    Evaluating the art in the Core Book

    Pardon my rambling too, the other night, I was jammed up on the cold medicine, and sort of "freestyling" it. Money's the thing, to be sure. I have tons of illustrator freinds and very few work as illustrators in the classical sense. There are tons of extremely talented people around, and some...

    Pure At Heart - Good And Evil In Traveller

    IMTU, whic is based on the otu pretty closely, The solomani are true Human Supremacists, as in they have purged most of the non-human races from the Solomani Sphere. Their society is a lot like 1984 meets the Third Reich meets Stalin in a bad mood. For example, The Vegans in my timeline have...

    Evaluating the art in the Core Book

    The last thing longtime Traveller Fans should be are Art Critics. While its true that I have seen a few duffers and clams here and there, its nothing when you look back on some of the downright ridiculous stuff of the past. I think the guy that had it for the old stuff was Detrick, his stuff not...

    Ship's Orientation: Horizontal VS Vertical

    I'm certainly predisposed towards areodynamic style landing operations, lander-types are also a good. Landing's the thing, I guess. I look at it from more of a configuration standpoint. Is a ship a slab, collection of cylinders? That sort of thing. There is certainly a need for some...

    What is a Feudal Technocracy

    Here's how I made the one for my landgrab benign: Sidur Haski has a native pop of 20,000 technocrats. They are direct descendants from Vilani lanthanum* miners and colonists. The system is not exactly a garden world. The first colonists had to use every scrap of available tech in order to...

    Anyone done up Yacht Deckplans?

    I'm designing the Blue Smoke. It's tonnage is being fixed and the auxiliary wing configuration and color scheme is being picked out. I think it is a scheme very similar to a USN Carrier Aircraft Blue, like a Corsair from WW2, but it might have stealth black underside countershading. Not sure...

    Hello? Does anyone know who I could ask to get this question answered, or a suggestion as to where I could re-preorder to get the book on release? :?:

    So what is a Pirate Base?

    And amazing how long that an area holds onto that history. My childhood hometown in America, in Rhode Island, is a huge bay, and it was only in the end of the 60s that some of the dock districts were "cleaned up" and they got rid of all the seadog bars and cat houses. In the past, it was really...

    So what is a Pirate Base?

    Yes, after looking over notes: the PCs left an Embassy on a TL3 world of tribal but advanced humanoids, with several cases of ACRs, Grenades, Armor. This was done to "Man who would be King" the local tribes into a native fighting force. 10 of the best local braves were taken aboard as an...

    High Guard Pre-order Question

    I pre-ordered High Guard thru Amazon in the US, and just recieved a delay extension notice on shipment. Should I keep approving these as they come in until the book ships?

    So what is a Pirate Base?

    I referee a game now in which the Pirate PCs are part of a tenuous Pirate coalition. This coalition has the resources to setup "Enclaves" on asteroids or other out of the way locations, where the Pirates can meet and "trade" spoils with each other and loot, get news. Recently, the main ship in...

    760 Patrons - Wow

    Recommend it highly. The thing that I like about it is that the entries can be visualized for any setting. If it was the OTU being visualized, it is like looking out a train window at it. It is one of those books that is desperately needed by Traveller. One that begins to set tone elements to...

    760 Patrons - Wow

    Awesome book. Lots of quick adventure slugs and Fun "Patron" types. Very imaginative. Particulary digging the Wild Card section. Art is GREAT, overall. Traveller art has had a consistent nonconsistency over the years, but the works presented give the feel of glimpses into aspects of the...
