Groovy, that makes a lot more sense than the as printed part. I've also managed to answer my own question about hiver translators, but still need a decent picture of some sort that might spark a players interest.

I'll agree with some of the others and say you perhaps are just out of the loop on pricing in the industry right now. It's hard to get a good GM screen for under 20 bucks, and a lot of pre canned adventures fall into the 15 to 25 bucks range. So, my reaction to the pricing on the map packs was...

If this stuff has already been asked or discussed before, my apologies. I did some searching and couldn't find anything on most of this, especially the 1d6-5% part. Okay so I'm slowly coaxing my group to take up Traveller as our next game once our current campaigns reach hiatus time, but...

Possibly opening up a very limited jump window through which pulses of light are sent and that are received by a properly synchronized receiver that forms its own window at the same time? I've been mulling over the idea of converting the FTL communication relays of the Alternity Star drive...

Thank you very much that pretty much clarified all my questions about Character generation. Not to mention made it easier to qualify for the careers in the book. :)

Yeah, the editing issues with aslan really have put me off adding further traveller books for now. Entire pages missing is...annoying in a forty dollar hardcover. I'm also a bit unsure on how territory is calculated and how the rite of passage works out. Does my ancestral territory get added...

I know. THat's why I used them as an example of where a landmate type mech fits in. They're not much bigger than the armored suits of battledress fame, though they're bulkier and most of the limb strength is mechanical. Really you'd just add a few more points of armor, and replace the strenght...

Yeah for supersized mechs you'd be better off with games that deal with almost as much fantasy as science fiction. Something like Core command if you have it would love giant skyscraper sized space suits with lazors. Or, dark heresy if you also want your mechs and pilots to be worshipped by...

After reading the Aslan book I had an idea on how to integrate them. In the Battles of the Twenty Third Century RPG there was a race of expansionist warrior types who made wide use of slave and or low caste labor. The problem was that they didn't have enough people to oversee their conquered...

Well I've eyed Traveller for the better part of twenty years, but you can thank the cover art for Aslan in getting me to finally pick up some of the books. Well that, and a lucky find of the core book in a used book store. But, despite all that I like in the book there are a few issues i have...
