Sounds like it could be used as a metaphor for our current comms bind, in which there are concerns about the validity of data. We're constantly inundated with multi-factor authentication checks and propagation of misinformation. Corporations spend huge amounts of money on the security of their...

Including hints at all the damage that would be done to the Traveller narrative. With jump drive, all those interesting little "nothing" worlds become important because more than likely, you don't have a ship that can skip them. With hop drive, you jump over large swathes of "inconsequential"...

The gas giant moon in the habitable zone probably works best, maybe with an eccentric orbit in which eclipses virtually never happen... or eclipses only last a few hours so as not to drastically affect climate. Based on the description in CT Adventure 9, it seems like a climatically stable...

We have a single-system campaign coming next fall: Messiahs of the World Ocean. We'll really get into every little detail about Bellerophon/Solomani Rim. One challenge we have is that its star is a red dwarf (M1 V). Granted it's a large one as red dwarfs go, but most planets that orbit a star...

We make a concerted effort to take updated legacy products off the rails and make them into proper sandboxes, so take heart. That should be our approach with Sky Raiders when we get to it. The Traveller Adventure is on the list for derailment, too.

Indeed they will. Each will be presented first as four individual issues, and then republished as a graphic novel with a new feature or two in the back matter.

If you're fans of the Traveller comics, we've got great news for you. We've just signed two artists to contracts for the subsequent Far Trader and Riftbreaker series. Toby Beal will deftly handle the art chores on Traveller – Far Trader: Insurrection, and Shane Douberly will be rendering...

It's coming along, but unfortunately, I don't have an accurate update. The third issue is about 1/3 illustrated and I hassle the art team on a weekly basis to get it done faster. The good news is, it's still Luigi Iannelli doing the art. I think he's perfect for the book, which has a certain...

If it doesn't affect immersion, humor is great in a game session. After all, we're there to have fun. Jokes by your Travellers are a fun part of the game. What I don't like is when it's derisive, distracting or un-immerses everyone. We're there to participate in a fun and exciting fictitious...

I think this would be a great sector to develop. It is the confluence of K'kree, Hiver and human space. I think its premier subsector would be Torrent, which features an interstellar "river" of star systems where the three empires meet and there is at least one minor race empire as well.

Two gaming sessions at Dragonmeet might not constitute a proper demographic study, but here are a few details about my experience: One female, eight male players. Three in the 20-30 age bracket, six probably 45+. Two were long-time Traveller players, and two others had played before, but not...

It is being worked on, chapter by chapter, at this very moment. They will be sent out as each one becomes available. Then, once they're all done, they'll be organised into the cohesive Singularity Companion, complete with back cover blurb, introduction, and a little afterward that describes what...

Funny you should mention it. I put in to make that change a few weeks ago. Lemme go check in on the Powers That Be to have that done. MongooseGriffen sounds like quite an ugly beast. I think I'll just do Chris.

What I like about Islands in the Rift is that it gets them doing several of the things you do in Traveller: Jumping from system to system in a sandbox (some on a rail; some more sandboxy) Combat Starship combat Vehicle combat Experiencing different starports, environments, etc.
