I looked for others. Some interpret AC/DC's Dirty Deeds number as "362436 hey" as "3624368" (though it should be noted Australian numbers in the 70's were only 6 digits - the former is correct). But 362436-8 is a possible UWP, especially with (but not requiring) a good starport... Dirty...

That's a freakish co-incidence that the three physical digits are Terran norm...

Remember, 19th century grammarians were the internet trolls of their day. Be like Shakespeare and just make it all up as you go along (presuming you have the rhetorical chops to make it stick...)!

I'm confused by whoever talked about a Psionics class/career in 5E being less Traveller. EVERY edition of Traveller has had a psionics chapter, and many of them have had a formal career sequence. That's very much a setting feature; CT and Mega let you be a career Psion if you were Zhodani; TNE...

First aid is stopping bleeding, sanitising and binding wounds, giving painkillers. It's much less involved than the other two categories; Having a bionic eye isn't going to affect having a broken leg set or having a haemorrhage treated. So to me, it makes sense not to be affected by implants...

Well, a new setting is always nice. I'd spend maybe $30 on something like that. Oh, wait...

That could work too.

Okay. Probably can be ignored then.

A'yanshi? Never heard of 'em and Google says "huh?" Probably frame the Great Rift as an impassable mountain range (with a couple of secret passes). Much of it writes itself, but you'd want to maximise the callbacks, without forcing it too much. Marshes are shallow waters dominated by...

Sure, but that's the path of the ships, not their lasers or other direct fire space guns.

Okay... I double checked. Low G yes, high UV no. They have built in sunglasses, but their sun is a red dwarf and they are adapted for infrared more than ultraviolet. Although I guess Muan Gwi is probably orbiting its sun pretty close and all stars output a lot of UV.

Yeah. From memory, Vegans are more or less standard Earth criteria, except for... a bit lower gravity and higher UV? Potentially there could be one biome put aside for heavy worlders and one for low-G guys. There's several species that might appreciate those if they were passengers, as well as...

I'm coming up on retirement, so I may well have a bash at Spinwood Marches when I'm bored... Darrians are clearly the Elf enclave. Sword Worlders are human barbarian tribes. Vargr are beastfolk ones from the cold North. Aslan are a different breed of beastfolk, from the sunny South. Zho can...

There may also be legal reasons that a person can't be put into involuntary cold sleep. Either local laws or YTU stuff. It wouldn't take too many injuries or deaths for that to come up, especially if the convict was later cleared of their crime. If the prisoners are being transported TO trial...

Vegan?
