I just received the hardback copy of the rules today. I'm pretty disappointed to see that the edits that I (and my wife) compiled were not applied. :( Is there a reason that they were discarded? I've also started a thread in the UK Roleplayers forums about this issue in RPGs in general...

Anyone downloaded it yet? How is it?

So, the final version of Mongoose Traveller 2.0 is out. Did these gender related edits make it to the final cut?

So, is it all over? What happens next with the project now the beta test period has expired? I reckon that the document could still be fed back to the community again in a month or so, to give us the chance once you (i.e. Mongoose/Matt) have had a go at it yourselves. So what's the plan? ;¬)

Some last minute typos/suggestions/clarification requests (from the printer friendly Dec 4 version): In addition to the below, the vehicle armour sections are empty in the printer friendly version. Should they show something? p147 Derelicts "More detailed rules for salvaging derelict ships...

And Amy and I looked at chapter thirteen jointly: Amy's: Chapter 13: The Sindal Sub-Sector Page 230 Worlds of Sindal “”…to allow him to describe the people, societies and settlements of everywhere the Travellers visit so they become memorable…” “”…to allow them to describe the people...

Courtesy of my wife (Amy). I trust they are good & comprehensive suggestions. Chapter 10 : Psionics p196 Institute Testing “If the Traveller still has any PSI remaining, he can be trained” “If the Traveller still has any PSI remaining, they can be trained” “If a traveller learns a power, he...

Here's chapter eight. There were no pronouns to modify in chapter nine. My wife did chapters ten to twelve... in the next post! Chapter Eight : Space Combat p154 Crew Duties Turret Gunner Sent 2 "A Traveller must choose which turret he is manning at the start of the combat." "A Traveller...

Only one in chapter eight. Chapter Seven Spacecraft Operations p149 Passengers Working Passage "This is identical to middle passage, but the passenger pays his way by serving on board ship in some capacity, usually fulfilling one of the crew positions." "This is identical to middle passage...

Chapter Six : Vehicles (partially checked: pp130-136 incl.) p132 Vehicular Actions Para 1 Sent 1 "These are all significant actions that the driver (or pilot) of a vehicle can perform during his turn in a combat round." "These are all significant actions that the driver (or pilot) of a vehicle...

Chapters 4 & 5 (pp71-129 incl.) p76 Chapter Four : Encounters and Dangers Para 1 Sentence 1 "When adventuring through the universe, a Traveller has a great deal more to be worried about than finding himself in the middle of a battle." "When adventuring through the universe, a Traveller has a...

So I didn't get around to doing that... hopefully I will before midnight on Thursday!

My opinion about "man-portable" items is that it's OK in it's current form. Some people might think that there needs to be complete neutrality in everything, which might happen with new nouns, but these things are already established. Some things have already changed in English - e.g...

Actually, an edit to an edit. I noticed the spelling of "forgo" rather than "forego" used later on, although "foregoes" was used in the sentence I had proposed an edit for. The edit would then be: Minor Actions Para 1 "A Traveller can normally perform a single Minor Action in a combat round...

So more 'edits'. I've gone through the Combat chapter of the "NEWTRAV_UPDATE_4_DEC_PrinterFriendly.pdf". Each entry below should have an indication of which page, section or subsection and paragraph within that section that it is from. The text as is stands is quoted, then the proposed edit...
