That's an extremly limited view of what Psychology ist. The psychology you are describing is indeed a specialty of the Medicine skill. But Psychology is actually far broader than medical application. It involves whole host of theories from Freund to Jung and beyond. And the theories are not only...

I would disagree. Sophontology is a mixture of Sociology and Andropology. Both are taught at university as Social Sciences. As is Psychology. As a social science major, I really appreciate having those skills as Social Science skills. They are definetly not Life Sciences, even players would...

Thanks! This is great!!!

Actually, I remember reading a post that they had figured it out. But the current examples that are shipping to stores clearly tell otherwise. The books are getting worse and worse. Compared to earlier productions (printed in China, me thinks) quality has dropped like a stone. I won't be...

Traveller without Universal Profiles, be the Personal, World, Starship or whatever, is not Traveller anymore.

As I stated before, including World Generation and Starship Creation wouldn't be wise. An indenpendent publisher doesn't need to publish those. It would probably hurt MongTrav's sales figures. What I think, we can hope for is a clause like in T20: World Generation and Starship Creation rules...

Count Zodiac?!? /me cringes and shudders...

My FLGS usually carries multiple copies of RuneQuest books. And all of the Clanking City books had the same issue with the covers. The same goes for a Hawkmoon book that came in after I bought mine.

While we are at Quality Control: what's up the covers on the recent books? The all seem to split into a V shape from the back of the book. My FLGS shop keeper told that this is an issue with how the covers are inserted into the binding machine. Will this ever be fixed? Some examples: -...
