So it seems. Simulation of reality or not, it would be good if some definitions were consistent, such as sizes, between animals, sophonts, starships and vehicles. By definition, Gargatuan Trait animal receive benefit of being Starship Scale and damaged as Starship Scale (I'm looking at you...

How is that for a Movie Callback? 🤣 . A rules question: Since Traveller Core Rules had Animal Sizes from the get go and Traveller Companion has the Gigantic Trait, shouldn't these size traits be posted with some sophonts? Or being "Animal Traits" they don't count for sophonts? Orcas from...

Just Released May 7, 2025 on Cruz Del Sur Records TRAVELLER Supplement 1: The Ephemeral Glades by Lord Weird Sough Feg Baltech Budapest, is hiding on the planet Mithril, beneath layers of ice in the Ephemeral Glades. Can he escape and flee the planet? Or will he be re-captured by Professor...

I have played every version of D&D except for original white box. I am aware what can and cannot be converted in D&D and Traveller. I should have been more clear Some things do not easily convert RAW back and forth. Can't convert those 3e L20 Dwarf Fighters to 1e because of demihuman level...

That is because of meta-story and editorial differences of who was handling the game in whatever version. While Marc Miller is the IP holder the final arbiter of canon, he himself has tweaked a few things over the years as well. But that was easy since there was only "one official" campaign...

Are you the same Kevin Knight who did The Traveller Chronicle? That magazine was awessome sauce! Within the context of the 3rd Imperium setting, the Traveller 5 Rulebook published by Far Future Enterprises posts ratings of Power 8, Maneuver 9, and Jump 6 at TL 15. In addition, other drives...

My other vote is for The Beyond Sector. For its time and purely on the contents of that volume alone, it was far more imaginative and inspiring than Spinward Marches was. When it came out in 1981, not too many sectors had been detailed at that time. Solomani Rim, my favorite sector, had not...

Or Android.... Then I can pop it into my Android VM, which resides on my Windows laptop? Does that count as porting it to Windows?

YAY! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Couldn't you assign a Bane to skill checks to operate outside you "native" gravity field? OTOH consider, you don't give your zero-g belters (20 years experience or natives) "Heavy-G" skill to operate in standard grav environs. Or did they before?

For the OTU: Heresy heathen, Heresy. If one is looking for a detail, look at TNE's Fire, Fusion and Steel. The design sequence there calculated the surface area of the ship's volume and items like radiators for the HEPlar drive, opening for the spinal weapon focus, sensor arrays and so on took...

The retcon should not be Vargr population growth per se. It is the pressure of the hordes of survivors as by 1120 the on-coming Empress Wave has entered Ngathksirz Sector. 1105 Map with 1120 Empress Wave overlaid

One question is who pays for the meson sites? I think it would be local economy which means, to me, local TL tech support and local credits for builds and maintenance. The Rim might be the historical birthplace of the meson gun as Condottiere points out, but I suggest not every place seems to...

The Virus Novels have that as an ongoing fear. They are known relics of the Third Imperium. The world (Promise, I think), on which Sandman resides is far from the borders of the Imperium. But it was built pre-Virus. So who were they built to defend against? My suggestion is as defense for...

Girl, pull your skirt up for Pete's sake!
