While I am here, let me reiterate, please look at the Kobold Press model for VTT's. Buy the VTT Module (from their website, not from FG), get the PDF for half price. As a referee, it encourages me to buy more from them, which I hope translates into more profit for them.

As my mother ex law from Dublin would say Great Minds think alike... and Fools seldom differ. Maybe it's a UK joke as well, but as a Yank, I thought it was funny, never having heard the caveat. I appreciate the business perspective, but also consider how this could affect your VTT future...

An homage to the LBBs with the MGT2e rules: The BBBs Bigger Black Books, say 8.5x11, 144 pages in paperback? A more portable version of the dead trees versions many of us are fond of. 1) strip out the artwork, 2) compile the extant MGT2e rules from all of the currently published materials in a...

I think a better analogy might be working for a corporation. There are good managers and bad managers, and as long as said manager produces the results that the corporation demands they are left to their own devices. Represses the population? Check. Overzealous use of punishment? Check. 98%...

I would postulate there's a generally accepted rule for approaching a planetary body - inbound traffic below the equator, outbound above the equator, once you're within 100 diameters. Put the designated traffic routes there, where orbital control manages traffic in systems with sufficient...

Thanks V. That's what I missed. If MV Party Girl makes a run from a missile salvo, she can add maybe one or two extra rounds before the salvo gets to medium range (depending on her M Drive rating - The MV PartyGirl class often have a fast drive: M5 or M6) Missile Launch: +10 Ship: -6 (still...

Thank You V, your response and writing this is helping me answer my own questions. Let me know if I am missing something. PD SOFTWARE is not needed to run PD Batteries, so PD Batteries cannot be extended to close or short range using the PD SOFTWARE. PD SOFTWARE is a seperate beast that...

Thanks as always AD! Any thoughts on the logic behind not letting three ships EW the same salvo in one round? I sort of understand letting one ship EW a salvo just once. Even though with a dozen sensor operators, the same ship could EW a dozen different salvos, just not the same one twice.

Am I reading the rules correctly, all Point Defence Hardware (lasers and PD batteries) are REACTIONS. You can't "attack" missiles with lasers or PD Batteries. Point Defence allows the defender a REACTION roll to reduce the number of incoming threats before the missile salvo rolls attacks...

I'm working on ship design, and wondering how many salvos do you think would be appropriate for a 1,000T patrol craft or escort ship? What about for a 4,000T fleet escort or a 20,000T "Cruiser"? Primarily interested in your thoughts about warships that are designed to actively engage an...

I know I've seen that list. Book / Page Citation please?

Has anyone calculated the d100 jump point for Gas Giants? I don't need exact numbers, I'm playing science FICTION not SCIENCE fiction.

For Thor! Seth Sorkowski OSR - not Traveller

Thanks - looking forward to chatting with you again.

Are most Travellers arriving late Friday afternoon? I chose 1 pm Friday to run an adventure and had zero pre_registrations. Is it bad timing, a bad synopsis, a boring premise, or do people not pre-register? Any feedback welcome...
