In this week's session, the focus was entirely on the characters who went to Pandora with the goal of stealing from the Martin II. At first, all went smoothly, with no misjumps: the hijacked ship arrived in the system fairly soon after the party with their two ships, and the jump flash was...

And that's it fully backed to the original target, too.

Well, they explicitly referred to the patrons and encounters, so that will be the help with machinery/promptly knocked on head by oghman raiders thing.

Borite is also where the Chamax and Krrsh episode of Honour Among Thieves occurs. Also part of Theory of Everything.

This is why I don't do marketing.

For clarity, I think that he means this: So it does state explicitly that it's not AI art, making that element irrelevant.

Another Traveller kickstarter launched, today: The Serpent. It's written by Kevin Hassall and is being being published under the Traveller Compatible 3rd party license: hopefully we see more of these. I quite fancy the unusual cultural choice of basing the campaign in Persian and Arabic...

Small one, but p18 "Rockets thrusters (see page 52) can be Responsive..." should probably either be "Rocket thrusters" or "Rockets' thrusters". A larger thing, but it may be just me being obtuse: on page 69 the table of cutting tools has a "cut rate" column, but I'm struggling to find what the...

@Vormaerin is right, I'm sure: adding a computer/3 in would exceed the capabilities of both the waferjack and the neural link. And his argument against option 2 (currently typo-ed to say #3, but we know what he means) is very compelling, since it would need to explicitly contradict the...

I am a weak man with no self control and have therefore immediately purchased this. Edit: it's nice to see some weel-kent* names in the credits: *Translations from Scots are available on request.

Venus Good point about the sparsity of water vapour. I think Venus would count as B or C: Corrosive or even Insidious judging by the fun the Russians had keeping their Venera landers alive. It is mainly CO2 but the clouds are predominantly H2SO4. You get fun stuff like HCl and HFl in small...

That makes me furrow my brow a bit, too: a dense (8) atmosphere won't be likely to have hydrogen floating about, while atmosphere 9 might (in the form of hydrocarbon pollutants) but presumably won't usually, given the wide variety of what counts as tainted: dust, bacteria, high CO2 content etc...

Yep, I thought it was actually quite a funny (and obvious!) joke. The text does explain the joke.

Sure, that satisfies the second option of the criteria Rinku proposed, so it's Traveller by his measures, and I would tend to agree. I don't really see the problem.

He says that "most of the time" Traveller versions have 2 or 3 of them in play, which implies that only one is sufficient. He explicitly says that to be "Traveller" a game does not need all three, or even two, of his criteria. I'd agree with him that a game that had none of the three isn't...
