My point, as I previously stated, is that I don't agree with the original post's premise, that interstellar travel is rare, and that the Travellers are "weirdos" because they travel. Note that there's a wide range between "rare" and "huge volumes of trade and travel", which I haven't argued for...

It sounds interesting! If you set up your Traveller universe that way I think it would be the basis for a fun game. I don't think it describes the Classic Traveller/Mongoose Traveller 3rd Imperium setting though.

They're called starports, they're all about interstellar travel. Traveller generally doesn't have a huge amount to say about in-system travel, so you can have as much or as little as you like and it would vary significantly depending on local system geography. The Traveller Adventure, published...

And yet a lot of the NPCs that the PCs encounter will have some relationship to dungeons and dragons (or other monsters), they have info on the dungeon that the PCs need, they want something retrieved from the dungeon, they want the dragon killed, they need to be rescued from the dragon. Someone...

The game is called Traveller. Positing that not much travelling goes on is a bit of a head scratcher to me!

Ugh, I checked a couple of different ships I'd made and they all had -5000 for the astrogator salary... then I realised the "-" was a speck of dust on my screen. I'm sorry for wasting your time with that. For the small weapons, HG p40 says fixed mounts cost 5000Cr per weapon (plus weapon cost)...

I've encountered a few issues with the 2023.12.12a version of the sheet: Tab 1-Hull - "Calculate cost as if module is installed?" (for modular sections) gives a negative cost Tab 8a-Weapons - The cost and space for small weapon mounts and turrets does not match up with the rules on pg40 HG 2022...

A high quality reproduction of the original black box. I'd want the 1981 versions of the LBBs though, which feels like I'm missing the point.

Here's how I fix it: when designing a vehicle, if it's TL12 or above, I just assume it has a fusion power plant at no additional cost or space. The range might be off but when it's over 1000km it rarely comes up anyway. After all, at lower TLs you don't have to specify or design things...

p16 - Astronaut career gives Vacc Suit 0 as part of basic training, so it is redundant to receive as the Rank 0 skill as well.

I won't have time for a proper read through until the weekend, but I thought I'd start off with some comments on character creation: p 10 - Pre-Career Events. The "gain a permanent DM-1 to any qualification rolls for a career" effect on a roll of 2 seems overly harsh on top of the failing to...

Minor errors in the playtest document: p4 - "D6" should be "D66"

Thanks for this great spreadsheet. One question, I couldn't find fuel/cargo containers (HG 2022 p49) in the fuel or cargo tabs, are they missing or I am looking in the wrong place?

Copied from the thread in the Traveller forum for visibility: Page 48 & 49 - Giiala Larkhen and Luude Pinrosaqu are listed as having identical skills, except that Luude's Vacc Suit level is cut off. Page 77 - the standard scout deck plan is used for the Garnette, but the text says that several...

I'm still reading through the book, but it looks like a fun campaign with plenty of opportunity for the referee to annoy the players with crazed conspiracy theorists. I have one minor complaint, the description of the Garnette says that the workshop, probe drones and air/raft have been replaced...
