Yes, I did this for my OTU. Need to fiddle the time line a bit and OFC replace stutterwarp with regular jump drives, but the setting and 2300AD aliens are just too good to ignore.

The bomb example is fun to read, but something about it bothers me. When the ex-marine suddenly doesn't need Explosives skill because it makes for a better story, I start wondering why we bother with skills at all. It feels like we're edging toward "the rule of cool," which isn't necessarily...

Uff... I'll be glad when the Fifth Frontier War stuff is over. Zero interest.

Oooh, nice! Can we get confirmation about this?

Can confirm it's from the MGT2 version of 2300 AD.

Treat everything in the Field Guide as the insane fever dream of a group of rabid badgers. That should put you in the right mindset.

Great stuff on all the races. Are you filtering for only 'canon' races'?

Looting ancient ruins is never just looting. Caitlin O’Neill and Maltz stumble into a half-dead Sindalian palace-ship full of homicidal décor, forgotten wonders, and something called the Order of the Mantis who take fashion tips from nightmares and fight like theatre kids with knives. What...

It is good that you are experimenting with new mechanics. But Traveller already has a solid way to handle wealth through Social Standing. SOC quietly covers lifestyle, influence, and access without needing extra tracking. Adding a Wealth stat risks muddying things. It creates odd cases where...

I checked the prices for a Low Berth (not Emergency Low Berths) It was Cr50,000 in Classic Traveller Book 2 (Starships), T20 Traveller, and The New Era. Mongoose 1st Edition and Marc Miller’s Traveller (T4) both priced it at MCr0.05 (50,000 credits). Traveller5 listed it at MCr0.1 (100,000...

In 2300 AD (also using Traveller rules), ageing rolls start at age 50 rather than age 34 due to advanced technology.

I get that this might be a clever rules interpretation, but it doesn’t sit right with me. Traveller psionics were never meant to be instant-win buttons. Zhodani are unsettling because of what they represent - control, manipulation, cultural fear of mind invasion - not because they can bypass...

Love sarcastic space captains, cursed sheep, and catastrophic diplomacy? Tales from the Morrigan is now live, with all stories in one place. Gunships, misjumps, and very bad decisions await: https://soren-boye-petersen.itch.io/

"In the third act, the Travellers have acquired the tools to alter the fate of the Imperium and potentially all Charted Space." I hope I'm wrong but starting to worry Singularity is heading the same way as Hard Times, The Rebellion, and Virus. Bad ideas that “reshaped the setting” by breaking...
