You can add humour to your roleplay, the theatre has been doing this for centuries. What makes it funny is usually cultural interpretation. You can think of gaming as being a culture in it's own right, and make your own puns based upon player's gaming expectations and observations. Being totally...

I was referring to the publicised 2024 6E updates ... but I'm no marketing guy by any measure.

Why 5E and not 6E? Doesn't that make Traveller "... a science fiction roleplaying game [consigned to the far, far Past]"?

Meson Accelerator Vehicle Heavy Weapon in CSC is TL 15. High Guard 2024 gives: Small bay Meson gunTL 11pg 32 Medium bay Meson gunTL 12pg 33 Large bay Meson gunTL 13pg 33 so it looks like some sort of progression is intended.

I might have swapped Assistant and Apprentice round. Both are beginners ranks, however Apprentice includes part-time college training, which Assistant doesn't. So, Apprentice could be considered higher. There again, Assistant and Apprentice are "ranks" from different career paths. Assistant is...

I do agree with this statement but that does not contradict what I conveyed in my previous reply. I said that Locomotion Type is a base requirement. What I didn't emphasise is that "none" is already an option within the Robot Locomotion table on page 16. It gives your Robot Design an endurance...

Well, I wouldn't quite look at it quite like that because that would confuse me. I would say there are different terms and categories associated with the game, and the game rules places a unique emphasis on each term within a category. I would be inclined not to see it as two "sorts" of Agility...

Each Locomotion Type (pg 16) provides a movement rate and a base endurance. Some Locomotion types provide special traits and some Locomotion types have Locomotion Special Characteristics, beyond what is stated in the Table (page 17). The Agility Enhancements on page 22 provides an extra level...

Short Stories: Martian Chronicles (it's a 'fix-up' novel, and can be read as several short stories, or one continuous theme.)

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.

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/

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)...
