Supernorris? I like that... I had similar moniker for his early 80's D&D equivalent. Saint Stephen Karameikos. Able to snap his fingers and setting plausibility goes all to hell. Those mid to late 80's metaplots were bad enough without injecting the beloved personalities from the earlier...

sadly I have to say I'm in complete agreement with that. Very disappointing series.... and could have started by fixing the early setting detailing that don't fit the evolved larger big picture Imperium setting. No Archduke? huh? Not even Sector Dukes? Umm.. they are the foundations on how a...

yeah... Travelling indeed and found my way into a fab brick and mortar game store here in Rome that had shelves and shelves of all kinds of RPG's and not a single Traveller or Mongoose book among them. What a bummer... Happy New Year to all!!

Wasn't really in my plans to do but I started taking a whack at it. I love crunching numbers. It did lead me to revise my intro paragraph to that ministry. The Tigress example fell a bit flat I suppose. 'How vast are those expenses? Take for example the maintenance requirements of the many...

exactly the point I was trying to make without modelling the whole of Imperial economics. Which would be fun to do, probably less so to read haha. It was an example of large number but one that is such a minuscule part of the overall budget. Perhaps I should have, instead of the Tigress, made...

Exactly the point I was trying to make but didn't. The vast majority of authors would be just like musicians were in my experiences. They want constructive criticism. They live for it. Praise is great for the ego but not exactly helpful to help them improve. Mongoose I'm sure would be no...

haha! Awesome! You need a job as an editor? I'm at fifty something pages entering a first edit of a chapter detailing the multiple ministries of the Imperial bureaucracy which are the tools the nobility have to manage the Imperium. Covering those point you raised (as well as others) Some...

well reviewing is not easy for sometimes you ... just have to say hard to say things. Sometimes people just don't want to go there. Afraid of offending people I suppose. I reviewed albums for many years for a popular music site and the funny thing some of the best feedback I got from...

For sure I love Tony's videos but wish he reviewed them. I've talked with him in his comments about that. He is adamant about avoiding spoilers which of course makes reviewing an adventure impossible.

that does bring up the point of what players, new players, want to play. I was genuinely curious about this myself and raised that question in the Alien RPG subreddit. Why buy this game when Traveller can do Alien(s) and do it extremely well. Flipping the question, can Alien do what Traveller...

that would be a great series of books wouldn't it. Empire books. Solomani, Zhodani, Vargr Extents, even the more far flung Hiver and K'Khree empires. Of course the starting place would be the Third Imperium wouldn't it. We got a great history of it, but so little detail on how it actually...

haha.. see you and raise you a Nuclear-grade quibble... the Vilani seeded population wise much of the 15,000 planets of the first Imperium including all of Core Sector naturally as it was well within the borders of the First Imperium. 4000 years before any other race (the Zho's) even...

The premise sounded fun, the hook to buy was the different setting. That rimward region of chartered space is a goldmine for different kinds of settings free of 3I lore. Sitting down to do a deep dive read through this morning. that said MJD. Glare all you want! Machine Head was great no...

oh the creative thoughts swirling in our heads to soundtrack of way too many listens to Jefferson Airplane's Bathing at Baxters album.. your Travellers are just cruising for Vargr chicks in Voenggaks subsector when your senops notices... and it keeps getting closer... you can't shake...
