The art in this new edition is really great. Well done to the art team...!

Thanks for the advice, guys. I've picked up a copy of Beltstrike and will probably adapt something from it for use in the upcoming game, sprinkling its campaign in as tolcreator suggests. But I will definitely be doing something along these lines you outline, Reynard, for a subsequent system.

Greetings everyone! :) Kingside_Bishop here... I have introduced some old high school buddies to Traveller, and we've started playing a regular game via Skype and Roll20. I'm the referee. So far they're liking it, but we've only gone through chargen and some light roleplay. Unfortunately, they...

What would the Imperium's ship preface abbreviation be? You know, like USS for United States Ship, or HMS for Her Majesty's Ship. What would it be in the Third Imperium? Has anyone come across a reference to this?

Hello! :) I am preparing to run a Roll20/Skype game with some IRL friends from many moons ago. As part of my preparation for this I have created a couple of Google Docs I thought I'd share with everyone: a very simple character sheet, and a chargen record to aid me in walking my friends through...

Greetings everyone! My PbP Pirates of Drinax game has had some casualties, and I am now looking for three new players. The game is still young! If you're interested, please find the recruitment thread here...

Hello everyone. I'm back with another quick query for the community. :) A player in my PbP game recently raised the question: "Are we using the range table from High Guard?" I am a new GM, and had missed this table (HG page 73) on my skim of the book. I am all for using the most up to date...

Awesome, really been looking forward to this read. I'm really looking forward to when the group gets around to these excellent adventures as well, guys. :) it was this campaign that really pushed me into wanting to referee the game.

Lol, that is the question I'm asking very succinctly put! Funny that you, the ship's engineer and the man rolling the dice, are the only that seems to be arguing for what is obviously the most dangerous way to interpret the rule! Anyway... I think I agree with CosmicGamer's interpretation: When...

Hello, I have a question for the experienced players here. What happens when a character fails the divert energy roll when jumping? The way I see it two things could happen: A) The jump drive does not function and the engineer can try the divert energy roll again, or B) The jump drive...

Indeed, and the charts can often be badly out of date as is the case with Drinax itself... Plenty of reasons to go with then, I was just wondering if there was something in the map I was missing.

Thanks for the input, everyone. :) And thanks to Ieqo for not rereading the adventures lol! It seems the consensus is there there is no good (ie confirmable) reason for the trade route to avoid Exe, unless it's that there is insufficient population to support good trade -- which isn't too valid...

Hello, I am refereeing an online game of the Pirates of Drinax (hello to any of my players out there! :D), and have been reading up on everything and have just a few quick questions. One thing I've been wondering about for a long time is why the Hierate/Imperium trade route bypasses the Exe...

@dragoner: Glad to hear it! :D @Reynard: Try checking your junk mail folder, my registration confirmation got stuck there, and pease ask questions on The Tangled Web. The game will be running there, and that's where the setup thread is. I think Traveller is particularly well suited to PbP! :)...
