The aliens in Traveller like you. Lithkind are a bit out there. And it takes a lot for me to say so. There should of course be a multi volume set about Hivers, preferably leather-bound, with silver page edges. I suppose it could be written in English, as opposed to Gurvin...

Recieved preorder of HG book hardcopy on Friday, Nov 21 in the US. This book has the Mercenary Table of contents. This book is satisfactory?

d66 seems normal to me. The Federation approves of this material. The alternate background tables show a excellent handling of character creation balance issues. The life events described are very well thought out. Giving players more options is never a bad thing, and the sophonts at Spica...

I play in a regular group that uses Skype alongside rptools maptools, in the US, and it is most enjoyable. Very close to the tabletop experience. Nz. This is cool. Are there a lot of Traveller fans in NZ?

I only glanced a few pages before having to save, to avoid being totally sucked in and drawn away from working. It looks awesome! Is it formatted to be a paperback sized book? How long have you been working on it?

I think we are discussing the pack and how to apply it. Specifically, what not to do, which is important before people start getting comitted to ideas or go on erroneous assumptions. I am very interested in checking out people's non-OTU efforts and products. It will be cool. As far as the...

I agree with the choice of Shadows. The adventure is a straightforward Sci fi progression, and suitable for any stage of character development. I had an old GM that used Shadows as the Great Mystery of the whole campaign. The Pyramids were on many worlds. I think Red Zones were ones with...

I'm not sure I understand the OTU issue. I can understand the publishers not wanting products coming out that upset the balance of the Traveller setting, or take it places where it shouldn't go, that makes sense. As a game buyer, I wouldn't pay a dime for someone's reinterpretation of a game...

What are some of the Concerns on doing the OTU right? And could not an "OTU Writer's Guide" be compiled pretty easily? Star Trek and the like have basic ground rules for outside writers to maintain a level of continuity.

I got my first Traveller set in 1978 at a very, very cool Hobby Shop in Newport, RI. I then got the Traveller Book in 82 at a Game Store in Rhode Island when it was released. Our first Traveller Referee, quite sadly, developed Macular Degeneration later on in life. We sometimes have reunion...

When is your target release date, Flynn?

I want to know too.

No other comments?

Be aware that I am finding that Armor and equipment can have a lot of notes, especially vacc suits and personal computers. Take two is going to refine the two sides (personal data and Material Items) and resolve some space issues. Does anyone have any font suggestions? Or is this classic...

Psi I was going to develop into a special 3"x5" "Psi Card" from an Institute, for the player that may want to keep it a secret. So increase text entry cell size? or number? What about moving the Category titles to the side going vertical? Or would a reduction in category title be just as good...
