The registration form is also available on the BITS website now (it took a while because of server issues we've been having). http://www.bits.org.uk/ or http://www.bitsuk.net/ There's also an option to register electronically.

BITS have opened registration to non BITS members for Travcon 2008. Email bits@bits.org.uk for more details and booking form. Space is limited. The BITS website will be updated over the next few days. An entire weekend of Traveller...could you possibly resist? :)

They're listed as a trader so I'd assume they'll be selling stuff.

Details have also been posted on the Conception website as well. See you all there. :)

BITS will be at Conception from 30th January to 1st February. We'll be running all five scenarios of the Project 1112:In Search of Angels, as well as some classic BITS scenarios, all using Mongoose Traveller. Or at least what's been published in the playtest files. :) Our aim is to have at...

I thought that was only in special circumstances. :)

I'm another 'it's not broken' voice here. If you make stats much lest relevant to task rolls you can reach the stage were the question comes along of 'why have stats at all?' Andrew Whincup explanation that stats are natural aptitude and skills are application of practise feels just about right...

Thanks very much for that. Where in the v2.0 playtest document is this explained? I had a good look last night and again today and couldn't find any reference like this. I know it will be staring me in the face. :)

Rolling up some characters with my game group the subject of the Engineering skill came up. How do the specialisations work? This is also a possible situation for all skills with specialisations. Our group will be a ship's crew of which two have the Engineering skill at level 1. There's four...
