I combined it into one concept of Perceived Attitude to accommodate from an individual to a system. I still need to work out how Bounty Hunter and Aslan SOC/Honor/Territory combine with this. https://dragonslayer-traveller.com/index.php?n=Main.PerceivedAttitude

100% In my bringing new players into the fold only 1 person (a 6 year old girl in fact)* used a weapon during their starter mission. Most of my current players feel comfortable with having weapons, I only have one though that has made a big deal about what type of weapon/armor get into combat...

And to bring this back on topic. My take has always been that Charted Space is far more than just the 3I and so I question things like: Why the Aslan bother with the 3I and not just go Spinward? What are the Zhoandi doing with the Thirz Empire that never gets mentioned? The Spinward side of...

The batteries are much better now. It is true that a new battery pack can be expensive still. But not more expensive at the 150,000 mark than a a gas car at that point is when totally repairs, upkeep, gas, etc. Total cost is still in favor of the EV.

Totally off topic of this thread and the forums overall..... But... Who are these people? Who is ever replacing a battery at 100,000 miles? I have driven an EV since 2014. 3rd one now, each about 50,000 miles. I have never had a battery deplete past 85%, (an original Leaf) which is a...

Wales has talked about the expanded cost for WikiMedia because of the crawlers not respecting the requests/code to stop scraping. I increased my donation to them because I want Wikipedia to remain strong.

I am not afraid of the players having any gear they want to purchase, come out of Character Discovery with etc. Because we treat our game as Cooperative Storytelling it will be up to the players as a whole to choose how the story would work with the Battle Dress example. To this point we have...

Yes to Shadows of Sindal and the Drinax companion as the top two to add. After that I would say The Borderland is the best book to add for PoD. It details several key systems you will be using.

Post in thread 'Ship Shares - how do they work in your Traveller Universe?' https://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/threads/ship-shares-how-do-they-work-in-your-traveller-universe.126010/post-1018377 How I deal with it to stop the idea of 'abuse'. Part of the reason I do it this was is to give...

@Studio Cat & FreeTrav I ran a series of Adventures in Space during the library Summer Learning Program in 2024. Mongoose was very supportive, we gave a PDF of the Explorers edition to each of the participants. Post in thread 'Travellers Needed! Traveller's 50th'...

I did use this idea to teach roleplaying at the library. Adding a STEM component along the lines of the memes about geometry and rpgs is easy to do.

This is a key point for any adventure included as part of a starter package. I have no use for miniatures or dead tree products. But many people will want that option. Having the .stl files on the Mongoose site as part of an easy to find/link to package along with the Explorer ruleset, an...

I think this is the crux of having a worthwhile Pinned Post for Conventions. It needs to be moderated so that one or two people can post to the thread for announcements. That way when someone discovers the forums or wants to make the one post about their convention they give the information...

This is why I call my game Cooperative Storytelling.

One thing that helps is to do the actual play in a store (or Library ;) ) to show how easy the system is to play right at the start. I used the Explorers Edition with very good success back in 2024 with the library Adventures in Space programs that I ran...
