Hello Folks, How many of you have, as GM, dutifully generated characters along side of your players, and followed the rules as posted? OK, those of you who were GMs or Players who have loved the concept of Ship Shares - can put your hands down. Now lets see the show of hands regarding "how...

Just a question: how might other worlds react to the news that a whole world was "scrubbed"? Bear in mind, that the moot participants are Imperial nobility, not world government representatives. So, how exactly do world governments interact with the Imperial government?

Using rules as written means that a derelict found after zero maintenance for ten years, can not ever be made operational in any meaningful way - or am I missing something here?

Page 145 of Core 2nd edition rule book (ie, not the updated rules) page 145. "If maintenance is skipped or skimped on, roll 2D each subsequent month, with a DM equal to the number of months skipped. On 8+, the ship suffers a critical hit. Roll 2D on the Poor Maintenance table and apply the...

Stop hoping. LOL - it WILL be useful, if nothing else, by having a library of task chains that help explain processes. As a newbie MgT user, I have to learn the ropes despite game mastering since 1978. All new (to me) systems require practice in running scenarios solo, so as to familiarize...

In My Traveller Universe, I use Scouts as a sort of good will monitoring system of low population worlds that are not really on the main routes for merchant activity. Their small cargo capacity limits them from handling high needs shipping, but their constant patrolling of the worlds where they...

Hi Folks, Something has me bugged in the back of my mind as I look at modifiers for certain actions. One that leaps out at me is the modifier involving "months past maintenance due date". My question is this: Shouldn't there be a cap on the maximum skill task penalty for lack of...

Hi Stargrove. Thank you. I nabbed it for use with my upcoming Virgin MgT campaign for Pirates of Drinax. Hal

There is a Mongoose publication titled "Starports" page 51 that discusses modules. Shipyard (small craft) for 100 dTons per week, Shipyard (Spacecraft) for 500 dTons pe week, Shipyard (Capital Ships) for 2000 dTons per week, Shipyard (Full Commercial) for 2000 dTons per week. Looking at...

If this helps... GURPS ROBOTS had rules for building robots and of course, battlesuits. But that isn't what I'm here to post. In real life, one cubic foot of flesh weighs 62 plus some odd change lbs. Digging into my outlook notes (yes, outlook has a note pad like area to store odds and ends...

For what it is worth - based not just on prior content, but also T5.10... Moot membership requires that the world have at minimum, an Imperial Noble assigned to it that votes at the Moot. Note that the world governments themselves do not vote at the moot itself, but the nobility of the world...

Continuing on a theme, regarding "shorthand for..." Do not go the route of assuming I mean to trivialize the United States roles during the War to End all wars (World War 1) and World War 2. The saying that history is written by the victors is very real, and everyone's history emphasizes their...

I just recently purchased a copy for Fantasy Grounds myself - largely because I've been active with the Facebook Community TRAVELLER RPG Talk. I'm more of a GURPS TRAVELLER type GM, but if I'm going to try and get people interested in trying to game via VTT software, then I'd best put my money...

I read a few of the responses in this thread, and as a so called "Yank" - I find it perhaps amusing that the whole point of the phrase was essentially "short hand" for describing a given mindset. Yes, "Yanks" who run their campaigns at home in "Yankland" will tend to ascribe to the culture they...
