Thanks for that quick summery, I might take a look after all.

I've used the old Supplement 5-6 Vehicle Handbook for years and I like the results. I was impressed how they were able to create the WW2 tank books - the designs rang very true. Do I need the new 2nd edition Vehicle Handbook? Is it any different in content, or has it been given a stylish...

Well it's 2018 now, and there's always: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/207164/Solo

What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams. [Werner Herzog] ALIEN BREEDS is a newly released roleplaying supplement for the Cepheus Engine and other classic 2D6 SF roleplaying games. It details a new species of hostile alien predator with...

I agree with torus. Cepheus Engine is a wonderful standalone game that draws heavily from the rules in 1st edition Mongoose Traveller. As such it is compatible with that and many versions of Traveller. It is in fact far more compatible and interchangeable with those versions than some other...

Wing it wing it wing it. If in doubt, wing it. Nothing gets players more disgruntled than a ref with his head in a book looking up some rule. If in doubt. Wing it, Check it later. That is my advice and I first was introduced to roleplaying in 1982!

That's a great purchase, you won't regret it - there is so much stuff there, from ship deckplans to scenario ideas, library data to world information. Happy gaming, and happy new year!

The worlds and the astronomy are 'realistic', but this is a setting with hyperdrives and gravity compensators (although not grav drives) so its still as realistic as most other SF RPGs. Gritty here means the hard-nosed, hard-working, non-glamorous, industrial and care-worn side of life in the...

It does have illustrations like this,with a big Outland, Alien, Dark Star, Silent Running, Bladerunner vibe: The Cover USCS Hercules - Commercial Towing Vessel Hyperspace relay towers of the Network on Telluride: A completed character sheet, this guy is a corporate agent, managing...

A tail-sitter; that fits well with the Traveller canon. Reminds me of a scoutship version of the old Type C Mercenary Cruiser. Care to share any of the deckplans?

To the initial question, there are fairly clear cut rules for interacting with Mars atmosphere in Zozer Games' Orbital 2100 (http://www.paulelliottbooks.com/orbital.html). I don't have my copy with me at the moment, I am away on holiday. It does include rules for building modular space stations...

I am reticent to publish a section of gameplay, purely because it is the culmination of rules which I cannot, obviously, present here in full. However... you asked! Before I do, each character includes three story hooks, or Life Events, which may impact on events in the game; and the Player...

There will be a softback version (154 pages) coming out through Lulu at the weekend.

It's truly been years in the making, SOLO is a compilation of the different solo rpg techniques that I've been using this past decade to run everything from naval patrols to hunting parties, crime gangs and imperial survey scouts in unexplored subsectors! And it's pretty much version-and-edition...
