They probably stem from the same technology, but the application might be different. The scale is enormous on the gravity well generators. No, because they need to make multiple hops, and the way we describe one-shots is that they only work well... well, once, but you can sometimes squeeze one...

Yes, there will.

The six-ton bridge for 100-ton ships in the CRB was an error. Ships of 100 tons will continue to have 10-ton bridges.

I'd be the author. I'm the office Vargr champion, and yes, I'd approach it from their perspective with no dog jokes. I've had a few players over the years that can't resist making them, and it always rankles me. I'm a staunch Vargr advocate. :) A campaign would emphasise the mercurial nature of...

Julian Protectorate is a great area, but it's not a priority right now. You'll see a Zhodani Consulate book soon with at least one sector (possibly Zhdant), and we'd like to give the Vargr the same treatment Randy Dorman has given the Aslan. Namely, a setting book with 1-2 sectors (Gvurrdon and...

Hi, everyone. I've gone through all the feedback thus far and sent corrections to Cassie. There are still some details to be worked out here and there, but we've got a pretty good list of fixes. What we don't have is any feedback for Act 3. If you've read it and have caught some things, please...

Great lore find! Thank you. :) Although, it's not very imaginative. It literally just means "red star." I'm going to work my Vilani word into the passage as well to add a little colour (so to speak). Yeah, Geir alerted me to my inadequacy as an astrophysicist a few weeks ago, but thank you. 🤓

True, but I wonder if any of the passengers would notice. Or the Travellers for that matter if they do not yet know about Naalir. Could make for an intriguing subplot.

Trust me. I share your enthusiasm. Whether our print vendor matches the colour correctly is another story, but we'll give them RGB 128, 0, 0, and hope for the best.

I drew a lot of inspiration from the Culture novels for this campaign, and I think there would certainly be some similarities. Not exactly what I would envision, but I wrote a little piece on what might come next as a conclusion to the Singularity Companion, which should fall into your hands...

I'm sure we'll discuss it when the time comes, but for Marines I will insist on maroon cover with gold foil text and sunburst. I've always associated the IISS with orange, but that's just my head canon. I'm sure we'll discuss it, and Bella, our author, will certainly have an opinion. Could be...

Ooooh! That's a baddie. Asking Cassie to apply a fix right away. Thanks for the note.

Have you guys planted a bug in the office or something? :LOL: We have plans for both Scout Service and Imperial Marines books later this year. I'm flagged as the marines writer. Both will be companion pieces to Imperial Navy, with similar look and feel. Edit: Just read Endie's post. Looks like...

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"...
