This didn't bother me my first time out, it's crept up on me since then. It now seems like injury/stat damage in character creation is no big deal. Take "permanent" stat damage, buy it off at 5000cr a point. But there's no real choice to be made there: everyone buys it off and moves on. At which...

Is there errata for this? Or even just some worked examples? I cracked it open to try to use it for the first time, and it is not actually user friendly.

Because I've come to think we are playing two different games, out of the exact same rulebook. In the game I play, I picked up from the start on the "don't roll skill checks unless you're being shot at, opposed or working under adverse circumstances" (my paraphrase, but true to the spirit I...

House rule: unskilled penalty is the negative of a character's highest single skill rank, instead of a flat -3. Idea is to level the field between lucky and unlucky character generation, and between retired admirals and shorter term characters. Critiques? Is this something you would like as...

So I'm digging into CSC again, with an eye to coming up with a campaign equipment list somewhere in between it and Core in number of options. A couple questions arise. Has anyone done an edited list like this? Or is CSC an open book to your players if you're using it? I notice that, in...

Or do you prefer published ones? I ask because a question in the Cosmopolite thread reminded me of an attitude I've seen elsewhere, of what looks like people waiting for an official resource. For myself, careers are pretty easy to knock out. The greater labor would be in a custom life events...

So, point defense. Do pulse lasers used for point defense take the -2 mod to hit, or is it a straight up roll? Similarly, does point defense suffer ranged penalties? (Without the laser errata I had considered using range penalties whether official or not, as a way to make sense of the...

Possibly, anyway. Discounting artificial diamonds for [reasons], there's possibly a niche job there for Traveller universe characters, collecting diamonds on high pressure but cold worlds like Uranus and Neptune.
