    How Different is Mongoose 2300AD 1e different from the latest version?

    Well, something had to go. Word count had to be reduced to compensate for the much greater number (and quality) of images. Removing the Traits and focus rules seemed the easiest way to do that, and brings character generation more in line with Core Traveller. I fought to keep the full world...

    Changes in the newest edition of Traveller 2300 (AD)

    Thanks for the positive notes. In retrospect, I would agree with some of your points around the drive systems. Not having mass in the equations does make it more difficult to simulate a 'hard SF' space craft. Given that restriction, I strived for more of a hard science 'feel'. (btw, there is no...

    Question for the designers on 2300AD-Fission core lifetimes

    Given their very compact nature, it felt right to have a limited lifespan on the usable fuel loaded into a starship fission plant. It could easily be stretched to 10 years, or even 20. Keeping it at 5 years means that it is something Travellers would likely have to deal with in the course of the...

    They both have a Surgery time of 1 hour, and it will get noted to get fixed with the rest.

    Tehre may have been some confusion around that. I said _I_ would be finished with it by the 29th. And I am. But then it has to be edited and proofed, then laid out. That takes time.

    Official 2300AD Comments Thread

    Hey folks, Matt has asked me to review all of the issues in the this forum and adjust/fix (or not, to be clear) as appropriate. However, the number of responses, and in particular the massive number from user Gier, are a bit daunting, and it may take me time to get through them all. A couple...

    {[Northern Edge] New TAS product: Robots

    Not even "Kind of"... It's not the OTU. However, the robot designs can easily be used in the OTU, or most other Traveller settings.

    {[Northern Edge] New TAS product: Robots

    The courier drone is designed to securely protect its contents. It's more about not being able to cut it open than shoot it down.

    Kaefer ships?

    There is one in French Arm Adventures. The new 2300AD core book will have one in it (along with a Pentapod ship and a Sung spaceplane), and when Aerospace Engineer's Handbook (ship design and advanced rules) is released, it will have a few more.

    2300AD - Standalone RPG?

    That would be "Colin Dunn" :D I do not see 2300AD 2nd Ed being released as a standalone book. If anything, some of character generation complexity would be dialled back to improve the compatibility with core traveller. However, the ship design book will be stand-alone. I'm reviewing new...

    Ships of the French Arm

    The rules themselves were good, but some of the work around them was not. Since it was my work, I can be honest about it. I've had some life challenges over the last few years, which is at the root of the slow release of material for 2300AD. I expect changes there soon. The biggest change was...
