That is interesting, all my books (and I own all the MGT2 books up to about last summer) have the Studio 2 Publishing logo on them and their head office (as per their website) is in Knoxville, TN. All the tracking came from the states for the shipments and your change from printing in the US...

I live in Canada and I normally purchase everything that Mongoose produces (yea, fan boy completionist, I own the moniker). But with all the current trade war actions, combined with the books being published in the US, are any actions being taken to redirect publishing from the US to other...

Most of the things I would love to use the ORC license for, is to be able to expand upon MGT2 and share it with friends/community without having to deal with lawyers. For example, I would love to recreate/rewrite the TNE character generation system to have careers based upon TL/Culture and that...

After the whole issue with Wizards, the OGL, etc., I thought I had read that Mongoose was going to migrate their materials to the ORC license. Is this happening? How far along has the work progressed? How will this affect TAS?

Death in character creation made character creation a solo game with its own risk/reward structure. I really enjoyed it. I think Mongoose should have it return.

Ok, this is an interesting subject so lets address each in kind The statement "Astrogation does not have much use" PreJump as a chained action for engineering (includes fleet and non fleet jumping) PostJump as a modifier for location (good idea btw) I use a 3d6 hour modifier in...

Thanks for the link, I may use that when I port some of my designs for T5 compatibility, but, I don't play T5 and only am interested in MGT2 material currently.

Propulsion is not based on %'s? Maneuver is all % Reaction is all % Jump is a mix of % and Fixed. (as per page 16 of highguard update) You want J2, M2? That is 5fixed dtons + 7% Power is a little more complicated, but, is 10% power required based on total volume. So, this needs working...

It would be interesting if the whole ship design paradigm were shifted. Ship design is currently based upon "pick hull" -->"try to fit items in hull to meet specifications." But, given that items are based upon "percentage based items" and "fixed sized items," You can select all your fixed...

They have been updating and putting out new files for download, regularly. If you purchase it now, you will be getting a version that was just released last week and has had significant updates/corrections/adjustments. This is probably driving the poor admins at Mongoose nuts (they put out a...

Hi Geir, It's a shame you did not take on density. My example I posted was just something I played with while on lunch and not intended as a final by any means, just a "perhaps". I have downloaded all objects in the sinbad database, out to a 1000pc radius of earth, mostly to get a...

Ok, I have been reading through the book for the third time, with the latest edits, and I am missing where I find the system density methods ie roll 3d6 Roll a <> or higher Effect Extra Galactic 18 -3 Rift 16 -2 Sparse 13 -1 Scattered 11 -- Standard 10 -- Dense 9 +1...

I can do the hex maps in Inkscape if you want. Yes icons/symbols for standard items. I can do them but it is best if they come from/are defined by an official source.

There are a few things that would be nice as downloadable supplements, i.e. not part of the book but as downloadable pdfs. Such as a flow chart for the procedure for each part of the system creation with referenced page numbers. Separate blank world forms for fixed hex size for world sizes S-F...

The last pdf we have is from July, which on the day of release had a series of changes discovered. There was even a change needed that Geir posted today. If someone does not want to wait, they have that version. If you gave someone the choice of a better edited version vs a rushed version...
