Slightly off topic but I have the Spinward Marches book and want to use it in my campaign. Every system has the UWP for the mainworld but no information on other possible planets in system, is it possible (and allowed) to use the Scout system generation rules to flesh them out as and when...

Wow, thank you all for the replies! :D I think I will simply start rolling and hope that by the time I am done with my subsector, it will have stuck! :) I really like this and will use this at least to start with until they become "stuck" in my mind!. Also, I will keep a chart handy for...

Wow, so many replies! :D Based on what has been said here, I was thinking it all wrong (I was thinking you needed to "act out" every step!). I have a lot more to think about and I am definitely a lot clearer on the subject than I was!. Thanks again to each and every one of you! :D Now to...

Rick, Thank you for the clarification! I will be doing some industrial-strength rolling later today!. We had a friend over yesterday and I darn near talked his ear off about Traveller! :lol: Hopefully another person to add to our little gaming group!. Thanks again for all the help, you are...

Hi all!, Just a quick question: I am having some trouble remembering exactly what each number of the UWP stands for, has anyone got any tips or is it just one of those things that you eventually pick up through repeated use?. I am (hopefully) going to be rolling up a subsector later today and...

Hi all!, I have a quick question about Scouting/Surveying a system. I have the Scout Book 3 and am looking at pages 88-91 where it details the process of scouting/surveying a new system. I was wondering how exactly to translate this into "game terms" as in how do i walk my players through the...

Nathan and Rick, Thank you so much for your quick replies!!. I have been away from this forum for too long and have forgotten how extremely friendly and helpful you all are! :) I was on roughly the right track, but it is nice to be reassured I was thinking correctly!. My only question is to...

Hi all, I have been searching the internet in vain for a while now since purchasing Book 3:Scout and trying my hand at creating a system for our first game. I have no experience as a referee or a player (I do not know anyone who plays) which is a problem but I own a lot of the books and have...

Thanks for the replies!, can I ask what the correct figures should be? as I said, I did find the errata download, but it is not clear where a lot of these should be inserted in the pocket edition as a lot of them refer to chapters I did not even realise had tables or extra information...

In my copy, it is written exactly as I posted it. Guess I should get a newer copy! :roll: Yeah, I should have specified, I meant Merchant Prince! I am toying with the idea of getting that, Scoundrel, 760 Patrons and 1,001 Characters (and apparently a new core book!...). Just trying to work...

I am trying to work out if there is an error on this page regarding the tables or I am reading them wrong. I have searched and cannot find anyone else with this specific problem. In the text on page 160: "For example, the Beowulf is docked at an asteroid mine (Population 3), and is heading for...

I would like to see Andromeda done. But there is next to nothing available online apart from what I referenced here: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=39345 Also, Firefly and Stargate offer a lot of possibilities.

So, has anyone done anything like this i.e. without any 'source' books to copy from? I am working on some very rough ideas but I am not sure how to copy the mechanics from Traveller. I know a lot of you design your own ships which would come in handy, do you use "High Guard"? Would I need it...

I got Scouts recently, and was reading the system design section, how do you use that? After the main world has been created using the core book? Does the scouts method just add orbital trajectories of your created planets? How would I use that in game - just to describe the orbits when the...

That helps a lot thank you! I didn't realise that was the case with skills as it doesn't seem to mention it in my book! so to clarify: if i gained gun combat (energy pistol) 1 then I gain all the other gun combat specialities at level 0 too? or if i gain Pilot (small craft) 1 then i also gain...
