These are some pretty interesting images. The one that has always defined the basic look of an ATV to me is from the cover of an old Star Frontiers module: Variety is cool though, different manufacturers are going to give PCs different models to choose from.

At first thought, this was my reaction. Oh god, anime mecha invading my traveller! Bah! After thinking about it though, I've often lamented other editions of the game for not doing much beyond rehashing and converting the material that came before. By the time they really get to doing anything...

I'd hit google and check out the myriad traveller fan sites out there. There's tons of material out there, some of it close to the official traveller settings, some of it wildly divergent. Two good, and easy to browse, sites to get started with are: http://www.freelancetraveller.com/ and...

For the record, the file is still there, just not linked publicly anywhere I can find. I downloaded it tonight from an old link I had saved. Forget to transfer my original copy over to the new laptop.

I hear Paizo is doing something with their Pathfinder RPG and setting, through a company headed by Paizo freelancer Nick Logue. Probably trying to capture the organized play campaign fanbase that isn't planning to go over to 4th Edition D&D and Living Forgotten Realms. As for "living...

I voted Vargr. I will probably pick up any alien supplement type books that come along, but I feel that the Vargr are the most playable of the major alien races, in terms of PCs. The others are just too alien for my liking, I usually use them as NPCs.

On the other hand, I feel that maintaining at least some of the classic look and feel of Traveller products is important, it lets me adopt it without feeling like I'm adding yet another game to my collection. Also, the classic deckplan look makes it easy for the plans to be copied by hand to...
