Mindjammer already has an official Traveller conversion. Its adventures Blue, The City People, Dominion, or parts of The Far Havens could be easily used for Core (or Rim) Expedition campaigns...

Probably too late to the party, but Act 1 features a Suerrat in the first adventure, but no explaination what a Suerrat is, how they look like, or why there are insurrectionists among them. Yes, you can look it up at the wiki, but no, you shouldn't have to! (Introducing concepts without...

OK, I just have to ask once - what is the deal with Condottiere? I think I've never seen him post anything actually useful or on-topic, only rather random pictures and weird one-liners. I'm not a native speaker, so is it just a language thing that I don't get, or is he some kind of "court...

- The name Endrjunn Freighter is misspelled in the heading on p. 202.

Tachyon weapons are already officially written into the setting - see Yusote's Ship, Mysteries of the Ancients, p. 159 - it's equipped with a small tachyon cannon bay... :p

I'm still waiting for a reply - "Thick and fast," it ain't...

It's nearly a month since this post. What about an update?

As I said, I don't get it - why do you need canon in an rpg? What is the added value for me in Mongoose telling me what tech I can or can't use in my games? Charted Space is malleable enough to survive the inclusion or removal of all kinds of technical gadgets.

Funnily enough, this is a bad example because The Glorious Empire sourcebook does feature two ships equipped with ion weapons - the Eagle of Nom, a custom Drinaxi Harrier, and the Aslan Su'ikh-class interceptor! I know some of you people love ranting about this very topic, and maybe I'm just...

Why should they? I like to decide stuff like that for myself! There are, as mentioned above, arc-field dewclaws for Aslan, and the Hiver security robot from the Robot Handbook is also equipped with arc-field blades.

The youngest players in my two regular gaming groups (about a dozen people, all in all) are in their late thirties, the oldest in their late fifties. Myself, I'm 52. There is a monthly roleplay event at one of the public libraries here in Munich. Around 80 to 100 people of all ages are in...

Playing through Act One's The Virasin Complaint, a few comments / observations: - My players pointed out it was weird the clone pilgrims didn't recognize each other despite travelling together through two sectors. This made them nearly dismiss the idea that the first murder victim (Ziwal, in...

I'm into RPGs for about 35 years now, but I've discovered Traveller for myself only about three years ago. Of course, I've heard about it before, but for me, Traveller was always that RPG to do 50s- to 70s-era space opera - quaint, out of date and totally irrelevant. When I learned that...

Core Rulebook Update 2022, p. 173, under the header Impact: "If an attack roll for a missile salvo is successful, the target will sustain damage. Roll for damage as if for a single missile and deduct the target’s armour as normal but do not apply the Effect of the attack roll. Instead, any...

Maybe it's because I'm used to more narrative RPGs, but I think you're approaching the problem from the wrong direction. This isn't about a two-minute-reset out of the blue, it's a springboard for creating your own encounter. As you'd admited yourself, there can be unusual circumstances for...
