I'd encourage you to stick with it. Those that actually play the game are pretty fun sorts. Our games generally featured a fair amount of alcohol, food and fun. Lots of guns too....slug throwers of course. Ignore the crazies here or on COTI. its fairly easy to figure who they are....just...

Bro, take a deep breath, chill...try the nose versus the mouth-breathing. Stuff down a nitro tablet or two...loosen the drawstring. In general...just calm down. I'm cool with the rules as they stand...kind of my point. You're the dude prancing about that wants to change and rewrite them...

Strikes me that I've yet to call someone else a "Troll" on multiple occasions whom I might disagree with...as have you. I recognize that self-awareness is a relatively rare trait, though. Regardless, when I read these debates I always question whether those who, essentially, want to run...

Very saddened to hear of his passing In 2014. He roomed with a friend of mine and myself at GenCon some years back - back in the Milwaukee days. He actually went out during the convention and had "CAT Fusion Power" baseball caps made for us right out of T2300. I most always put it on whenever...

There's a reason I seldom read anything Traveller related because of some of the types sci-fi RPGs tend to attract. At its core (at least in the case of the most querulous here) Traveller "fails" because the computers are just too d@mn big and somebody seems to feel the need to be able to...

"Klaxun" is their name as I recall.

Agreed. They have done an excellent job transferring the first book to the small screen so far.

I will be picking this up. I think it is the first stand alone product I can recall that takes place outside the French Arm. One interesting note having looked at the map of Liberty - the founders of Liberty must have originally been from Indianapolis, IN.

Actually my intent is to open up the Beta Aquilae Cluster (that Colin introduced in 2320) earlier via the American Arm. Should provide some great fun....and mystery. I like universes with some underlying ancient threat/mystery/enigma. B5 had the Shadows. I actually like the idea of the...

In my 2300 universe, I don't quibble too much about the current alignments in North America -its old news and too stifling. Living on Earth would be like a cyberpunk version of going through the TSA line of an airport every second of the day. I'll pass. I am more interested in the colonies...

Some of the Jerry Pournelle Co-dominium books offer some great ideas for this. The universes were technologically very similar except no aliens.

Bughunters was a neat little universe. The book also had very nice fold-out color near star map attached inside the back cover as well.

My condolences. Sounds like he was a wonderful father.

This looks to be a great campaign. Any news as to the release of the next episode?

I struggled with their "heads" and what they really looked like. The sourcebook cover threw me off a bit. They certainly did not feel "bug-like" (as in the "cockroach" explanation I recall for the name) or even like a crustacean. Frankly, someone could do a great service by doing a proper...
