I'll be at TravellerCon/USA 2025. Here are the games! TravellerCon/USA Table Top Events . Anyone else going?

The way he talks about the Moot is really good. It shows it as having influence and necessity.

Great! So just keep the right trajectory and you will be fine.

I always thought that if you were on a heavy gravity planet, or even skimming its surface, it would affect those inside the ship. Say a Beowulf style far trader skims the surface of a gas giant with an gravity of say 6 g. They could build up enough inertia to skim the gas surface and get fuel...

Thanks everyone! This will make the fuel scooping a little more interesting in my games.

As I sit here drinking Hot Chocolate from my Traveller Mug (Thanks TravellerCon/USA) my thoughts turn to High Gravity and Starships. On page 79 of the Starship Operators Manual, the blue box states, "If the ship only has 1G of thrust, avoid landing on worlds with Size code B or...

If the Fourth Frontier War was 1084, in my 1105 campaign that would be twenty-one years. So a character would have to have at least five terms.

I'm wondering how to using it when it comes up in Character Generation.

In Navy Character Generation you can get a promotion for heroism in battle if you roll a 12 on the Events. Same in Marines, also you have some Black OPs events. In the Army the same but can also battle Guerrillas and Rebels. You can also be assigned a peacekeeping role or be involved in a...
