    Another System Generator: As Above So Below

    Not just for aesthetics, but for realism as well. Real planets don't appear in units of 1,600 km. As the WBH allows for detailed diameters (down to the km) with the formulas on p. 70-71, it would be great to have a "proper" diameter used in them and especially shown, not just UWP Size value...

    Another System Generator: As Above So Below

    I would really like if the generator would expand the UWP data for the planet's size and hydrosphere, to generate them further to have a specific diameter (in km, not just in units of 1,600 km) and a specific hydrosphere % (accurate to ones, not just tens of %). So, instead of just UWP Size 6 it...

    Another System Generator: As Above So Below

    I was, yes, but seeing how useful your system generator is, I might just go ahead and use it now. Got some custom subsectors to generate. Oh, and two thumbs up for this generator, much appreciated!

    Any estimates when the v1.0 would be ready? No rush, just asking.

    Another System Generator: As Above So Below

    Now someone needs to plug in the Grand Tour from the Travellers' Digest and see how many jumps that would be.

    The Serpent campaign kickstarter live

    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...

    Star System Explorer (Open Source Web App)

    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...

    2300AD Invasion Part II - Out Now!

    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?

    (2300AD) The Invasion campaign is here!

    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...

    Great Rift Adventures 1-5 - On Pre-Order & PDF!

    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...

    Roll20 - Traveller 2e Official Character Sheet - Updates

    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...

    Roll20 - Traveller 2e Official Character Sheet - Updates

    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...

    Show page counts on store items

    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...

    The Incredible Rhylanor Grand Reverse

    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...

    The Incredible Rhylanor Grand Reverse

    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...
