Re: New to Traveller... questions
Anti-tank rifles were certainly a thing at TL6 Unfortunately CSC puts anti-materiel rifles at TL7 and gives them a magazine capacity of "1". Sometimes I think authors should ask around in the community, before they write such things. Anyway, CSC-conform would be a bolt-action rifle firing heavy amm...

Re: Pirates of Drinax - GMs thread
And the Ktiyhui class courier is an awesome little ship, if you don’t need cargo room. A 200 ton ship with jump 3 and 12 points of armor? Yes please. Rip out that luxury suite and the shine (no Aslan travellers here) and you’re good to go. Incidentally, the luxury suite comes in at 10 dtons, the sa...

Re: Pirates of Drinax - GMs thread
And yes, AndrewW is correct, I did write The Glorious Empire . I hope you all enjoy it when it comes out. Old School was a proofreader on the project (and inspired dozens of additional ideas during its development), so if anything is wrong with it, we can blame him. So we can't enjoy it before it c...

Re: Pirates of Drinax - GMs thread
@Old School 1) The psion on Hroal Irontooth's payroll is mentioned, rather oddly, only in the background story of Marine Salvesdes of Treasure Ship . Salvesdes is said to be conditioned to Hroal, after a brief battle between the two, in which Hroal overpowered Salvesdes despite his battle dress. Aft...

Re: Behind the Claw - Now in Stock!
Alas, there is help for you in Pirates of Drinax Vol. 2, which covers all of the Trojan Reach sector, including Dpres subsector and has a full column (i. e. 1/2 page) on Thalassa.

Re: Behind the Claw - Now in Stock!
None of the Thalassas known are in Deneb or Spinward Marches sectors, so what has been said counts for all of them: https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Thalassa_(world)

Re: Pirates of Drinax - GMs thread
That might have been the original idea, but I can see a few good reasons not to go with it: Using Hroal that many times would be narratively awkward (he'd be figuring into three adventures by default), and would also cause an issue if he was eliminated (somewhat likely in ToS) in one of the stories...

Re: Pirates of Drinax - GMs thread
I sent six 300 ton Oghman Raiders (from Makergod) with 8 fighters to scare them off, but it didn't work – they charged in. With some unusually clever tactic (keeping at Very Long range, good for Particle accelerators, bad for pulse lasers) they triumphed. We just used the very same ships during "Pr...

Re: Drinaxian Compnaion
I think so too. The book could use a bit moving around some pages and adding more bookmarks in the PDF, I think. Back to errata: Rorix Command Vessel, p. 191: The ship is missing entries on "Software" completely. Cestion Strike Boat, p. 195. The ship is missing entries on "Software" completely. Also...

Re: Pirates of Drinax - GMs thread
Mentioning Hroal Irontooth’s psion accomplice, is it possible some mistake was made in the writing and Dai Kinnear was supposed to be the Psion and her Aslan captain actually be Hroal? I was wondering the same thing. After all, an Aslan outcast pirate and his psion accomplice is a specific set-up. ...

Re: Pirates of Drinax - GMs thread
I have a different problem with the PDFs: Some pages are layed out in such a way that the text crosses into the ornamental bars beneath. That makes about the lower 1/8th of the page illegible. It's plain weird, too.

Re: maneuver drives no fuel?
Yes, it is. I'm just not used to space and atmospheres change a lot of things. I get stupid too, sometimes.

Re: Pioneer Class Scout for Roll20 and VTT
Someday I have got to learn how to get this stuff set up in Roll20. Unless VTT is available for Mac now... I fail at that, too. I'd be happy to get some hints and learn new tricks. We're doing an almost weekly game of Pirates of Drinax these days and it's a blast. But I'd like to integrate maps more.

Re: maneuver drives no fuel?
This contra-grav or anti-grav technology is why I sometimes struggle with large ships in Traveller. It feels strange to imagine a dreadnought being as fast as the Sindalian Harrier from Pirates of Drinax. On the other hand, I can live with that, since it's supported throughout both the system and th...

Re: Drinaxian Compnaion
Yes, I was wondering about that, too. The adventure PDFs are interrupting the first set of rumours from the last and the following Central Supply Catalogue. That looks like a bad insertion during edit.

Re: Drinaxian Compnaion
You bet I will! But my group is only 2/3 through Honour Among Thieves, so the Rorix can wait. I'm thinking about including one in The Treasure of Sindal. I'm waiting for Shadows of Sindal to decide what's going to happen when and if, though.

Re: Drinaxian Compnaion
Page 195, the Cestion Strike Boat: The fluff text box speaks of gunners, but the crew roster mentions none. Also, a captain is named in the fluff, but not in the roster, although an astrogator is listed, but not named in fluff. Additionally, it's called a boat and consequently has not j-drive. It al...

Re: Drinaxian Compnaion
That is strange, a previously released PDF version named the ship 'Marduk Lightfoot'. The sentence goes: "Maris has secured the services of the Marduk Lightfoot , [...]" It seems a still older version made it into the Drinaxian Companion? Man, I hope the Companion gets updated as a PDF and the print...
