Prime Directive Traveller

It's a primer for anyone interested in the SFU. It isn't game specific and tries to describe concepts in everyday language. :)
 
Unlikely. It will be out first in American - we may have to wait for an English translation! :lol:

Ok - time for me to run away methinks!!
 
Rick!!!! :D

I'm afraid I am fluent in "American" although I can easily translate from English. :)

It's basically done now except for the footers being changed. We'll have to do some massaging to add the advertisements (if it is free, then you certainly have to get ads) and then compile it to send it to e23. When it comes out, I'll let you know.

In the meantime, SVC and I will be having Traveller Tuesdays where we work on what Mike and I have accomplished all week long. :) I'm excited about it all.

With all of this talk of languages, with all due respect, you wont allow the texts to be tainted with "Texan" I hope.

I'm not sure I understand your accent - are you trying to say, "Beggin' your pardon, but y'all'll make sure your books follow proper writin' rules, I reckon?".

:twisted:

... y'all'll ...
I hear this quite often from our cat, but I was not
aware that it is Texan ... :shock:

Sadly, I hear that with some frequency. "you all will", pronounced roughly "yawl ' ul" (note the glottal stop). Sometimes it sounds more like "yalla", as in "Y'all'll have to come over for a beer some time".
 
The US has a lot of local variety in dialects. I can't guarantee that some colloquialisms haven't crept in as my North Carolina ones would sound "normal" to me. But yes, I do try to make sure that standard English (as written in the US) predominates.

Wey a didn't notice anything funny about yer accent. :mrgreen:


Jean, really looking forward to seeing what you do with PDTraveller. I'm an old-time, lapsed SFB player, who mostly only has time for RPGs these days.
 
<giggle> You brightened my day. :D

Stuck on the bus and it is running very late. Looks like I'll lose a day of work to it. Traveller Tuesday reports may be light this week.

It isn't from a product tied to Traveller, as such; but if you want to get an artistic representation of what Marines in the Federation look like, here's the (in-development) front cover of an upcoming ADB ground combat game.

They kinda look like some marines from the last time the marine minis failed... (not that minis are promised AFAIK)

I have a bunch of them from last time, but this time I'd actually like something different from the art, even if there were no miniatures. I'd rather see armour more 60s, maybe based on the classic vacc suit, but hardened. If a bit later, like the football armour from the movies.

Marine minis? For which system? From which manufacturer?? Inquiring gamers want to know!!

Task Force Games (then they went to Harlequinn, now Black Tree Designs). There was some talk of an SFB Marines game IIRC quite a while ago, and they were part of the minis line for it. It never saw fruition then. I don't think they are available any more, but then, they weren't that good - the weapons were more Starship Troopers (movie not book) than Star Trek. I have photos of them in the gallery of the Star Trek minis Yahoo group (check my sig).
