It will be good to see JTAS again and put in my limited backing $$.

@Mountainman - I can understand your thinking...I think. While it is hard to use the combat rules all the times there are some situations where it is needed. In my games, we run light rules most of the time but when it comes to combat you need to get a bit more crunchy. I believe that the...

There are no guarantees going to the doctor but I think the negative 2x effect rule would be too harsh except in the extreme situations like an untrained person trying to perform surgery. If the player is just trying to stop the bleeding (not doing a tourniquet, etc.) then I wouldn't apply...

I know the GM you are referring to and the last time I talked to her she had said the craft had been demilitarized.

I like that. It gives me something to work on for my group.

I too would be interested in this. Although I have to admit that option number 3 isn't really a third option but more of a result of either one or two, depending on what is said about them. It was my understanding that the missile racks are bought in groups of 12 so that would put them in a...

I met with my group on Saturday and after giving them a couple of options was able to convince them that it just isn't in the game system to raise stats. Skills we had figured out before on how we wanted to handle raising so that wasn't a problem. I liked reading your suggestions and offered...

I am having trouble finding the mechanics on how to raise up character stats in Mongoose Traveller after the game starts. I have some of my players who want to do that and I wanted to see how other GMs have handled it.
