    What real use are escape pods?

    Yes, that would be good where there is skilled personnel available, to pilot the emergency small craft. If you plan for a scenario where you cannot guarantee someone skilled to be available ... - then what?

    What real use are escape pods?

    Yes, I too was talking about space - or, at least the space where planetary gravity exists. While it might not be desirable, I was referring to episodes where the main ship lost control - either deliberately or by accident. Could be that the main m-drive malfunctioned, for example. Or, perhaps...

    What real use are escape pods?

    Isn't "uncontrollably sinking into a planet's atmosphere" a possibility? Okay, that's only analogous to sinking but the possibility exists, and that scenario is where escape pods should be a better option, IMO.

    Atmospheric Braking in "Cluster Truck"- am I misreading this?

    Not quite sure that is correct. "Effect" is detailed on page 61 of the Core Rulebook. It essentially is Effect = Dice Score + DMs - Target Number. It is important not to confuse 'dice score' with 'effect'.

    WBH Hydrographics for A-C atmospheres

    Page 102, Optional Rule: Exotic Liquids suggests that it is purely the referees choice which atmosphere/subtype code is used in determining the hydrographic code.

    National Science Fiction Day - January 2nd

    I'm on an email list that keeps me regularly updated with new fiction and movie releases. While it is not totally satisfactory, it is an exploration in the right direction for me.

    WBH Belt Bulk Calculation

    It is if they don't convert the D6 scores into D2 values, as instructed on page 4.

    How to make Traveller more popular with TTRPG players

    Gaming narrative can be like interactive storytelling. How convincing that becomes depends on how well the GM understands the mechanics of "storytelling." With interactive storytelling there is plot development, and there is also the opportunity for participants to interact with what is...

    What would you put in a Convention Guide?

    Show you understand your target audience and walk them through what they need to do, and what options are available to them. Give credit to the convention hosts and, if applicable, the sponsors.

    WBH Belt Bulk Calculation

    I suspect the "4+2" from the first example is 1D6 + 1D6, and the D6 digits haven't been converted into D2 numerals. I cannot see how those numbers could have been from an unmentioned DM. So, while the Belt Bulk formula provided is 2D2 - System Age DM + Composition DM, the actual formula used in...

    Question re: DTRPG and TAS
