Yikes. I'd been on the fence with this one and you probably knocked me off of it, confirming my unspoken trepidations. Could cross file the underlying thoughts over to the 'How to make Traveller more popular' thread. Mongoose might be well served in recognizing the need for, and finding and...

for sure a novelizaton would be cool but... pirates, truckers, rock stars.... Great topics for Traveller campaigns. But what really is missing as a great Traveller campaign ... yep. a campaign based on the characters being Imperial Agents. Naturally the Imperium has a vast intelligence...

I should have taken a picture of the brick and mortar I went to when seeing the wife's family in Rome. Had like 6 large shelves of RPG's. It was like being in the 80's again! Walk into a store and shop away! Everything from everyone, big producers and even some of the boutique ones. Both...

Yeah. That is sort of what I was driving at by overrated. Not all passengers if one looks at it with the lens of a plausible realistic actions. I sure wouldn't trust my life or money to some bush pilot I found in the airport bar to fly me in his 100 year old plane with the paint flaking off...

It's just like those floatation seats on airplanes. Yeah right..... they are there for the one in million possibility that they may actually save your life and you are not torn apart by a high speed impact, high-G sudden stop with water. Leave it to the airlines they wouldn't bother but are...

yeah.... humans will be humans. It is what separates them from the animals. Ambition and the drive to screw others over for more money or personal power. As much as certain pre-uplift racial characteristics of the Aslan and Vargr are made a mountain of (no social evolution for you) it is very...

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.
