New Traveller has Questions

Empty said:
Setting -- The main rulebooks has very little setting of GM info. Is there a "Referee Guide" of some sort? I'd like some more info about the 3rd Imperium. I read online that there is no FTL communication, is this true? (I hope so: I love this idea and use it in my homebrewed SF games). If it is true, how do traders pay their mortgage monthly? They can't "wire" the money, do they have to travel back to civilisation every month to hand the bank a cheque? With at least a week's travel out to the fringes and back, that doesn't leave a lot of time to make 12,000cr.

I really like Traveller and want to play it. I could, of course, house-rule these concern, but I'd like to get the official answers first. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Cheers,

Take a look at Stellar Reaches: http://stellarreaches.nwgamers.org/issues/

A free webzine that gives you plenty of adventures, background and an entire Traveller sector to base your adventures in. The price is good too... :)

Good luck.
