    VHB 2026 Errata

    At the risk of thrashing a dead horse, it is because there is no standardised house design system. Numbers for things are just assigned by authors on a That Looks About Right basis. As a military-oriented Traveller gamer, I've long looked at MGT books like CSC with a mixture of horror and...

    Imperial Battleships

    FFW boardgame actually gives you a reason for Cruisers to exist in the Traveller universe (as opposed to the 20th Century Terra context which most of the last few pages has been devoted to). You can load up a high-jump streamlined CRURON or three with some jump troops or Marines and skip off...

    Consular Envoy Errata

    In this case that isn't so. BOTH of these are from the Advanced character generation section (i.e. the Mercenary/High Guard type characters). There is a separate table on page 26 that I haven't snipped for the Basic character generation rolls. Which of these two is correct is pretty...

    Consular Envoy Errata

    Speaking of CT/Zhodani, which of these is correct? Page 34 OR Page 32

    Imperial Navy Question

    As a late addition to this thread, I had forgotten that Marc Miller himself gave some insight into the Imperial Navy in the first edition of TiffanyStar (a fanzine dedicated to MegaT). FWIW.

    Imperial Battleships

    To be fair, even in Adventure 1, the "battle cruiser' label was a joke.

    World Builders Handbook - is there anything actually useful in it?

    Indeed. Yet, it seems so obvious to me that this is what Mongoose should be doing itself. You still need to buy the book to know what the inputs are, and to interpret the results of the spreadsheet, so they're not going to lose out on sales.

    Fifth Frontier War: How's your war going?

    If you're a cheapskate and don't want to buy CT/Spinward Marches Campaign, you can read through the TNS messages under the Classic Traveller heading here (https://calormen.com/tns/) for 1107 thru 1110 and get a gist.

    FDM printing miniatures.

    0.2 nozzle of course. I also print 6mm scale vehicles!

    World Builders Handbook - is there anything actually useful in it?

    WBH is an implementation of exactly what I'd like to see in a universal design system for MGT - a book that is complemented by a computer program that does all the calculations for you so that a GM can quickly generate a weapon, vehicle or starship.

    Small scale musings

    As a military oriented Traveller player I have (since 1981!) had a great affection for Mercenary Tickets, such as are contained in the original CT Book 4 and in CT 76 Patrons. They are a nice, short setup for an adventure - often even if you don't have a mercenary outfit.
