How about auctioning original artwork? Or advertising the artists portfolio either as an altruistic endeavour or commercial opportunity Everyone wins

For me, variety is important even if I don't use the content directly. I use FFW as a broad backdrop which occasionally interferes with my Travellers plans. A couple of recent examples are their intended route through the Spinward Marches was disrupted due to the outbreak of hostilities...

With the FFW in full-flight I would expect resources to be diverted into other activities such as counter-terrorism, bolstering outlying and vulnerable colonies etc leaving wider scope for smuggling activities

I don’t agree all brokers are parasites. Many are, but not all Some brokers add value by connecting people who otherwise would never have the opportunity to connect - for which they extract a price. This principle translates well from IRL to Traveller, and may be more appreciated in Traveller...

The mechanics of smuggling in Traveller will be totally different to current IRL experience. A master class of smuggling IRL is enlightening but not that useful for the far future imagining of what might be possible.

Does anyone remember the fuss over introducing calculators into exams? Seems to me the introduction of AI is causing a similar issue but on steroids I am skeptical of what AI can currently achieve. I work in IT and for those who may not know, have authored 3 technical books. I find AI is...

I think the answer is more nuanced. A ban on AI generating art is fine by me for commercial publications, what I may choose to generate in support of my game is up to me The nuance is with written content. I have found AI to be unreliable with facts and in my field, one needs to be a Subject...

Still showing as Triangle 24 in the book list Let’s hope removal is in error

If only Mongoose sold popcorn and beer…

@Condottiere - it’s all about the experience :) Value is sometimes in the ambience and scenery
