Thanks for these ideas. I think I'm going to make sure they have better stats at the start. It's not that they want Traveller more like D&D, its just that I can see them losing interest if they start throwing chrs into combat in a D&D way and having to roll new ones up most weeks.

Athletics: DEX for dodging, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Yes, I agree. I am intending to cosy the players into this philosophy but I wanted to compile some ideas on increasing general Traveller durability.

Mongoosers, I have been running sessions of Traveller in between our normal D&D campaign and it looks like my group would be interested in a Traveller campaign afterwards. One snag is Travellers just can't take the relative pounding a D&D chr can so given my group need a carthartic scrap in a...

Major new alien race? The Cytralin Unity! The real crossroads of Charted Space out in Hinterworlds sector. Direct heirs to the Ancients, suppliers of high technology to the Third Imperium. A transplanted human race, the Lemura Teg and their counterparts the Lemura Gav (or was it the other way...

Make some noise about Hinterworlds and Old Expanses and you might well be rewarded...

Hi All, I have a thing for Hinterworlds, it was the sector my chr found himself in when I first stated playing Megatraveller with some very good friends. Kerry's point about a Cold War was exactly what I was thinking, except, more of Peter Hopkirk's 'Great Game' though ;) Let's hope Mongoose...

Hopefully, I know a Hinterworlds sector book lies with Mongoose...

You'll have to ask the Mongoose editorial team, I don't want to give anything away. If you want to see a Hinterworlds sectorbook make some noise about one and show them how popular it would be. There was a campaign published in Challenge called Behind Blue Eyes in the 90s based there so it has...

Hopefully! I am given to understand manuscript for a Hinterworlds & Old Expanses sector book sits with Mongoose right now!

Love the Sundowner!

A manuscript for Hinterworlds and Old Expanses sector book has been submitted to @MongooseMatt (hoping there are not two Matts at Mongoose) for approval. Hinterworlds focus is around Solomani versus Imperial diplomatic and covert fencing in the face of the spectre of a second Solomani Rim War...

Yes, G'Naakbusters is right, Challenge is the main source. There is some information on the Traveller Wiki about specific polities and races but... FEAR NOT! I am 95% finished on the first draft of a sector book for Hinterworlds and Old Expanses with the theme of the first Cold War, the Great...

Hello sophonts, I am just checking as I have had this assumption since 1989 and I want to make sure I am correct. In Mongoose Traveller the fuel used when jumping is burned in a short space of time to generate the singularity (into which the ship also injects hydrogen). It does not burn the...
