I'm new to DC, having just recently borrowed the book from my buddy's shelves-upon-shelves-of-RPGS. So...having never been exposed to the uderpinning rules and the setting, careers were an immediate concern for me. I counted near to 60 and some didn't seem to mesh well with the hybrid genre this...

This. My solution for FGU is to have 3 monitors without spanning enabled. I then just drag the left edge of the FGU window to the left so that the chat window is displayed on the left monitor. Then do the same for the right edge, just enough for the combat tracker to be displayed on the right...

I'm too late to the party on this, but am I right in assuming that this is world building from the perspective of, or about as close in as, a spacecraft in orbit? I ask because I've been running Walker heavy missions and are expanding it into a campaign. I'm interested in world building from the...

Will this have any impact on Virtual Table Top content - i.e. the Mongoose Traveller 1 and Mongoose Traveller 2 rulesets for Fantasy Grounds? Currently the ruleset is vaulted making it impossible for a Referee to write their own Extension to provide custom features to players. Some rulesets...

IMO the rules in MgT2E for vehicles and vehicle combat are more than decent as far as TTRPGs go. It's why I keep building my heavily Walker focused campaign for it. I play a lot of Battletech tabletop miniatures, and sometimes borrow things from Battletech Total Warfare and Alpha Strike for my...

This is terrific news. By ORC are you referring to Open RPG Creative license such as the one Paizo Publishing has? How would this effect those publishers that create different versions of the Cepheus Engine? Would they be able to create a CE edition based upon the 2022 update SRD and then retail...

Yep, I'm pleased with the contents of the 2 chronicles I bought and I'm pondering getting the rest. I haven't decided whether I'll acquire them one at a time over time, or plunge in deep with the $60 bundle. With the backlog of Traveller and other TTRPGs PDFs and books I have in my reading...

Thanks for the Tip. Luckily, for issues 2-4 the Far Frontiers article was 1st and it's possible to determine from the drivethru preview what subsectors were covered. I bought and found the polities I was interested in within Chronicles 3 & 4. Man are those early Traveller Chronicles editions...

Many thanks for the replies - the links and info are much appreciated. I had previously visited the Far Frontiers page on the Traveller wiki, but it's probably time to revisit. What I'm finding I need to know right now is the history of the rulership/leadership of the FF polities and their...

I just got the Spinward Extents and was wondering if there was ever a publication for any Traveller edition that covered the Far Frontiers Sector? I've been homebrewing a campaign for a while that's set in those Foreven subsectors that are adjacent to the Far Frontiers, The Beyond and Vanguard...

Ah OK, being new to the Traveller verse I wasn't aware of the background behind it in earlier books. As I said above, it doesn't bother me much and I doubt many, if any, of my players for my campaign will be familiar with the IRL Katanga. A bigger question is how much coverage the polities in...

I'm glad to see the Weltbund and anything associated with it tossed out. I have to ask though, why Katanga? All sorts of nasty stuff went down in the breakaway Republic of Katanga during the Congo Crisis of the early 1960s. Including the torture and execution of the Congo's democratically...

To the best of my knowledge, there's only official VTT support for Fantasy Grounds. However there's a fanmade customization for Foundry named TwodSix SF roleplaying. I've read it supports Cepheus Engine and Mongoose Traveller 1.0, but I'm not sure about 2.0. Unfortunately I don't have a link...

Thanks for all the info.

Many thanks for the reply InexorableTash. So political entities like the Trelyn Domain, Mapepire Cluster, Principality of Bruhkarr and Katanga Empire are in synch? I ask, because I've started a homebrew set in the 6 spinward-rimward subsectors of Foreven and was hoping to draw upon influences...
