I am booked in to the venue and offered the same game twice: Engineering, we may have misjumped.. 5 players As elite spacers of the Stormhaven Republic Order of the Inconstant Star you have faced many a terrible predicament before. Right now, staring at the webs that wrap from one space station...

BITS UK Ltd is happy to announce Travcon UK 2026, a residential science fiction roleplaying convention taking place 12–14 June 2026 at the Cranfield Management Development Centre in Milton Keynes. Travcon UK is a weekend dedicated to the Traveller Roleplaying Game, in all its many editions from...

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...

I loved Shadows of Sindal, but having said that -- I had started to explore a lot of the themes already.

Ok, I guess I have always assumed that Tukera, Ling or Schunamen might be alien run.

I think you may be being a bit blinkered. There are many sophonts that are non human in the Third Imperium. Now, unless you are running a variant humanist Empire that is prejudicial or xeophobic, those sophonts will work in the usual megacorps. There will be Bwap accountants alongside Vargr...

It's only a question of time -- we can wait -- mwha ha ha.. btw I like the Ubiquity version.

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...
