    Drop Pods and Decoys?

    I have TNE main book and some issues of Challenge Magazine and can't find it in those. Any suggestions?

    Drop Pods and Decoys?

    Fuzion, most likely. I post mostly at RPG.Net and a few times on RPGSite. Also on the Mekton mailing list and the Lightspeed mailing list.

    Drop Pods and Decoys?

    Since these PC's are Privateers at best, and a hair's breadth from being outright Pirates, they're not so concerned about the legality of a lot of their stuff. But if you think about it, this kind of defensive mechanism would be great for spoofing pirate attacks too, so one could make a case...

    Drop Pods and Decoys?

    Can anyone provide me with some costs and tonnages of things like military drop pods (a Player REALLY wants his ex-Marine to have some on their ship) and decoys (ala Crybabies in Firefly, the same player really has a hard-on for them)? Any suggestions or references would be appreciated.

    Jump Limits

    For Earth, the 100D limit is 1,275,610 km. The LaGrange points are located at 321,392 km. I would still make it very difficult. Also, is the 100D limit a function of the gravity of the nearest mass or some kind of hyperspace mass shadow? If it's a mass shadow or some other hand-wavery, then...

    Bric-a Brac of the Third Imperium

    One idea I used in my other sci-fi game is a cheap disposable emergency spacesuit. It's essentially a REALLY flimsy thin plastic suit. They come in thin square vaccuum sealed packages that are about the same size and look just like a tarp in a package at the outdoor store. You rip open the...

    Would the Imperium help the son of a deposed Duke?

    Well, I was thinking that his earlier youthful indiscretions (vis a vis messing about with some revolutionaries) got him banished by his father, the Duke. After a few years of wandering, he comes home and says "Sorry pop. I've learned my lesson. I'm truly penitent. Can I come back now?" Pop...

    Newbie Trav GM question: Where do you put your new planets?

    I KNOW what I CAN do. What I'm not hearing from everyone is what YOU do. Please phrase your response with.. "In my Traveller campaign, I..." And go from there.

    Newbie Trav GM question: Where do you put your new planets?

    The planet generator is great! So I'm just starting a new Traveller campaign, and I've never run Traveller before. I've got a big questions for the old hands.. Rolling up planets and systems and sectors sounds like fun, but as I look online and in various sourcebooks, the galaxy is filled with...

    What the Hell is "IRIS"?

    Some of the old Challenge Magazine Megatraveller adventures reference IRIS. I know it was introduced in issue 34 or thereabouts, but I don't have that issue. Can anyone tell me what IRIS is/was? It's obviously some sort of intelligence agency (Imperial Reconnaisance and Intelligence Service?)...

    The World's Largest Dungeon has killed my Conan game!

    I was never disappointed to be playing WLD. I WAS disappointed to NOT be playing Conan. :cry:
