Yes, and I am in that choir, btw. If I have to choice between rules mechanics that make a game playable versus make a game realistic, I will take playable every day of the week and twice on Sunday. .... but I am not talking about rules mechanics. I am talking about the look and feel of the...

I did not mean "realistic" purely on it's own, as if among Traveller players you could get any to agree on what was realistic and what was not. I meant "more realistic" and is it not that? Moreover, is that not the point of the game? I mean, here are the marketing comments made in the KS "If...

Or you could even use "Impressionistic Realism" instead of Photographic Realism. Google that and pull up images and you will see a bunch of what I am talking about. The point is... the RPG is realistic. On some level so should the artwork be to compliment it. I have not read the Pioneer...

the composition of the image; the child, the observation of the launch, harkens back to my own childhood when I wished I was there to see the Saturn V launches. It also harkens back for me personally watching in person the launch of the last successful mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia on...

On it's own, there is nothing wrong with the art. In fact, I would say the art would be great in the Traveller charted space universe. I actually love the cartoon quality especially for Pirates of Drinax. The physical composition of the art is very good... for what it is. For Pioneer, I was...

Artwork is not something I normally care about nor comment on but from what I have seen in the Pioneer PDF from the kickstarter, I feel I should comment before it is too late. thankfully it does not seem like the art is locked in yet. Page 10: Child watching launch from shoulders of parent...

Right? As I have said, A scout courier with a single beam laser is more OP than a PC in BD, yet the PC world is awash with 100, 200 even 400 ton ships that PC's have with multiple turrets of usually double or better and starship weaponry that could level a squad of troops in BD in a heartbeat.

The original post was mainly about a hack for published PDF's from Mongoose of the Traveller rule books. If you are publishing your own PDF's just by printing to PDF and you seem to have an aversion to using Adobe to adjust page numbers, then this might not be the post for you. That said, it...

Wait... how did it get into MSWord? When the LEGAL copy that I am sure you have, must have come from a PDF originally?

Honestly, as a fellow GM, I have never understood what I call "GM BD Phobia", the fear of players having Battledress. Every GM that has it seems to think they have to consistently trip up their players from getting it, or in an almost vengeful way, make sure that if they get it, then in their...

Ship Shares... what the heck are they and why do they exist? Yes, I know the rules as written. I know those backwards and forwards. Please don't post rules clarifications unless you see I have made a mistake because I am pretty sure I know what the rules are. But what ARE ship shares? Not...

Not necessarily. Yes, in the case of something obvious already in our real world, like computer power and miniaturization, but in cases where, for game balance, the higher TL should come at a greater price, then for game balance reasons, make it higher. If one argues that this is not...

So a TL20 Rail Gun that costs zero tonnage? There'd be no room for the railgun ammo! You're not wrong though. TL+3 max should be stated explicitly.

Sure but I think I would feel a bit naked and blind if I was out in possibly hostile space and my Sensop couldn't bring at least +4 or better to his roll with everything added up. That's on the low end. Best would be skill of 4, with an expert, and a skill augment and a INT of 12 for total of...

Where is that rule?
