Singularity Kickstarter - 3 Days Left

[MongooseLiv]

Just 3 days left until the end of The Singularity Kickstarter! If you haven’t checked it out yet, we want to tell you some more about it.

Singularity is an epic campaign that takes your Travellers to places they never imagined they would – or could – go; the throneworld of Capital, the vast archives of Reference, and the opulent worlds of the Sylean Main. As the campaign kicks into high gear, they travel by means never thought possible, leaving the Core behind for the distant reaches of Charted Space.

Coming in three stunning hardbacks, Singularity delves into the ethics and implementation of artificial intelligence, the nature of humanity and how these might coexist and change perception of reality.

You can check out the first 50 pages of the Singularity Sourcebook for free right now on the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jtas3/traveller-rpg-the-singularity-campaign

If you want to spark more interest, do a reveal of some new things that will be in the companion to get us excited. I’m already pledged but someone on the fence might see something that makes it more tempting.

 

[Sigtrygg]

And offer the full companion in digital form.

 

[Condottiere]

Will there be one?

Suggest, less Traveller Companion, more ShadowRun Companion.

Suggest, less Traveller Companion, more ShadowRun Companion.

More Drinaxian Companion.

And as things stand, if you are on the digital pledge level, you are already getting all the material destined for the printed Companion.

So, if Kickstarter pays on Saturday, will we get the Sourcebook over the weekend or on Mondayish?

 

[MongooseMatt]

It never pays on Saturday I am guessing Wednesday or Thursday, but we will see.

Better to know and not obsess about it, so thanks.

Obsessive Terry here, @MongooseMatt. It’s Wednesday, so will we see the sourcebook today or will it be tomorrow?

EDIT: Can't be today, so I'll hope for tomorrow. I hope it happens before I wake up in the US because that would mean a full day of digging into it.

 

[MongooseMatt]

We are currently having an argument with Kickstarter over downloading backer details (something to do with the late pledge system, but we are getting technical on it, may not be an actual issue). However, I _think_ we have extracted email addresses, so (all going well), the sourcebook will be going out later today, and Act 1 early next week (just waiting for some art to roll in).

Just waiting for Abby to roll in this morning

 

[Sigtrygg]

There are not enough happy Smilies for this

 

[G'Naakbusters]

Got the sourcebook.

 

[Sigtrygg]

See you in an hour with comments

Skim reading from page 50ish onwards - the new stuff in the x-boat chapter, and the artwork are excellent.

I am gobsmacked by the consciousness transfer chapter - this is going to have ramifications way beyond this campaign

note to the powers that be - page 89 has an embedded note from the author with a graphic request...

Into the sim is almost exactly what i thought, but a lot more - much like the consciousness transfer chapter this will have applications way beyond this campaign

<aside> consciousness transfer and into the sim could be expanded into sourcebooks for generic sci fi, I would even suggest that the into sim should be core rulebook stuff.

This campaign is a must buy

I’m looking at the ship description starting in detail on page 28. I think the shading indicating Velos-only features have been misapplied.

 

[wmarshal]

The ship has a crew listing of 15 positions to be split by 7 staterooms. I’m guessing that some state rooms will be sleeping 3 to a room. Three of those state rooms will be unavailable at certain times. I take it care must be taken to assign the PCs to the remaining 4 staterooms at the start.

 

[Sigtrygg]

Do androids need staterooms - clue number one.

 

[MasterGwydion]

Do androids need staterooms - clue number one.

Only if you want them to appear as sophonts.

 

[Sigtrygg]

One of the first clues for the PCs to pick up on - not enough staterooms, are the crew hotbunking?
