Eagle class modular cutter? Is that a nod to Space 1999?

To give a reasonable overview is difficult because of the scope as people have said. It is too massive in terms of worlds and cultures and time. If I were you I would write just a one or two of page primer. List the major races (and local polities like the Darrians and the Sword Worlders if you...

Me too - I have some of the original information, but not all. A full workup of these three sectors would be a great addition to the line-up of books (and take us to somewhere with a whole different set of political issues). I think it would be a massive job to do it properly (or at least do it...

He means Hellworld. Both Feneteman and Aramis show as hellworlds on travellermap. Hellworlds are mentioned in passing in the Companion, but I agree neither the core rules or the companion mentions He as a "trade code"

Having recently bought this to read whilst not working all that much I am pretty impressed. However I have noticed an issue on the Sword Worlds subsector map in the book. Mithril is shown as A-C on the map, rather than E-0 (the UWP underneath is correct)

Yep pretty much what Ian has said. I haven't seen Tools For Frontier Living in any games shops in person or online yet. Is there a delay?

In fact you can have plenty of games without ship to ship combat at all. In my game there has been no ship to ship combat (despite one of the characters being ex-navy and wanting to try and 'help' her old mates out hoping that she can get some kind of semi-official advisor role or even a...

One of the big problems for Herolab for me is that it only runs on Windows. I really like the "The One Ring" online character generator ( at http://azrapse.es/tor/sheet.html ). Which is just HTML5 I believe. Obviously a Legend character generator is a much larger prospect to write. But it...

I've just downloaded it and taken a quick look. The good - it has bookmarks and it has layers (you can turn the graphics and the backgrounds off). The not so good - some of the art is in the graphics and some in the backgrounds layer. The page background is in the Master Layer. For example...

Yes, but you are just thinking of grimoires as repositories for spells. My opinion is much closer to that of Richard. Grimoires are more systems of thinking, systems of research. I would be unhappy with a system of magic where I am as good with that new spell I discovered in some old tower...

Well not quite. I believe Minions Of Mirth used 3.5ed D&D rules under OGL and presented the tables and rules as HTML upon user request. They did not present their code.

I think you have the wrong end of the stick. Only the Legend books (the main rulebooks and the ... Of Legend books) will be open-content. I seriously doubt they would allow free use of the Deus Vult 'brand', and probably can't allow free use of the Elric trademark/brand (I don't know if Elric...

Nice. Lanth has a scout base too though (I assume you just overlooked this). It would also be nice to see "Lanth" in caps or a different colour or something to show that it is the capital.

I don't do in-game music - although sometimes may play a track at the start of the game to get people to focus. I am planning to start a new game next month and will use "Space Is Deep" by Hawkwind at the start. Having said that some of the bands mentioned are good ones (I'm a big fan of early...

Simple answer. No. Long answer. Not really. Longer answer. BRP was first published in 1980 as a very cut down version of RQ for general roleplaying. Since then it has had a lot added into it to help support stuff not catered for by RQ rulesets. You can consider it the same system (d100)...
