    Ship Design Philosophy

    Mostly gibberish, though there is data mixed in. (on Chrome 138.0.7204.101 anyway)

    High Guard hull points calculation

    The Spinward Extents book was written in 2020, long (well, long-ish) before the HG 2022 update came out. So all of the designs in there probably need a redo.

    Travellers Needed! Central Supply Catalogue Updates

    Those range (and sometimes damage) inconsistences were things I ran into with the Vehicle Handbook, so for the bigger weapons, Bella, please check against that new document, not the CSC (which I also did, but at the time I carried them forward from the old one mostly verbatim). Or anyway, if...

    Personal Meson Communicators

    Also, make sure you place them on a level surface so the mesons don't fall out.

    [Mongoose's Office Game] Character Diaries

    One thing Traveller taught me is that if you're getting shot at, you've already screwed up (sorry, too soon?) Fortunately I started with Melee, not D&D, so I already expected combat to be dangerous (e.g., not wading through the Kobold horde).

    Travellers Needed! Central Supply Catalogue Updates

    And I can help with both, including my own inconsistences...

    Ship Design Philosophy

    I can't believe I watched the whole thing. It's like someone spiked my coffee with substances only legal in controlled medical trials... What's with the damsel eating yarn monster? Now I have to go look at more of these... AI inspiration for interesting planetary environments and creatures...

    Random Creature Generator

    There was a 1e supplement... I'm 87.33333% sure, but if so I've misplaced it. And then there is Supplement 2 from Classic Traveller. In both cases (one, perhaps part of some odd fever dream?) it is a listing of encounter tables based on world and terrain types. Which is probably not how to do a...

    Change to TAS Conditions - Use of AI

    As generally a technophile, futurist, whatever, I now find that I should not declare an opinion on this as I may be rounded up after the former of these things fails (because some fool storming the castle left his cell phone on).

    Interview with Zeno founder on RTGs and potential Stirling versions of it

    Rather than tagging on to a tangent of another thread, I'll just post the link here: This interview talks a lot about RTGs, different radioactive sources, and applying a Stirling (spelled it write right this time) engine to gain x5 efficiency over a thermal coupler. The Sterling discussion is...

    The new Great Rift slipcase - now in stock and shipping!

    You get three two-sided maps, so if you have the old and the new, you can reverse one set and make a giant map (well, if you have a giant room without giant... clutter things.) Plus, instead of that funky system map, you get one big map of the 4x4 sector region (Mega-Sector?) of the Great Rift:

    Why is Aging worse in Traveller than in 2300 AD?

    Fight? I have people for that.

    UWP Tech Level?

    Which also means they need to import an iPhone network, a source for apps and updates, etc. And that's where it breaks down (literally). You can have your gadget, but there's a whole world wide (system wide) infrastructure that needs to be there to support it. And your meson comm isn't going to...

    UWP Tech Level?

    That's not at all what my logic dictates, though it may be the way you're interpreting it. What it tells me is that there are some limitations to the amount of tech that can be support by trade in both theory (capacity) and practice (neglect or indifference). Some fodder for developing a...

    UWP Tech Level?

    They are taken from that, but not Errata corrected AFAICT (as far as I can tell... oh, why use words when letter can do), It seems to have the procedure for First Survey that was literally broken (as in GOV=LL) and it doesn't looks like annoy overlay any lore over the poorly, random generated...
