    How to make Traveller more popular with TTRPG players

    With all VTTs the choice is Time versus Money. Almost any of them can be used for Traveller. Fantasy Grounds gives you the option of doing it yourself or the GM just buying the work off the shelf. There is zero cost to players to join or play. As Endie said there are many people who only use...

    National Science Fiction Day - January 2nd

    Agreed that Hail Mary is an excellent book. The movie will come out in March, it looks to be a good representation of the source material. It even tempts me to go to a theater again.

    A bit non-traditional for these forums but my current read is "Murder at Martingale Manor" part of the Chronicles of St. Mary's series by Jodi Taylor. For those unfamiliar with the series (27 in total): Researchers and Librarians from the Institute of Historical Research, investigating major...

    National Science Fiction Day - January 2nd

    Today is National Science Fiction Day - one of those made-up holidays to celebrate something fun. Issac Asimov's birthday was chosen to be National Science Fiction Day for the US. What new (published in the last 12 months) science fiction book (or adjacent non-game material) have you read...

    How to make Traveller more popular with TTRPG players

    This is why I refer to our game as Cooperative Storytelling. We have a very sandbox style game. I leave breadcrumbs, the players decide where to go, what to do. Everyone writes; I write for the significant NPCs players can write in the background NPCs as they contribute to the ongoing story...

    Scams and Frauds in the Imperium

    Taxes, the Imperium, and You!

    Mongoose Traveller 2e Product Release Dates

    The problem with the Product List on the site (for these purposes) is that it only lists the product and a link to it. Every product would have to be opened to check a release date for what Stargrove is trying to create. Release date and copyright date are close enough for these purposes I am...
