... my birthday was last week Friday, can I have it then? ;)

Picked up the pre-order for the book, and reading the PDF now. It looks awesome! Thanks, Shannon. "It all started with the purchase of D-Day (1961)" reminds me of my first "gaming" purchase. It was around '78 (making me 13 or 14). And the local bookshop (here in the Netherlands) had someone who...

I was reminded of the Steerage ideas in this excellent Yet Another Traveller Blog... blog: https://travellerrpgblog.blogspot.com/2018/06/passenger-decksteerage-geomorphs-and.html https://travellerrpgblog.blogspot.com/2018/06/hammer-class-passenger-variant-with.html

... you mean I cannot use the book to build a working gravitic drive? ;)

It's more a history of the game itself, by Shannon Appelcline, who wrote two editions of Designers and Dragons (the first published by Mongoose, the second by Evil Hat), see here for more info about what he writes/wrote. I have the second edition, I find it fascinating to read about how the...

But seriously, any news on Whispers from the Abyss? Also cool if it moves to January, if it needs more work (and everyone at Mongoose deserve a nice holiday break!).

It depends on the type of sensors Far Trader A has (and has running, and whether they're using Actov or Passive Radar or Lidar, if they have the choice). And the distance, of course. If we go by the "default" Far Trader A2, it has Civilian Grade sensors installed, which offer Lidar and Radar...

Um, yes, afraid so.

The "tentative list" at the end of the post has a few items which now have an (also tentative ;) ) date attached: The Fifth Frontier War The Complete History of Traveller Starship Operator's Manual And "Invasion" for 2300AD is no longer on the list, it seems?

Not sure if this is an error or just... how it is. But my PDF of The Imperial Navy book has this on the title page: ... while all the other Mongoose Traveller books I checked have this: Oops? (The spacing varies a little, most have a blank line underneath CLASSIC TRAVELLER)

Not a lawyer (only pretending to be one in an RPG ;) ,but I came upon this opinion on the ORC in a discord I frequent: (emphasis mine) So, I'd suggest letting the lawyers take a good look at it. I'm all for some form of open license, and some form of SRD so people can do "compatible"...

Or Dutch lunch (returning around 12:30)? 😉

A long, long while back (in 2007), someone posted this excellent image (unfortunately, a mock-up) on the interwebs, for a fantasy (Conan-esque?) take on Traveller: This poll reminded me of that. Source (as far as I have been able to find) is this...

RE: alternate timelines. Remember that in the GURPS version of Traveller, the Rebellion didn't happen, Strephon wasn't killed, and the "current" time in the GURPS 3e books is 1120 (so a bit past the 1105 of "classic" / 1115 of MegaTraveller). Apart from GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars book...

I'm running a long-term campaign, which (due to time passing) rolled into Fifth Frontier War timeline. I used the original info, campaign book and TAS messages. So when my players dropped out of jump at Darrian, the news of the FFW starting caught up with them. Half of them are scouts (no...

Fighting Fantasy was/is a (long) series of (pocket) books, back in the 1980's, each with a choose-your-own-adventure type story and a simple game system. The series was created by Ian Livingstone and (UK) Steve Jackson, who together also created a small game publisher called Games Workshop ;)...

There are also (different) rules for gas giant skimming in the Drinaxian Companion. My current (Drinax) campaign is using those. It might be an idea to have both alternatives, along with something of a restatement of the "how to handle this if you don't want to bother" rules (from the core...

I realised I never got around to posting the stats I used in the end. The "complete package" uses the text + image from JTAS 6, and adds the following text + game stats: The IISS Grav Bike has advanced Stealth and Camouflage systems. Note that the Camouflage does not affect the pilot or...
