Hey all, thanks for the positive feedback! I'm glad to hear that this isn't falling on deaf ears! I had no idea that existed! It looks like a great program (and the rewards are very generous), but unfortunately I can't run three con games every six months (the requirement for active status), so...

But how much could the final PDF actually be? I mean, the Mongoose Traveller core book is just under 200 pages and is only 10.5 MB. Assuming it has about the same amount of art and complexity in its layout, the final PDF for a 600 page T5 should only be about 32 MB, right? That's definitely...

Two weeks ago was Origins Game Fair, the second-largest gaming convention in North America (beaten only by GenCon). For the last few years, I noticed that nobody was running Traveller (or Paranoia, or any of the other games from Mongoose). Fortunately, this year there were a few games of...

My laptop doesn't even have a CD drive. Why did he bother doing this rather than just going straight to digital download? Kickstarter asking him to make a "PDF only" level with just a digital download of the PDF without the screensaver, dice, or other "swag" that I don't want. He just told me...

I think the most exciting thing about it is that we get a real Paranoia cover and not just a bunch of colored shapes!

I suppose this was what I was expecting and I didn't see it. It's not too much, but I think it would have gone a long way for me and other people. And I appreciate the invitation to ask questions about Traveller. Perhaps in another topic I will :-)

I'm not saying that they need to give a full sales pitch to everyone that walks in, just someone who's not standing behind the register who might ask "is there anything you have a question about?" or "is there anything you're looking for?". Maybe if you see someone looking for a while at the...

I guess first impressions are everything and I just had a bad one at GenCon. I'm sure you guys are knowledgable people and would have answered my questions if I chose to ask. I probably should have walked up to the register and asked, but as I said, I got the impression that they didn't want to...

I went to GenCon last weekend and I have to say that I just wasn't impressed with the Mongoose booth. I stopped by on Sunday and was wanting to ask a few questions about Traveller. I think it's a system that I would be interested in, but I wanted to know how the system worked and such to see if...

If I'm understanding this correctly, you're saying that sales were low with the previous products, so they are cutting costs by not creating an interesting cover. While that would probably create a better profit margin per book, I fear that having a bland cover means that people are less...

The 2004 Paranoia line had a variety of different colors featuring humorous scenes of life as usual in Alpha Complex. This of course included weird stuff, troubleshooters getting zapped, and general craziness. But the new 2009 Paranoia line just looks so... bland. Aside from the core books...

I've always loved the concept of Paranoia and it just makes me laugh. In particular, I love how the rulebooks are really fun to read (almost as fun as playing the game itself). I was excited about the new Paranoia: Troubleshooters and figured I'd finally buy a copy for myself rather than...
