if you could get the marauder character sheets that would be brilliant

Please could you put the old resources such as character sheets back on your site for games such as starship troopers. There was some really good stuff there such as the character sheets for marauder drivers. Starship troopers is my main concern because it is what we are playing and have been...

I hate this magazine feel Softcover thing. If all the supplements were Hardcover I would have to buy them for the joy of ownership. ............ !!! which would cost lots .... I quite like softcovers.

You can buy D3's at Conventions and on Ebay.

This will really strengthen the game. As a lover of CT I defy anyone to run a 3 session scenario using Traveller 4.5 (Mongoose Traveller) then return to the CT system.

I play Traveller. Oh wow!! Thats so cool. Which version? Uh.... (I do agree that Mongoose are doing sterling and exciting work, quite reminiscent of 79/80 when releases came at a furious rate, ah those were the days).

44 years by the calender. 1978 Classic black box - 1984 Rejoined in 2006 with T20. Now very impressed with Mongoose Traveller but I HATE THE NAME. I PLAY MONGOOSE TRAVELLER!!!!!!!!! Why not call it T4.5? Hmmmm, I feel my self respect returning. Well, Hi there (dusts fluff off dinner...

I have always found that patron encounters combined with a thorough world background (maps, politics, geography, religion and history but most importantly good city maps) can create the best dynamic, Player driven Traveller games. Lacking such support however Patrons tend to become more...

I don't think a poor precedent is being set. If I understand the Core Rulebook Characters get all their Service Skills at level 0 in addition to their usual skill rolls during their first term in any Career. It seems to me that level 1 skill represents a period of extended study (eg a diploma)...

Hi All. The official reply from Mongoose is that it is unlikely that they will publish the Combat System. The suggestion that it could be simplified seems not to be a factor. Thanks for following this Thread. To summarise: if you need a Mongoose Traveller Tactical Combat System download...

44 years old. Played Traveller from 1978 - 84. Played T20 from 2005-7 Bought mongoose Traveller 2008. Have Fun.

You obviously miss nothing. I obviously do. Thanks for reading all this. I'm modifying the 3.2 document (combat rules only) to send to Mongoose and suggest inclusion in Signs and Portents following (or for) some playtesting. As a late arrival here I am getting the bad feeling that the 3.2...

If Mongoose were concerned about the complexity of the 3.7 Combat System it is unlikely their generic (or Universal) system will use it. This leaves room for a Traveller specific supplement which I find a very attractive idea. To fold the (simplified) 3.7 combat rules into the ruleset as an...

A drop of two points loses a turn, possibly of firing. Quite a cost for the dodge modifier. One point is more palatable to the player..but one point dodges can accumulate over a turn.

My son is a Serenity fan. He tried to recreate Serenity type play using Serenity rules for his friends. This met with good initial success but the Background was soon limiting, perhaps in the same way Wild west rpg's don't run for long - range war, heist, rob train, protect wagon train, rob...
