Both my Secrets of the Ancients & World Builders Handbook have a triangle with 11 in it.

Thanks for this. I had started doing the same you have saved me some work!

The ammuntion chapter in the CSC actually has a disclaimer saying that all the ammo types are referees fiat anyway. If you want to use APDS with Guass weapons just call it something else. Yes you can rule your Gauss weapons are at the maxium efficiency and cannot benefit from any advantage. But...

The railguns which are/were in development would probably use an APDS. The sabot is still seen as beneficial. In fact all three different projectile types for the US Navy protype were saboted. Same physics will apply.

WOTC is going to be rereleasing Spelljammer soon, I dont see any market in a D&D 5E Traveller version. (AIME 5E wasnt really that popular and a lot of regular D&D players did not like it that is why Cubicle did not bother retaining the licence. People wanted all the D&D troupes and were not...

Not according to page 56 of Core Rulebook (not 2022 edition). Says: Skill 0 is competent in using that skill, but probably has had little experience in actually using it. Skill 1, 2 is trained in that skill. Each level represents several years of experience using that skill. Skill 2, 3 is a...

A character with base +3 to hit is not average. Average DEX gives no plus. A character with Gun Cbt 1, is skilled most soldiers would be around that. Any ranged attack over 100 metres is considered Extreme unless the weapon has a Scope and is Aiming. If you allow multiple Minor actions to aim...

The Light Auto Cannon 1D is a typo from the 1st Printing!

Initiative is an opposed check anyway ? The higher effect wins! And unless a trap was spotted it would gain DM+6 for an Ambush? The unaware also getting a DM-6.

The errata isnt my work. It is very useful.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGXOR7pGnJBv-Qx_TvFbXrndZRHg9BDMNtljJrI-t58/edit errata & some clarifications.

Yes you get the other related skills at 0. The Traveller Companion addresses the Science categories in more detail. But by RAW and the Core Book you get all Science at 0. Yes damage effects the DM associated with Characteristics.

I think some of the artwork for Mercenary is not great! Most of the Mercs look like edgy gangers rather than professional veterans. My minds eye sees Mercs along the lines of the old 60s Congo Mercs or Executive outcomes with some fringe paramilitary outfits like Blackwater, which at least the...

Its definitely an error (Like I said before the whole section could do with editing, other Mercenary pdfs have similar mechanical flaws.) I think the whole Boarding Section of the book is clear NO Docking, even with FL is allowed if the ship is in a full Tumble. If you want to allow ships with...

No have to disagree Forced Linkage is still Docking the text says in several places once Tumbling it is Impossible to Dock. And under Free boarding it states "Free Boarding is the only method possible if a target is tumbling." Also under the Contact Phase "It is entirely impossible to dock...
