Here is an extended contents for the Mongoose 1st Edition "Starports" book I did a couple of years ago... In particular, it lists the sample starports provided by the book. I'd also consider reading "Bu and Embla's Guide to Starports of the Marches". I wish it was available in hard copy.

Within the Third Imperium, Starports are Imperial Territory (managed by the (Imperial) Starport Authority - the SPA). Because of this, you can easily have a low tech world with a Starport with a higher TL than the planet it is on / in orbit of. See the Mongoose 1st Edition book, "Starports".

Is it time to use page-independent references, yet? Things like: 1. Introduction. 1.1 The Third Imperium. 1.2 Players and Travellers etc...

I wonder who the author(s) are. I wonder what the three books will contain. Is this a Cyberpunk trilogy?

On Debian or Ubuntu systems (and others), there is a utility called "pdfposter" which I believe was the tool I used to process the Spinward Marches PDF file and split it up into chunks suitable for printing on an A3 printer and then joining together. I've done this for both the Spinward Marches...

I suppose I could add references to "Behind The Claw" as an extra for the expanded table of contents. Any other MgT 2e sources I should consider?

Last week I ran a Traveller trading session in the Sword Worlds. Mongoose' "Sword Worlds" book pretty much manages to be a sub-sector book with a bit of overlap here and there. I found it to be very useful and so here is an extended contents of the book :) I used quite a few Mongoose books for...

Mongoose have got in touch about JTAS indexes. There will be an official downloadable JTAS index, by Mongoose: "I'm currently working finishing a JTAS index booklet that will be a free download once the third addition to JTAS is released. I'm waiting on two pieces of artwork for the final...

After the UK's dalliance with Populism - Brexit, Liz Truss, and more, I thought that the rest of the world would have learnt from our mistakes.

Consulting the Traveller Core Rulebook's chapter on Skills, I'd suggest the Electronics skill. Electronics This skill is used to operate electronic devices such as computers and ship-board systems. Higher levels represent the ability to repair and create electronic devices and systems. There...

Here is my first attempt at an index for Volumes 7-12 of the Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society. For completeness, I include my previous index of volumes 1-6.

In the Central Supply Catalogue there is the "Personal Trainer" which is skill-specific software which gives you DM+1 to checks to gain or improve skills.

When preparing for a future gaming session, I wanted to include a bit of trading. But I use the 2016 edition of the Core Rulebook (aka CRB) and felt that the tables were scattered over the pages of the Trade chapter and I wanted to be able to look things up at-a-glance. So I came up with the...

I can't find a "Liaison" skill in the CRB 2016. There is a "Diplomat" skill, though.
