Pretty bad faith to say I "keep coming back to a platform designed around d20" the very first time I mention it! I accept entirely that you believe that my beloved CoC somehow outranks D&D, and that you reject all the data that I have produced. I just ask that you produce any data of your own...

Oh hey, this should shut down the idea that CoC (which again, I love) is played by more people than D&D 5e (which, again, bores me): There are seven years of data here: https://wiki.roll20.net/Orr_Industry_Report If you think that CoC (which had 1/5th of the players on Roll20 during the...

I added my "I'm not an analyst" because the figures I saw suggested way over 50% of market share but I could not assess the expertise of the rating agencies since my analysis expertise is in the rather unrelated field of international shipping :ROFLMAO:. That's me being responsible and open in...

I'm not a market analyst but google agrees with me: As to which game system would be the best fit, maybe you're right, but there is already a whole range of no-levels, skill-based TTRPG systems in which you can play Traveller (they're mostly, but not all, called Traveller). This is about...

As a fan of the game since the 80s I sincerely wish that CoC was the most popular TTRPG in the world, but it simply and absolutely can't be. We know a lot about sales figures for TTRPGs over the last few decades, and even the period when D&D was allegedly knocked off the top spot by Pathfinder...

Sing, oh gamesmaster, of the rage of Achilles what has happened in your campaign so far! What have you and your players done?

I totally agree, and I’m optimistic on that front. When you read Shannon Applecline’s history of the game you see that the folks writing for Traveller at the time were struggling to find space for conflict and drama and wanted a server wipe, and kept escalating to try and achieve it (and...

Yeah I didn't have any of the "let's break the setting" stuff from MT like the assassination etc in my first run-through, nor will it happen in either of the two PoD campaigns I'm running now. I enjoyed Megatraveller a lot at the time, but for me it's a "what-if" timeline that diverges from...

Meanwhile, on the same page:

I've posted a few more updates on the party's progress since my last update here. Some were minor (their steward droid's version of events at the start of the Borderland Run, for instance - https://drinax.net/borderland-run-week-1-patricks-version/ ) but in the second session of the Borderland...

As we've discussed in other threads recently, people on this forum are not the target here: we already play Traveller. Some of us even play Traveller with other people. This is about bringing in players who currently play the TTRPG that, like it or not, has for years had a bigger market of...

WotC completely messed up their marketing and branding on the 2024 revision, but if you refer to it as 6E most people will be confused. The most common unofficial name for it in the last couple of years has been 5.5, followed by 5e 2024 Edition. I think the latter is what WotC want but they've...

Yes, they do. But in the announcement they said that they wanted Marc to continue working on T5 and Traveller fiction, and reaping all the gains from those for as long as he wants. After that, they said that they hoped that they would find someone else to pick up the work of maintaining and...

Funnily enough I backed their World's Largest Dungeon product a while back (despite not playing D&D these days), which has been progressing nicely, looks excellent in its production standards and is delivering on their goals, so I'm pretty relaxed about backing them on this as well.

Given that Mongoose own the T5 rights now, and that Mongoose announced this collaboration through email, twitter and discord that I saw, it seems unlikely that there will be any issue.
