State of the Mongoose 2025

[TrippyHippy]

Also, the suggestion of getting a Traveller: Star Wars license isn’t just a trite request for a popular setting to be adapted (it is that too, of course!). It is, symbolically a statement of intent from Mongoose that they can reach out to a much, much larger audience and potentially, a massively increased market for the Traveller brand as a whole by association. It would be saying, in effect, that Traveller is practically as ‘big' as D&D.

The fact that they both share the same 50th Anniversary is also a boon. The modern Traveller system can easily handle the setting (as has been shown with unofficial fan versions) and I don’t believe any other company is really doing anything with Star Wars roleplaying currently.

True but some good old corruption and noble nepotism is okay.

And remember, corruption is defined by culture...

To a degree, perhaps.

Let's ask Heinlein:

But you haven't learned yet that when in Rome, you shoot Roman candles. Every tribe has its customs and what is moral one place is immoral somewhere else. There are races where a son's first duty is to kill off his old man and serve him up as a feast as soon as he is old enough to swing it - civilized races too.

Let's ask Heinlein:

I think you are confusing Corruption with Immorality. You can be Immoral, but not Corrupt. Corruption is a violation of your society's moral and ethical codes. What is "considered" moral or immoral is not relevent. All that is needed for something to be Corrupt is to violate societal agreements. That can occur in both moral and immoral societies.

Let's ask Heinlein:

I’ll stand by what I said.

Well, change the question then (?) because that is the answer.

? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Traveller sales declined after Megatraveller changed it?

Not changed the rules but put out a product so bad it was unusable. It was a person who was really high on LSD produced the final printed product. Whole groups of people who were buying and playing Traveller stopped doing so because of that.

? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

You not making a valid point - that is the point. Anyway, enjoy the ignored status.

It was a person who was really high on LSD

Do you mean a person did such a bad job that you would describe it as such, or do you mean a person under the influence of LSD produced the final product?
