Just downloaded Book 1 from drivethrurpg again. Pictures still aren’t there.

Well then, back to drivethru I go.

Huh, I never really noticed, but I don’t have those pictures in my PDFs either.

While we have Michael/Martin here with us, I’d like to add that I finished his “Shadow of the Storm: A Story of the Solomani Rim” last night. Enjoyable Traveller fiction. Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Storm-Story-Solomani-Rim-ebook/dp/B01DCR0NXG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Shadow+...

Officers in combat units get a rifle too, so that doesn’t make sense.

Everyone knows that Gun Combat 4 with a scoped rifle and and hard cover is good times. The first time that the players come up with a Carouse-Persuade-Gamble task chain on their own is rewarding, as they realize how much fun that part of the game can be as well.

Isn't that what the skill package is for?

Sure, that definitely helps. Between background skills, free skills from connections, and the skill package, no excuse to not have basic competence to suit the campaign. Mongoose is pretty generous with the skills.

Our house rule, which works well for our group, is that a leadership check is a significant action, but it can be hasted to a minor action with DM -2. All boons must be distributed immediately, but the actual skill check when the boon is used can be in later combat rounds (i.e. when the order is ex...

My campaigns might punish a traveller with no combat ability, although it could certainly be done. Our style tends to lead to a lot of military and agent types. Probably 2/3 are military, scout, or agent, although that includes 5 term characters with only one or two military terms. But even the dipl...

George, good questions. I've refereed a lot of Traveller, but I'll admit this doesn't come that often. My players have likely significantly underused this feature of the combat system. First, combat is one of many circumstances that one could use a leadership skill check. That said, your questions p...

Matthew, I've been critical of errata not being corrected, so it's only fair that I acknowledge the update: Thank you! All the changes look good to me.

(now do the same for Highguard)

cheers!

Thanks. A little bit of a bummer. We scrapped the boat plan, because we would have had to drive the boat through thunderstorms to get to the viewing area. So we watched the launch from the dock about twenty miles away. Close enough to hear it, though. It was already out of sight before the sound rea...

More curious to know if Mongoose still plans to fix the poor quality of the PDF of said poster.

Not to brag, but if Saturday’s launch is a go, I’ll be watching from a boat a few miles from the launch pad. Very excited!

No one is asking you to undercut retailers. We’re asking for a bundled price. That’s not undercutting anyone, as it results in a larger sale. I am very sorry, but that is not the way a retailer might look at it and they might be right to think that way :( Hey man, its your business. No need to apol...

One issue I have with the vehicle rules is that if you look at how large one “space” is, passenger seating takes up Way more space than it should. Unfortunately Mongoose has chosen a vehicle presentation template that doesn’t break down space and cost like the ship template does, but if I design a v...

Good stuff! I didn’t know full color hero forge was available.

Does something material in the history change between MgT1 and MgT2? If not, whats wrong with just using what you have from MgT1? Why would it not suffice?

The kickstarter updates have mentioned that they are ahead of schedule on writing, editing, and layout, but are concerned that art might be slow coming in. But overall they see, to have maintained a good pace.
