A good blog from Steve Hatherley who is running Sky Raiders and whose critique is quite valid. I am a player. Have to say I hope the rewrite is more a sandbox, factions, rumours, locations and potential encounters -- with some very good potential hooks but none that are mandatory. I have found...

Thanks for that.. I never engaged with TNE so I didn't know that.. but with an AI by my side - now I do! Excellent.

Chaosium have flooded cons with giveaways and con support in this their 50th year, so how about just stealing some ideas: 1: Traveller pin badges 2: Traveller bookmarks, maybe with range rules on them 3: An organised demo team of volunteers who run core Traveller one offs and receive store credit

Not quite sure what the Mission Control book is in the Kickstarter..

A UK Traveller Convention that isn't the small affair that is TravCon. Of course it could be TravCon if it was in a major city, say Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield.. in a serious venue, with extensive games schedule and extensive speaker slots. Then the same in the US. NOW.. there is the core...

Given how much I like your stuff I am hoping we might see a return of the *Dark Times*

I would say that a child raised in a prison colony probably isn't exactly a prisoner, since a prison colony that has children is some other kind of sick place -- thus Rogue or Drifter -- assuming that the prisoner got out. Otherwise you simply accept you have chosen an edge case and allow it as...

Yes! Mindjammer! Knew it was on my shelf for such a day!

I have a sector wide robot "intelligence" like that in my Trojan Reaches - one single instance in a Gen Eric Bar at most starports. Called Mr Lovegrove.

I am thinking of running some "Panoply" prefect adventures set in the "Glitterband" of Alistair Reynolds' Dreyfus books in the wider, longer Revelation Space sequences. I'd love to chat to people with Traveller minds as to how to do it. In some ways it's very easy, 10,000 habitats and er 100...
