    Officer Commission: What counts as the "first term"?

    I read it says first career term attempted in that specific career. Both conditions need to be true. CRB, pg 16 i) automatic entry into the military career the academy is tied to AND ii) so long as [the career chosen] is the first career attempted by the Traveller after graduation.

    Is "The Great Rift Book 2" and "Book 2: Reft" the same thing?

    They are different because the original 3 volume boxset is replaced with a newer 2 volume slipcase. This link might answer your question: https://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/threads/the-new-great-rift-is-here.125316/

    Returning to previous career?

    The question is not explicitly addressed in the CRB or TC. The direction of the rulebook appears to be always towards 'New Careers' and more (Heroic) 'excitement'. But it could depend on what the previous career was. These aspects may lead to a fair interpretation: 1) Changing Careers (pg 20)...

    Trade Schools and Trade Careers

    Not sure I got the Ranks and Benefits: why would an Artisan need to acquire Admin before anything else? Shouldn't need to go through Admin in order to work on Design or Craft. A more focussed presentation would be to say that a minimum Admin skill is considered a part of Profession, and then...

    Rules Clarification: Agent Programs (CSCp69)

    Thanks for asking except I'm not entirely sure what you missed here. IMTU or IYTU you can just make your own skills up and add them to the list. Writing up a JTAS article on new skills would be another way. ... That way new skills can get playtested, and possibly included in the official...

    Rules Clarification: Agent Programs (CSCp69)

    Yess, although I'm not sure using Electronics as a base speciality really frees up the discussion. The way you've implemented it suggests "Informatics might be a branch of Electronics, but there again it is not." Which is even more than confusing. Better to think of Informatics as the root of...

    Rules Clarification: Agent Programs (CSCp69)

    At the earliest Tech Levels (TL6 - 7) societies, Electronics Researcher skill would have been the only way of operating a computer. Then there was stuff like high-level programming languages, and Computer Literacy as an Admin specialisation happened. Also Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing...

    Core Rules book - wished it removed Psionics and added missing Pre-Career and Aliens

    Humans of the Far Future are a potential psionic race? The humans races book is the Core Rulebook, so no need to change anything.

    Bella's Forum Thread

    My browser has 100+ tabs open at any one time. To cope, the browser sends unused tabs to sleep. If a tab is asleep when I close the browser, the next time I open the browser, then the favicon has disappeared. If I open a sleeping tab with missing favicon, and refresh the page, then the favicon...

    Pioneer vs Traveller

    Traveller = Far Future sci-fi set centuries ahead. vs Pioneer = Near Future sci-fi set decades ahead. Some gamers want to play a setting where the Universe hasn't been explored, and mysteries and technical challenges await them.

    Solomani are missing Uplifted species

    Can mainly think of animal characters that appear in children's fiction, mythology and animation. Could adapt them so they become a race in their own right. These sources show how easy it is to give an animal an extra-ordinary sentient character and behaviour. Pig - Snowball and Napoleon from...

    Dependencies between Traveller core books

    The dependency on the Merc Box Set is already listed on the Specialist Forces product page. It's mentioned right at the bottom, just above the GPSR General Information statement. It even includes a link to the box set if you hover the mouse in the right position.

    Fanatical Bundles

    I bought the Traveller fiction bundle last week and I can safely say, based upon that purchase, that I received all PDF/EPub/Kindle formats as part of the purchase (even though the Fanatical Ad page just says PDF.) What was weird was the DriveThruRPG "redeem" purchase. Clicking on the Fanatical...

    District 268 research station

    Just thinking laterally - could the one research station have moved from Judice to Mille Falcs, and thus appear in two different places on two different maps?

    WBH extended profiles for Spinward Marches

    I believe the UWP system's data on Traveller Map and Traveller Wiki are all generated by T5 rules. While I see Mongoose credits on those sites, I don't see the WBH in any of the credits, at all.
