I would be interested. I am a fan of Science Fantasy settings, and in addition to the various game settings featuring science and magic in the same setting (Aside from ShadowRun, Most of which are Dark Horror/ Millennial Apocalypse type games), I have picked up the Thieves World Boxed Set for...

CT allowed a +/- 10% on tonnage when making Deckplans. Greylond is correct, The Corsair was 400 tons, If I recall correctly acording to Sup 4.

I use a throwback to CT for my skill caps. Your character may not have more skill levels, not counting 0 level skills, than the sum of his Int and Edu. When advancing a skill once your capped, your least used skill is reduced by one (to a minimum of level 0) when you advance a skill. I cap...

I don't use the 3I in my games, I do however use the 1248 setting. This is primarily due to the fact that in the 1248 setting, all the stuff for the 3I is usable, but as far as future timeline and events, well, that's all up to me. ~Rich

While looking over the Traveller Wiki, and going through the TAS news entries there, I discovered that some wonderful human being has gone through and changed the entries for the rebelion era so that they read that "Empress" Ciencia survived the 132-1116 assinations, and modified most of the...

I'd say that as its not been cleared by the proofreaders, its one for the ref to clear up. Alternately, it could be "C" for "Corsair Base", but thats up to you.

Actually, PE while written for use in the OTU had little to do with the 3I, save to mention that it was out there and was a possible starting location for your stake when starting your own empire. In no case were you ever playing an Imperial Noble Family, unless you were a dispossessed Imperial...

LOL 20 years overdue? I'm willing to bet its a port over of Mark Millers T4 Pocket Empires rules.

A series of "modern", or in Traveller terms, TL7 careers, done as if for a game set on current modern day on Earth.

Character development and growth are the heart and core of good story-telling in both print and on screen. As Traveller is in essence the story of the PCs, why shouldnt there be rules for advancement in play? They dont have to be easy, but they should allow for the learning of new skills, and...

Hehe, did you remember to add your effect level to your damage as well? :twisted: In my last game a PC managed to KO a guard in one hit after rolling box-cars for a total effect of 5. (I use the optional rule:Knockout Blow.) It was the start of an EPIC fight in which two PCs managed to...

Found armor points per 1% of M^3 charts in the vehicle books, covering Wood/organics to bonded superdense. I suppose with a bit of work, they would do what your asking for. Hope this helps.

To all of you at Mongoose Publishing, Though its a tad early, thank you for all your good work this year and Happy Holidays! Keep up the good work! Richard Ricker aka Cryton

Love it! How much time did it take to assemble? And are you going to do drop in trays for the upper deck crawl-ways or lower cargo area?

Happy birthday to the man who created a game that we all love and enjoy! Happy Birthday Marc!
