It would be great to get a big gathering of Traveller fans there, now that BITS have moved the event to a good venue. I'm planning to attend and will run a game of T5.

Help me Utilitarian Star System Generator, you are my only hope... :LOL:

Apologies if this has already been covered, but wondered if there were any semi-automated tools to generate the superb detail of the World Builders, without having to create your own working sheet? Something that takes input parameters, and outputs results to a standard format that can then be...

I think your question is valid. Acknowledging the distinction between rules and setting, and that setting does not have to mean Charted Space, I still think a very short play primer would be useful. There is a fair amount of implied setting to the rules. So, it might include: What sort of...

A couple from me: High Guard for Worlds and Star Systems. Your Worldbuilders Handbook. With digital tools to support creation Digital support for creating deckplans (this might be a bit left field - but I know I'd be all over it!)

Bah shame, twas hoping that the dogfighting rules could be quietly removed to make space for things. Great that they've put the starship construction in and the book is looking really good on the previews I have seen. :)

Exciting to see another developing Traveller in the Foundry, and from scratch too! I agree, it would be great to see Mongoose provide, at some sort of cost, assets for Foundry. I went into Foundry for the one off cost of owning it, rather then going Pro for the Roll20 Subscription, linked with...

Hey Matt, are there a lot of mechanical changes coming? If there are to be key changes to mechanical effects, such as income amounts, or spacecraft weapon damage, will the new core rulebook be compatible with current?

Thanks Matt, and another note of thanks for opening this thread up to us. The posts here are absolute gold already and really useful as I move to run some more Traveller this year. It speaks of the modular nature of this great game that we can apply revisions and spring cleans whilst continuing...

Thanks for raising this. I've recently created some PCs for the North Star Convention and the ambiguity of this point has probably meant I have underskilled them. I'm going back to give them another roll. I'd probably give a skill on Commission too. Hopefully this will be clarified in the...

Hull Points put back on the Ship descriptions. Some more guidance on the Psion career. The assessment of Psi strength and attempts to gain powers is fine, but it isn't very clear how you gain 'skills and powers' if you take the career for a number of terms.

It's great to see the enthusiasm across a number of VTTs, united in our love of this great game. Happy to see more thoughts and observations! A good video conference and some online dice rollers are enough to get a game in (I recently dicovered that Chrome has a dice roller extension for Google...

I'm fairly new to Foundry VTT and, having taken the plunge, would like to play the current version of Traveller on there. At present there is a really excellent system for TwodSix SF roleplaying, using information based from Cepheus. It would be great to get official support for the VTT...

I'm planning to run some Traveller online, either on the Role or Foundry VTTs. Something I have noticed is that In between printings of the core rulebook, the Hull ratings for common starships have been removed. During playtest (all that time ago!), it was decided to include the Hull ratings in...

Raised this elsewhere. They are missing from the core book and it doesn't tell you how to calculate them anywhere either. This needs putting in pronto. Hopefully someone from Mongoose will confirm they are sorting it out?
