This is a request for help and information. I'm working through the Mongoose 2nd books to update their pages in the Traveller Wiki. I started with the JTAS books. I've discovered that the author's names were not included with the individual articles. So if you are the author, or know who the...

I have read through the book in detail and was a reviewer on the final version. It contain short descriptions of almost every world in the Dagudashaag sector. It also contains articles about the races unique to the area, a the politics of the area, and a few unusual features. It's 400 pages of...

Jim McLean, the author of GT:FT, expressed regret that there wasn't more words in the book on the speculative trade system. On other Traveller Forums, the complaint is trade system written in GT:FT doesn't match the reality of the Traveller Universe. Specifically the Gravity trade model used as...

https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Trade_map_summary#Statistical_Analysis I captured the external trade at the sector level. That is, how much trade in each sector goes outside of the sector. Based upon internal review of the data, I would say most (99%) of that goes into the surrounding sectors...

This is only for the direct trade between worlds. I would need to dig up the raw data files to find the trade between specific worlds and sum them. The output is trying to balance the volume of data (which is very large) with easy to read/understand. I should probably read though a number of...

I've taken the GURPS Traveller: Far Trader rules, added a dash of a few other rules, ran the T5 Second survey data through a python program, generated a huge volume of data, and dump it all into the wiki: https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Trojan_Reach_Sector/economic...

Which? The Wiki, or the example ?

The Traveller Wiki is announcing a new feature: Campaigns. Need a place online to put your Traveller campaign information like characters, background, campaign logs, updated to rules, and so on. The Traveller Wiki has added a Campaign namespace for you to organize and collect the information...

For trade rules you want CT Book 7: Merchant Prince, or more likely MGT Book 7: Merchant Prince. For other sources, look at GT:Far Trader. Like GT:First In it has an entirely over the top rule set for establishing trade systems. Two other books you might be interested in would be World Tamers...

Question is: Where? How do I, not having Travelled to GenCon, get my hands on this fine product.

I've seen notes that adding an earth like atmosphere to the moon would last between 10,000 and 100,000 years and still remain breathable. This is without doing any maintenance (i.e. adding more air at the same rate it gets lost). It's possible, but time and resource consuming. It's not permanent...

For the light gravity case, you might want to look at the "vomit comet", a plane used for testing astronauts for the microgravity environment in orbit. Also take a look at the astronauts on the moon (though there only for a few days). In general, people should be able to adapt without much...

A day late: If you have access to the JTAS reprints, in issue 23, there is an article titled Space Habitats, by Chris Struble. This has a high guard like construction system for building space habitats specifically. It's old, but still workable.

Unless there is some reason to suspect not, I would simple assume this is true: 1 MGT Cr = 1 TNE Cr . If the conversion is something like 1 MGT Cr == 1.14159 TNE Cr are you really going to go through the process of multiplying all the costs? In truth the conversion is probably even more complex...

I will apologize then for making the assumption and statement that BITS has expired. It was vastly premature and will not happen again. The people responsible have been sacked.
