My UofB5 book arrived today, so yours should be there soon. A month too late for the game we were going to play, but hey. It still looks good, tho. Shane

Lets think about some of the more visceral personal-level details, too... Do you risk taking the time to properly secure your ship to theirs? Have they got workign guns? Or do you try to jump across? Even if you have a safety line, if you miss you are either a sitting duck or no use to the...

I would suspect it made it easier to correctly order the pages back in the good old days of slow hand printing before page numbering was common. Or something like that. Shane

Y'know what, this looks fun. I am really looking forward to this! Shane

Um, when they say rounds, I think they mean "rounds of ammunition", as in bullets. Not rounds of game time. Shane

Really? I've picked up a few things from Mongoose's office before. You could ring them up and ask, the worst that'll happen is they'll say no. That would surpise me, though, as they are decent sorts. Shane

Who asked you, starfish? Get back in your hole! :lol: Shane

Hi there, One thing I think Mongoose should consider developing, even as a minor sideline, is an OTU sector that hasn't been officially touched yet. Not to replace or overshadow the Marches, but possibly as part of a living campaign situation that develops it beyond the original book. Another...

Hi Baz, I guess my answer really depends on what mechanical differences you think are important enough to model. To look at Affinity, I guess you have to attach a game value to it before you can model it. It allows communication between Edenists over fair distances, so it has a deal of...

To be honest, the only kind of solo Traveller product that would make a huge impact would be a PC game. These days things liek choose your own adventure and all those goodies are only really for thos eof us old enought o enjoy the nostalgia, or the children of those gamer parents who really...

I had to vote for Vargr as I think they are the most playabel and usable int he games. That said, one book on all the alien (i.e. not just human sub-species) races would be a good move. The world needs more books on Hivers too, I feel. Shane

Hey there, The Night's Dawn universe is certain a fascinating one - more so without the dead returning, in my opinion. And as a gaming universe it has a good deal of potential. One concern I have with the idea of converting it is the weapons and armour. Even the small arms of the trilogy do...

Here's one: Zero-G Golf Designed for those long trips in ships with big cargo bays, the zero-g golf kit consists of 18 sticky-back holes, a few magnetic balls, some clubs and an assortment of sticky-back 'obastcles'. The holes are spread randomly around the walls, floor and ceiling of a cargo...

I suspect this is the case. Imagine how different the sociopolitical (good word, huh?) makeup of the Imperium would be if ships could easily jump multiple times between refuelling. There'd be less need to visit planets with not other value than being a stop-over. Military operations would be...

Hi folks, I've voted OTU, because I hope to see the 1200 Traveller New Era setting redone sometime in the future (in the meantime I'll have to work on it myself), or 1248. Regards, Shane
