This Kickstarter (which I backed): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/solarcrawl/solarcrawl-osr-exploration-in-a-fantastic-space-age/description Is very adjacent to Pioneer, it's a system agnostic hex crawl that involves the exploration of a solar system over time. The game proceeds in two...

What I hadn't realised is that the DGP Task system was lifted and adapted for the first edition of 2300AD (Traveller: 2300AD, 1986) including uncertain tasks. The mechanic is adapted to 2300's 1D10 system, however. The DGP guys are actually credited in the Referee's book front matter:

Any chance some of this material might appear in a JTAS issue?

Vacc-cleaner? Now you're just making stuff up!

No Classic Traveller collection?

This is amazing, thanks for your hard work. Ideally, Mongoose would commission these tools and release them alongside crunch books like the WBH, Highguard, Robots etc. A tool like this is more useful than the artwork in some of these books.

An interesting, and really well-written piece. I love his voice. J

One thing that struck me is that we need one or both of: Striker III - a miniatures war game ruleset for the Fifth frontier war. Currently, I'm dusting off Striker I, printed out one of Ben's 1:270 broadsword cruisers, 2 matching modular cutters and have 6mm minis and vehicles from GZG to...
