Yeah I got the email from MM re the kickstarter and I'm tempted to help out, but it's too damn expensive. $51 for what amounts to a couple of collector's traveller dice (literally a couple) and a mini-mortgage ($140+ from what I recall) if I actually want the dice and a book sent to me.

Well I can't find anyone else suggesting this but with the two relevant people sitting next to each other in the same room that would be an interesting 'offspring' of my two favourite games of all time :)

Or how about some detailled deckplans (and if anyone is interested in doing so, some 3D renderings) of the totally beautiful Comstar Games' T20 Armed Free Trader. That is a lovely ship and the baseline for most of my traders.

Good call! :)

depends what planet's gravity we are talking about. :P There is certainly no evidence that terran gravitational forces would be involved :)

So I ran a game in District 268 FOR District 268? Glad I didn't know that at the time. :)

Remember we still have perfectly legible copies of books that are 400+ years old: CD's start to 'break down' after 10 years or so... Anything stored on 3.5" will soon (next 10-20 years or so) not have much hardware available to read it... formats change regularly and not all new software is...

If you look at the kind of Ion Drives that have been speculated in New Scientist etc we are talking tiny, tiny, tiny. Therefore your ship doesn't need to carry most of it's weight as fuel and has much smaller engines. That means much less mass for the same mission payload and therefore for the...

Although the high gravity should (unless solar winds have stripped it away - which shouldn't happen if the core is still molten and hence the planet's EM field still up - from what I can recall) allow an atmosphere on whatever planet is being discussed. Assuming it's not a breathable...

OH COME ON!! I saw angus at Mongoose HQ yesterday, I thought I recognised him but convinced myself that I didn't. I never thought he was THAT Angus *cries* Still possibly a good thing, he's probably bored ****less talking SLA Industries to fanboys and it would have put me off my Traveller...

Ooh, remind me NOT to leave as soon as my game is done next year. :)

Guess I'll need to grab this to flesh out SuSAg so I have a fully detailled villain for District 268 :)

Great, I read about this AFTER I've just got back from the open day. Still, I'll know for next year - assuming Matthew will have me back to GM Thanks for today folks, I had a really great time. The Mongoose team were friendly, the games were fun and the players got totally into the District...

hmm whilst it sounds a bit TORGish to me in terms of variable tech, I know that anything you're involved in Mr Halfbat will be mindblowingly awesome :) Make sure you grab me for this at Conception or Indiecon (if i get away to it). Si
