I don"t. There really is a 'Church o Elvis'. And for a literary example of one in the space-faring future, see Walter john William's Rock of Ages novel

I hope by "backwards" you refer to fighting over religion, not the fact of people being religious. Faith, I believe (as a pretty much non-religous person) will go wherever thinking beings go. As will conflict.

Religon in the trav universe is something that has always needed exploring. Can you imagine the variations of the Earths faiths cast among the stars and 3000 years of history? Much less all the new beliefs from othrr cultures and races? I recently ran a rescue op involving missionairies being...

Jeesh, I thought Battlestar Galactica & Matrix were Bladerunner sequels? Will the new movies be sponsered by the "Human Resistance" car. Or be like the Indiana Jones films; "Dekker and the Androids of Doooom..." "Dekker & the Shocking Sweater Mystery" (get it? Electric sheep...) :D

I think yu're misquoting Gygax... He said Dungeons & Dragons.

So... When will we see the Traveller 3.5 Edition, or even better, Traveller Pathfinder? :shock: :shock: :D

Hey, another classic is a very early Harry Turtledove, "Non-interference". A human Survey (scouts) ship discovers a Babylon type river culture. Someone on the Survey ship does something against the rules (i.e. breaks the 'prime directive') gets caught. The Surveyship leaves. Then the story...

I've used District 268 for many of the previous mentioned reasons in the posts. The original Beltstrike was a great jump-offf for me. I tried using the Solomani Rim, but it's just too settled. The Islands subsectors were a great setting too.

I can't think of a more ridiclous topic; Ahem... Duke Norris met Elvis in a bar. Not only did he step on the blue-suede shoes, he left wearing them. OMG

Already been done.called Serinity . This was, with the Firefly series, the perfect merchanter adventure setting in Traveller. Change the world names & bingo!!

Quite frankly, I'm underwhelned by Dynasty. I don't see how it will add to a gaming group. Probably not a book I'd purchase. A book of adventure plots (yes, like Patrons, I see a need.)

Check out Reaper Minis, their chrononauts line is pretty good for the Spacers & Space marines http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder

Back in the day, I did a Traveller adventure that featured a merchanter crew hired to haul a Jump-drive to a stranded Klingon ship that had dropped in from a paralel dimension. The physics of their warp drive woldn't work in the Trav universeso they were trying to combine a jump drive with their...

It would have to be a software based solo adventure. Book based, die rolling just dosen't work in today's world. So, as presenented I would vote no.

If I mught suggest, a novel I just read "Night of the Living Trekkie" (Zombie-like infection takes place in Houuston, the setting is a annuaul Star Trek convention) The zombies are interesting from a SF pov an d the aspect of undead Borg are pretty good.
