I am doing a review of mine and I will see if it is okay to post. I hope to try this weekend. Sorry, Real Life (TM) has gotten in teh way.

Go check this out. It is a nice, easy to understand video talking about the four fundamental forces of nature as we know them today. Two of them, gravitation and and electromagnetism, have been known for a rather long time. The other two, the Strong Force and the Weak Force, were discovered in...

I found that with some of my players who have never played Traveller before, they could really use a character generation worksheet, taking them step by step through character generation. I also gave them a big sheet of skills, so that they could just add a mark or alter their skills as we went...

One of the things that caught my eye in the State of the Mongoose is this: Let me be one of the first to say that I would be excited to see changes in the presentation of Traveller. I recently purchased Book 10 - Cosmopolite, and I must say that I was very disappointed in the appearance of the...

Those look great! I've been thinking of making my own for some time, but now that I see these I am beginning to question my decision. I would be interested in seeing the text translated (as my Italian is nonexistant!). I am also thinking I need to contact my source with the large format printer...

it seems the entire Offtopic forum is being polluted by the user Dalinapa. At least two pages, possibly three of junk.

In the Life Events table in Book 10, entry 54 reads: That chapter, and the section mentioned, does not seem to exist. Is there anything that is mentioned there that we should know about or should we, as in the old days, wing it?

I know I am a little late in commenting about this book, but I just got a copy. The content of the book looks interesting. It looks like it will expand on character creation for both Citizen and and Scholar careers, and the expanded Life Events Table will, I am sure, contain all sorts of twists...

In the weapons list there is listed a Gauss Flamer. Try as I might, I just can't wrap my brain around this one. It is a high damage weapon (5D+6 Flame), which is nice, but I can't figure out how it works. Is it needle slugs that burst into flame when they strike? Is it some kind of odd white...

Thanks for the info on Critical Hits. I can't seem to find the scout rules in the Fleet Update #2, but since none of the ships in the main book use those rules, it doesn't really matter, does it?

I have a couple of questions that do not seem to be answered by the errata or FAQ, so I am hoping I can get some clarity here. On page 8 of the rulebook, the example of Critical Hits seems to be in error. It says that a ship with 2 critical hits on the Dilithium Chamber would suffer 4 extra...

Ok, that makes sense. I had not gotten that far yet in the book, but I am glad that they get used somewhere.

I recently purchased the rulebook. While reading it, on page 17, it talks about Labs. There it says that Labs can be used to gather Information Points about another ship. The tricky part is, I have not seen anywhere that tells what these Information Points do. Can anyone help me with this?

I own and am interested in playing T5. Yes, I know that puts me in a tiny minority here. I will play Classic Traveller at the drop of a body pistol. Been playing it since 1979, don't see me stopping. I will also be willing to play Mongoose Traveller. I own it, just never played it. I keep...

Unless you are like me, who is rather allergic to just about every paint out there short of water colors and tempra paint. At that point, I would just rather have someone, anyone, paint them for me. I would gladly buy minis that someone else has painted. I have moved away form using eBay, but I...
