I see your point but it doesn't feel very satisfying. The same for using timeframes as the duration of the effect. I don't have any problem with people doing that but it doesn't satisfy my mind. Mostly it is fine, but I don't see how these rules can be interpreted without house rules. I'll...

It feels like an appropriate next step for the travellers who emerged from the Ancients campaign. I wonder if they will make room for that.

Yes, I think I wasn't paying enough attention to things like level of detail. Because it isn't really possible to hear something useful in a the same snapshot kind of way that one can see something and it said that clairaudience was basically the same as clairvoyance I assumed there has to be a...

Oh, so the argument being put forward here is that while in the regular skill section the check section is the time taken to achieve some kind of affect in the unique case of psionic power it is actually the duration, unless otherwise stated. I don't see us interpreting the rules the way you are...

Thank you everyone who posted here. There are some very interesting suggestions as well as an interesting conversation about momentum transfer. By the way, does anyone know of a study on topic drift in forum threads?

I'm curious about how people interpret and use psionic powers. Of course we all get to decide how to play our own games but I am curious about what everyone thinks the RAW of psionics are. For example, I think the power Life Detection is like a single radar "ping". A snapshot if you like, of...

I'm curious what everyone's go to tech is at say tech 12 and tech 15. I'm interested in quirky ways people might use technology. For example, I'm particularly keen to get the tech 15 PRIS glasses as they are so versatile. I also have a fondness for foam shotgun shells. I'll buy as high tech a...

I think Mercedes got up to all sorts of mischief and adventures over the hundred years previous to the scenario. This coupled with the garbled misinformation about what happened at Twilight Peak has grown to give the beat-up, old scout a glamour which Hunters aren't really sure about but know is...

This includes information about Wrath of the Ancients which some might interpret as spoiler information. It is a question to check whether I am thinking along the correct lines.

Does anyone have any suggestions for running this section of Secrets? Does anyone have any suggestion how to spice this up or friendly pointers where I am missing something?

While on the whole I’m inclined to agree, it could represent a worrying split in the normally cohesive deduction making processes in the Consulate. If only fleets available to a faction are taking part what does that say about the state of the Consulate and the impact of the knowledge of the...

Will the underground psions of Regina, descended from Psi-Units deployed to balance the Zhodani Nobles before the ban, step up to help the Imperium or act as fifth columnists?

I've enjoyed reading the different perspectives about this. Although I started ttrpg's back in the 1980's I only bought Traveller a few weeks ago after watching Seth S's YT stuff (and was bowled over by what I have been missing). Personally, I am looking forward to being around as some of the...
