Sad to have missed this, but glad to see late pledges available. Strong Coriolis vibes with this (even the layout examples) and that's not a bad thing. However, try as I might, I couldn't find the info about where the books are printed and sent from. I can't post on the KS page without pledging...

This is beyond fantastic! Abso-freaking-lutely marvelous! Please, keep on developing it. I've been dreaming about a program like this for years. Now I'm able to use it to do the dirty work (transit calculations etc.) easily and with a simple interface for my grittier Traveller game with HEPlaR...

Remind me, please. The two Invasion books and the supplemental adventure ("Relief of NK") are only going to be released separate and there is not going to be a print bundle of them - or dare I say, an Invasion slipcase/box?

Sorry, but have to comment the cover art (which is subjective, of course). That's one sorry looking Kafer on the cover! A far cry from the scary and weird Kafers of the old 2300AD art by Steve Venters and AC Farley (and others I forget now). Just compare this individual to the ones on the cover...

I have several POD books from DriveThruRPG and Lulu, and while the quality is okay and fine, I would *not* say it is equal to a regular printed book. The B/W stuff fares better, but e.g. my 'Legend of Five Rings: Great Clans' POD book, even with the premium color option from DTRPG, is not nearly...

Noticed a small bug under the Psionics tab. Telepathy is missing its 'Powers' button. If you hover over the blank space where it should be, the mouse cursor changes to indicate there is a button there, and you can open the powers section by clicking that invisible button, but of course it...

Thank you, Coryphon, for your continued, excellent work on the sheet. I noticed a bug on the new sheet. If you choose to roll with a Boon or Bane from the toggle at the top, the sheet skips the 'Ask for difficulty" step, even if it is checked to be on. The roll will skip to the modifier prompt...

Either I am missing something obvious or there is no way to tell what the page count of a book is from its store page. At least with Traveller books, haven't gone through the other lines. I haven't found a way to see how big the book in question is, page-wise, without going to DrivethruRPG or...

My point about TNE becoming 'Twilight: 2000 - In Space' was more about how it looked to me and, I'd argue, to many others too. Sure, once you read more about what TNE actually was, you could see there was more variation to the setting, but without delving deeper, the first thing you caught was...

What I don't understand is the need for these setting altering (or shattering) meta-plots in the first place. What is the perceived advantage of building a setting, in which many players like to play in, and then setting it on fire, then warping it completely out of shape, and last hitting it...

The OP had to be trolling. Or drunk posting. Probably both. Sheesh!

What's really disheartening, is that looking at the release schedule page, only Invasion is listed there for 2300AD. Nothing else. Is there nothing really in the writing stages even? So, it could easily be a year before we see anything (in print) for 2300AD, including Invasion. I'm sorry to say...

While it's true that any game needs new blood to survive, no one born after 2000 is going to visit a web forum. Way too archaic to them. So the player demographic in here might be a bit skewed with only us old geezers (and geezerettes). The younger whippersnappers use those newfangled Twisters...

I am no wizard of probability, but with that system isn't a success (Total Truth result) harder to achieve than if the task weren't Uncertain? I mean you need two successes to get the Total Truth result instead of one. The Some Truth result isn't a full success, in how I interpret that, but only...

Yes, I can't remember which Arthur C. Clarke novel it was in, but there was a line (when the controls were mostly touch panels etc.) that the emergency controls were tactile switches and buttons. Namely, in an emergency, nothing beats a big red press this button.
