The Luxury SRD is not the official RuneQuest SRD. Even though it contains all the material, it is ordered in the same way as the RuneQuest Deluxe Book and slightly edited. As always, if you make changes there is the chance for error. If you want to include stuff from the SRD into your book, you...

If there were any changes in the official srd's or if mongoose would release additional srd's, I would certainly update the Luxury SRD. The last time they didn't announce any changes, but someone was kind enough to inform me that something was missing in my version. So, if anyone knows of...

You can make excellent maps with a normal graphics program like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Gimp (free!). It has the disadvantage that you don't have the big libraries of map-elements, but you can find a lot of stuff on the net and you can use these programs for other things, too. You can find...

I must have overlooked the section 15 change when they updated v1.0 and only made a file comparison between v1.0 (revised) and v1.1 ... it's changed now. Since I only changed the layout of the srd, I wouldn't see it as a unique product that grants any copyrights or requires a name change (but I...

The pdf is now updated to v1.1 of the srd.

I didn't look into the details yet, but it looks like a good start to work on a conversion. An essential part of Traveller d100 are conversion guidelines for ships/vehicles and characters in the appendix, so that you can use Traveller-adventures and -sourcebooks without a lot of work.

Whatever. It's completely useless if you have the rulebook, anyway. Most RPGs have a free download of beginner rules to lure new players to the game. If Mongoose think that they can sell the stuff, good luck. If there are enough collectors who will buy anything, why not... It's nice if you...

I wanted to make a gm screen from the tables in the srd, but there was too much important stuff missing to make useful downloadable sheets. The only option would be to integrate the other tables, but leave the actual data empty. That way one could edit the tables by hand/pdf-editor or glue/copy...

Optane looks ok, but I have to switch to XeLaTeX to use ttf-fonts (or go through the painful process of installing ttf-fonts into pdfLaTeX). At the moment I don't want to do that - maybe in a future version if mongoose expands the srd with additional material.

I wasn't completely happy with the fonts in the document, so here is the new version with headings in a small caps, italic font (linux libertine). There aren't any other changes, decide for yourself if you want to download the new version. It's now possible to link to my shared folder if I am...

Sure, the stuff in the srd's is open, so mingling is not a problem. The problem is that the Traveller srd is not quite as complete. For example, you can't just copy the ships or careers. I have thought about a mix of Traveller and RuneQuest, too. Traveller works well, but a lot of people...

For everyone who prefers to read longer text in a pdf: http://www.mediafire.com/?kh1202vdomr

Good stuff, but it's a little hard to read such a long article in a forum (at least for me). If you don't mind, I can make a pdf-version of the contest entries available for download until the contest is over.

There was a new version of the original SRD, but I don't know if there were any changes except the declaration as open content... At first glance, I didn't see anything different, so there weren't any changes in my document. If you spot any changes, mail them to me or post them in this thread...

I uploaded it again, it should work now.
