I keep forgetting that one.... When is the Traveller (Meaning 2d6, 8+, etc.. etc...) coming out?

Infojunky said:As I stated Posthuman games are possible and somewhat supported by the Standing rules sets and backgrounds, the fact of the matter is both the specific settings of Traveller, the 3rd Imperium and Traveller:2300 have strict gatekeepers guarding what becomes background.
Possibly. We should ask.Also note I don't know how far past Tech Level 15 Mongooses license can stretch as that is an area being actively explored by T5.
With that I would love to see another stab at the topic in light of what has been produced. In light of further comments one might want to build a new Tech Scale Metric to support ones efforts as they fork from the core settings. (Hint, I generally use a verbal scale of Low Tech, High Tech and Advanced Tech to describe variations from the norm)

100% true. I think what people are asking for (at least as far as I can see) is to have a consolidated ruleset that not only pulls out the transhuman parts that are already in Traveller, but adds in more - I don't know that Traveller handles resleeving all that well, nor ubiquitous computing.
Ataraxzy said:Those parts might be there, but a book gives players all of that without doing the work of yanking all that out of the rule books and coordinates them in a way to give them a way to integrate everything into a cohesive whole.
Prime_Evil said:Personally, I'd like to see the core rulebook provide a generic foundation for constructing a variety of SF settings and then a line of individual splatbooks to cover popular subgenres - space opera, military SF, transhumanism, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic settings, etc. There could also be sourcebooks covering key technologies or concepts in depth - we already have these for cybernetics, robotics, psionics, and space stations. It would be great to extend this line with books on other common SF concepts such as biotech, nanotech, terraforming, megastructures, time travel, etc. The aim would be to provide GMs who want to build a homebrew setting a toolkit that can be used to design whatever they like. The Third Imperium, 2300 AD, and Judge Dredd product lines would provide detailed working examples of how to use the tools at hand. They also offer pre-made campaign settings for those who don't feel the urge to start from scratch.
Infojunky said:I find myself looking back over the span of GURPs 3rd edition books covering SF themes and wishing they were a little easier to convert to 8+ on 2d6. So I believe there might be room for such things in the Mongoose iteration of Traveller....
It would indeed be very nice to see such a book on their list.donm61873 said:Talking (!) to Matthew today about Mongoose Traveller and then I see this.
Please tell me someone submitted a proposal for a Mongoose Traveller transhuman supplement. I know I am not the person to write it, but I'm darned interested in helping see that come to life...
Infojunky said:My question is what would y'all want to see covered said book?
After a serious dive into both the Mongoose and 13Mann Robots books and both their related weaknesses showing through, I think a revamp of the Computer rules is in order. 13Mann has a great basic idea, but it needs some cleaning up.
