CSCU Update Assault Pistol pp. 143: "An autopistol designed to fire bursts of fully-automaticf ire, assault pistols are notoriously inaccurate and suffer DM-2 to all attack rolls when using burst or full auto modes. Users are advised to carry as many extra magazines as they can as the assault...

-2 to hit is in the description of the machine pistol, which is actually Auto 2 not Auto 4.

What is the point? Burst gives +2 damage but is then -2 to hit and hence effect/ damage. Or fire single shot with no penalty and hence gain a +2 effect over firing in Burst (and hence +2 more damage). Burst is actually worse than single shot - the net damage is the same but you are -2 to hit.

Secrets of the Ancients etc makes it clear there are shadowy Psi Agencies within the Imperial Bureaucracy (there is an antagonist NPC with these powers), with sweeping investigative powers. Likely candidates would presumably be sidelined into these.

I'm going to run this with our group but a pertinent question. When it is done is there a sequel? As a GM I need to know whether to move the players on to other things, or tie into such.

Thanks for the replies. There are no references to Disintegrators in the CSC at all. The Fusion guns in CSC are the bulky Imperial versions rather than the pistols and rifles in WOTA, which give basic damage but no other stats or restrictions.

If you're going to include things like disintegrate guns/ abilities and fusion guns, at least give stats/ rules for them ......

Before switching our Roll20 group to MGT, we played it using CT and snapshot. My character was fairly average, and my experience was that for me combat was horrible. The high AP characters basically always had three or 4 actions before i got to do anything: I was either a spectator to better...

Hmm, I wonder if I'm one of those being called a sock puppet simply because I don't make many posts, and because I've criticised a very Piss Poor Traveller - like product. The fact is: -I run and play MGT and enjoy it, and some of you have even viewed some of my Obsidian Portal gamesites -I...

There's a bit of an odd attitude here: "It is Traveller and therefore we should support it." Well no, actually. If its crap we shouldn't, and we should say so. No, I'm not a Director. No, I'm not an actor. I'm just a viewer. But if something is sub par, I should - and do - say so. Otherwise...

It looks absolutely awful. Kill it dead I say: with plasma beams and caustic criticism. Amateurish. Crap.

My view differs. MGT has been a success because it is characterful, streamlined, simple, and a good homage to CT. Sure the zillions of supplements clutter it up - but that is the life cycle of all rpg systems. The Liftoff version is simple, but lacks character, interesting character...

Seems a bit off that no one has bothered answering this guy. AS a Strontium Dogs GM I'd be interested in the answer too.

My honest comment? I like the existing system because it is simple, and guns are already quite powerful enough. Don't make the mistake of trying to turn the game into a 'realistic' combat simulation. It never will be, and if it was characters wouldn't last 2 seconds. I hate the mods...

My Chthonian Stars campaign is available for view if you're interested. You can see how I've twisted a couple of standard traveller adventures-its tricky but basically you just chop the elements up and stick the bits you want back together again. My game is on Obsidian Portal, and is called...

Or....stick a folder up in front of you and read your rulebook. Cost = 0.

Well I ran it in about 1990 using GURPS rules (pre GURPS Traveller...) and was the kickstart for a game that ran maybe 6 years. Other events/ adventures/scenarios were woven into the timeline at convenient points, and as I recall there is sufficent 'time slack' in the narrative to allow you to...

It always amuses me when discussions on melee weapons etc always bring out a host of martial artists/ re-enactors/ ex KGB assassins etc detailing the merits of one version of gaming reality over another. Better I think to accept that any gaming system, to be playable, is abstracted and...

There was a giant squid analogue in 'Mission on Mithril'. In one of the encounters, the suid would attack your amphibious ATV.

I think there still is a niche market: Dark City games manage to regularly publish stuff for their 'Legends' rules. When I started gaming there were lots of rpg groups around, and like many I suppose I eventually stuck with a small group of core players for many years. When that group scattered...
