I started out with Roll20, but after a while the free version just wasn't up to scratch. Ran out of space, and couldn't add to or tweak any of the functionality. I liked the open source and "pay once - you own everything, forever" ethos of Foundry (and didn't like the subscription fees of...

I'm pretty sure Mongoose are working with a games company (companies?) on two Traveller video games. If I recall correctly, one is a strategy (turn based, I think) game. The other is an RPG. I don't know how far through development they are, but I'm sure someone from Mongoose will let us know...

Hi Matt. Somebody bought me the companion as a gift recently (well, Christmas). Is there any way for me to get access to the pdf?

That did the trick. I've got the 18Mb version now.

I just tried, and I got the 86 Mb 2020 version.

Where are these downloadable from?

Ooh, that sounds interesting. I'm glad I asked. Psionics plays a key role in my campaign storyline.

Is this post going to get a description of the third "core" adventure added to it at some point?

Fantastic! That sounds perfect, I'd been looking at those Geomorphs. Thanks so much!

I'm not far off running Deepnight Endeavour, but still have no useable 2D deckplans for the ship. Did anyone get round to mapping it out in detail? Or have any advice on how to go about it? Matt - did anyone at Mongoose ever get round to this?

It's also interesting to see both are ahead of FG (at time of post), despite FG being the only platform getting any official support (as yet).

Maybe add some wording to make it clear that a single missile rack can only fire one missile at a time. I was confused about this for a long time, as the ubiquitous assumption that missiles are fired in salvos, plus the "holds 12 missiles", plus the name "rack" gave me the impression a single...

On a tangentially related point - how long does maintenance take? I can't find this specified anywhere in the MgT2e rules. I'm currently thinking of ruling: Standard maintenance, performed on time: 1 day. Standard maintenance, performed late: +1 extra day per month previously missed. Annual...

There's a minimal treatment of Darrian Travellers in the MgT2e Behind the Claw book. Half a page, including stats (str, end -1, dex, int, edu +1), other traits and allowable careers. I would use that until Aliens 3 comes out.

Sounds interesting. Can I make a request? I realise it may be too late already, or just too big of an ask, but, imo, what could turn this from great to amazing, would be the opportunity to play it from either perspective. Could this be done?
