info for age 11- is still pending), or $35 for vendors. There will be a discounted room rate; ment...

Ships built specifically for the Virushi are probably very rare, though you have to wonder how they get into most of the Type S variants, never mind the Donosev. I would guess that Virushi aren't generally found in 'stock' human-proportioned ships, except in extremis , and then it's most likely in ...

After reading the thread on manufacturing ship, I got to thinking about a ship board society, say like Battlestar Galactica, but operating in the OTU. Lets say we have a fleet of civilian ships with some military escort traveling through space, each ship has a minimal jump 2 capacity, and they mane...

"For about a year, now, it seems, neither my FLGS (The Compleat Strategist, NYC) nor their distributor has been getting new Traveller stuff from Mongoose." That's so strange. The New York store is the main store. I use the King of Prussia, Pennsylvania store and it carries all the current books ava...

Yay!, especially if it includes the ones - almost a dozen, IIRC - that I haven't gotten yet because I've been waiting for the hardcopy (Bits & Mortar, remember?)!

Still looking, but this is the topic that discussed it. You even took part. http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54657 The precis was that Mongoose was releasing PDF first, and only releasing hardcopy if the PDF sales indicated enough interest to justify a run. Ah. I'd found it, ...

For about a year, now, it seems, neither my FLGS (The Compleat Strategist, NYC) nor their distributor has been getting new Traveller stuff from Mongoose. This is a Bad Thing, as it means that Matt et alia are not getting their share of my money, and I am not getting my Traveller Stuff. I would very ...

Actually, you don't need EveOnline if you have The Sims 2 or The Sims 3 already; you can use Create-a-Sim. If you look at the Freelance Traveller article on Shuchithra, the picture is of a Sim. It's a small pic because at the time, I didn't know how to get higher-res than that; now I can.
