Anyone know where you can get these, these days ? Silver fox/RAFM have shut and the link no longer works ? Thanks Martin

Two up front declarations - 1) I have not read all these posts - I think I have got the gist, but heh ? 2) I may be a dinosaur and I played Traveller pretty much from when it arrived in the UK. Bearing those declarations in mind - this thread, for me, has begun to resemble the old rules...

Thanks Ian - I'll give that a go ! Martin.

Hi Matthew, My group is just settiing up to play Deepnight Revelation, and one of the issues we have is sharing of info. For example we wanted a simple layout of the Deepnight Revelation Cruiser. There is a lovely 'poster' showing the arrangements of the decks, with...

The one I remember from back then is this one :- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Traveller Not sure how close to Traveller it is though Available from the likes of Amazon and ebay as second hand from around £4. Thanks Martin.

Hi, I appreciate you are looking at this as a ship for the party - but the alternative would be to use it as income. The Zho Scientist owns 25% - if the other owners are happy, this could be operated as a consortium with each of them receiving a proportion of the profits. Thus the Zho...

Thanks Matt !

Have to agree with vacc suit. I like zero-g too if I can get it. Also, like Admin, Comms is a good basic skill - there is nothing like trying to contact someone on a new world, and not finding your way around the technology or protocols ! Thanks Martin.

Hi Matt, for some reason I was looking back at the kickstarter and it mentioned a card deck as part of the original boxed set - "A deck of cards, covering Mission Briefings, Standing Orders, and Mission Roles." I presume this was just quick reference material of things that exists elsewhere in...

If you want to separate the players from their armour, another option is always through normal wear and tear ! By now the armour is getting a little old, it's been in a few firefights, taken damage etc. So, it starts to break down - it needs repair - but maybe the required spares aren't...

Hi, Scoundrel (book 6) added a specific security skill. Paraphrasing, this it covers all types of mechanical and electronic security measures. However, it specifically states that other skills are required to pick locks. For old style manual locks, you need Security and Mechanic. A...

With regard to 'just pressing a button and letting the tech do the work' reducing players actually problem solving, from my perspective technology (and many other things) are a double edged sword with both sides engaged in a sort of arms race. So, it may well be possible that there is a button...

Great - thanks ! Let me know what you need in terms of character gen and I'll start giving it some thought and play around with careers. Thanks Martin.

Hi, If you still need players I would be keen to join in. I've no players local to me so have been trying to get back into Mongoose Traveller through a solo campaign and have not done any PBeM before. If there is space, please let me know, and where to find details of how the play...
