Traveller Release Schedule 2024

Also, new JTAS Kickstarter very (very!) soon!

nothing more sad than the sound of grown up burned out shells of men crying.... like I'll be able to pass up getting hard covers but knowing that I'll be really paying out the nose to go back and get the 12 I had only got in PDF's over the last couple of months.

Additions are great aren't they.. there is no halfwaying them. Either all in... or all out is what I liked to say when drinking deep from the chalice of life when I was young and could handle being a walking talking chemistry experiment.

and 3 more days!! woo hoo...
 
I see that the Core Expeditions were moved to November. Well, a good expedition has to remember about the 7P's, so take your time and give us a good tour.
But I have to ask - how is Singularity coming?
 
yeah... Singularity is the one that keeps me awake at night staring at the ceiling in a cold sweat and short of breath...
 
I am looking forward to Core Expeditions. I see the Zhodani as entirely driven towards this activity. Children at school marvel at history and are collectively educated and directed towards jobs that are wholly supportive of the latest expedition. Workers are directed to projects that have collective benefit to the latest expedition. Project plans that span sectors are driven for the benefit of the latest expedition. It is all discussed on state media, which everyone watches. Think the Apollo program on steroids for centuries of cultural development.

They have purpose, they have passion, we are all one. An entire culture working towards one goal.
 
Soviet space art is the feeling for the Core expeditions. Hopeful, optimistic explorers who are doing this for the collective benefit of Humaniti. Bold adventurers who are pointing out into the far distance. You are part of a culture that is forward facing, growing towards a great future. We will rise as one nation to greet the core cultures. It will be a defining moment for Charted Space. You can play your part, support your project, serve the consulate.

How much of that is the propaganda of the Psionic Oligarchy and whether the day to day reality is more humdrum. The storygame Apollo 47, where you play an astronaut but life is mundane and the thrill of newness has gone. The IT crowd is the story of characters who are stuck in a generic corporation. How about being assigned to an expedition service depot that is on the expedition route but rarely receives visitors.

I am thinking of the comedy Nightingales, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098874/ "High up in a deserted office block, three night security guards - Sarge, Carter and Bell - find their peaceful jobs constantly disturbed." Or Red Dwarf https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094535/.
 
You do know there would have been a teaser by now if it were due tomorrow...
(crosses fingers and hopes reverse psychology works)
 

that's awesome.. so much so I'll even try to ignore the ringing of Bon Jovi in my ears... urrgg..

and yeah... that has template written all over it.

Assume we are getting a book with this... but this could have easily been a multi-book boxset. A book alone could have been creative overload and just detailing a bunch of outlaws and that voodoo.. that they do.... SO WELL!!!

Perhaps if it is a big hit.. we will see well supported. Supplements, adventures, even a campaign. This really is a creatively fertile subject to mine. Anyhow.. will be up and checking the site before the crack of dawn hoping to see it ready to be pre-ordered and can ignore the phones and email at work reading this tomorrow. A good Traveller Friday workday... drawing the blinds and putting everything on out of office
 
I guess this thread is primarily about PDF releases, so please forgive me as I'm not sure where else to ask this: any idea when the hardcovers slated for July (previously June) are coming in? I'm keen to get my hands on The Deep and The Dark, and Aliens 4, but I'd rather fold them into my planned order of in-stock items then make two separate orders.

I was waiting for those to come out in print before ordering as well. I'm not sure about Aliens 4 but some chap posted a comment about the Deep and Dark book itself yesterday on Reddit.. so assume that has gone out to customers. So I finally dropped the order I had been sitting on for that and Aliens 4 figuring if that one wasn't out yet it was probably very soon behind it.

Aliens 4 is sadly one of the most useless books I have. I'd much rather have had 3-4 pages on dozens of alien races than 266 pages on 4 quite boring (IMHO) races.

FWIW, mine arrived last week, but I'm near a major shipping hub in the US, so I sometimes get things early.
