Should 2300AD have it's own discussion forum here?

[Bryn the 2300AD guy]

I was wondering, given that other games using Hanrahan's Traveller engine have their own fora here, like Dark Conspiracy, should 2300AD be separated from the Traveller forum?

 

[Anstett]

I would say yes. It is a separate channel on the Mongoose Discord.

 

[MasterGwydion]

I would also say yes. It deserves it.

 

[Terry Mixon]

I concur. It is separate from Traveller and should have a dedicated forum for its adherents.

 

[Sigtrygg]

Yes, yes it should.

 

[ottarrus]

Yes.

 

[mortal]

Also yes

 

[boggo2300]

Also yes

was extremely surprised when I got here that it didn't

so yes

 

[Ewan]

I would say yes

 

[sentinel]

Yes

 

[Numbers0to1]

Yes

 

[Regnarts]

I think it should

I opened a poll on this:

Thread 'A poll for a 2300AD forum'

Jul 3, 2025

In light of Bryn asking this I though a poll would be nice.

I understand that a lot of the conversation around the development of 2300 is on a Facebook group? As someone who left Facebook behind years ago I would ask not only why 2300 does not have a distinct forum here, but also why the main conversation about the development of the line is not happening here.

Just my 2c

Don't ask me I've never ever logged on to Facebook, and had no idea important discussions about 2300 were on such a limited discussion forum

 

[sda5691]

Yeah, that would work.

There are multiple places that discussion happen and they reach different groups of people. There are some folks who are on discord, facebook, these forums, twitter, CotI, reddit, and bluesky. But I suspect that most folks are on only one or two or none of those.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 2300 facebook group existed long before Mongoose was doing anything official with the product. The 2300 fanbase certainly predates Mongoose and it certainly appears that the freelancer who does most of the 2300 development doesn't spend a lot of time posting here.

Having been part of 2300AD discussion groups since the end of the last century I can confirm that these have been on both Facebook and the old Yahoo groups. Swy what you will about the inconsistencies of both the original GDW material or what Mongoose n has offered since, he easiest way to deal with these is "what does your referee/DM say?"
