Love the thoughts Matt on the State of the Mongoose. Kudos and big respect for taking such good care of your employees. An employee who takes care of their company should be rewarded and sounds like you know and live that. Not many bosses do obviously I was also really interested in your...

yeah again a nice concept but as Phavoc so wisely noted... put the light of common sense detailing on the concept and ... who sets that planetary military budget... not the 'hands off' of sovereign planetary affairs Imperium for sure ... and considering the vast majority of Imperial worlds are...

Interesting subject one near and dear to me actually. That of course comes with the relative lack of detail about how the Imperium actually works. These are concepts but has there been any real detailing of the Imperial bureaucracy. It's economics. Other than Gurps: Nobles very little, and even...

Great list and a nice reminder I need to up my purchase game and get more of the Traveller e-novels. Only have two but really enjoyed them.

that was great! I really enjoyed that and especially as I've already dropped... 'Don't be a salty chip' to four coworkers this morning... and got priceless WTF reactions. Done in the cutest accent I could manage which is a damn good one as I gained a Liverpudlian accent by pretty much by...

got a chance to skim through it yesterday. Deep dive reading this weekend. Absolutely LOVED the further information at the political factions at play in Core Sector (The Moot) that really built upon what the fabulous Last Call at Eneris' gave us. One of the many reasons I thought it was the one...

more than that... you really can't write a sourcebook about Vland without .. its history and that is a heavy subject man. And you can't write the history of Vland without really detailing the First Imperium and you can't write the history, a real history, without getting heavy into history the...

One thing that would be great to see in the run up to the big 5 0 is Mongoose up its game in promoting its products. Learning from TSR's mistakes is great but there is also learning from the successes of others. Namely contemporary publishers like Chaosium. I was struck while checking out the...

the Broker skill has more applications that merely for 'trade' so yeah I think leaving it as a flat modifier works fine. While trade/speculative trade is 'broken' it is not what the rules have.. but what it doesn't have that broke it. It treats trade tranaction in a vacuum. No real nod to...

a new copy that is.... mine fell apart at the binding for being used and abused for this project. It's pages are all over my desk in fact. While helpful for the nobles section, it had some that were 'new' and were not in the Third Imperium book. It's real benefit was in part 2. The Imperial...

After a bit of a long break from Traveller spent out in the Outer Rim territories, I came back recently to the game and with eyes on getting back to work on, maybe even finishing, a sector book I started last year on Vland Sector. One written in the same stylistic vein as my favorite Mongoose...

No it wasn't but fun to read reviews of it! After playing the Duke Norris drinking game and taking a shot of JD everytime he was mentioned in the Fifth Frontier Border Skirmish book (47 times!!!!)... yeah... I saw this series was not for me. Though what little remains of my liver was quite...

^ right on. KISS. Keep the rules elegant and easy. Besides those that feel that you can increase sizes are going to do so anyway with house rules as I do and suppose many also do. Isn't it best to keep the rules on point and especially not restrict player (game) agency without a very good...

amen to that but... I was PDF only with 1-12 until I got the 13-18 KS and loved having the books and not needing to break out the laptop to find that if a Scout gets a +1 or +2 modifier for purifying water hahah. Loved so much I've been buying up the earlier 12 I only had on PDF. About to drop...

no THANK YOU!! That is enough to draw me out of permo-lurker status ENOUGH WITH THE ASLAN. You wanna talk art. Let's talk art now don't tell me the dope smoking kiddies.. and hard core old farts won't dig that. When it comes to art there is only word Vargr baby.... WE WANT MORE VARGR!!
