Hope you have fun with it!

Here's a link, but the details are very vague. They are a deus ex machina.

The primary mode of communication within the community was TML or the traveler mailing list, which went on for more than 20 years.

Chat GPT says rec.games.frp.traveller existed. I can't find an archive of it. It seems neither Eternal September nor Planet Usenet subscribe to it.

Google Groups bans it for some reason, which suggests it may have actually existed, as opposed to being an AI hallucination, but that's not conclusive.

I recall discussion of Traveller in 'rec.games.frp.misc'. Can't dredge up more detail than that, though.

I guess Citizens of the Imperium is the spiritual successor to whatever communities existed before.

I suspect the answer is akin to "it ain't that kind of movie, kid".

This is one of the many reasons why the lab ship design makes no sense.

The Traveller landscape is fractured enough as is. I can't envision a better future for it with this addition.

Yeah. I noticed after the fact. Oh, well.

Although I think there are some huge landmines in the road to this product, I also think it could bring a lot of people into the Traveller universe, and that could be very positive. Actually I believe that's the main reason they're doing it.

Oooh... I love Traveller but I think the D20 system is quite... bad.

Stubbornly, it's also frustrating that it sometimes feels like people refuse to learn systems that aren't Dungeons and Dragons and this seems like conceding to that point just to play a sci-fi game.

Oh that makes sense! Thanks for the response.

It hadn’t occurred to me that more people would be contributing but of course.

Of course that’s possible, but it could be that the smaller development team had a more unified approach.

Is it possible that you like 1e more because it’s “done” and not being added to?

Genuine question, I haven’t used 1e very much but I can see how having it stable for decades might reduce mental overhead (if that makes sense).

This is a fantastic bundle for $16 and I purchased it immediately.

There's also Crew Expendable from Zozer Games.

Good numbers, rubber ducky. Ya wanna sort that angry kanga asap 'fore a twitchy Knievel hits ya with that disco. I can see that Alabama chrome's slippin', li'l bear. Pull your rig off at the next pickle park if ya need a hand, 4-10?

In order to "buy" it one has to give phone number to shop.app

EDIT: I managed to not use Shop for that in the end. But it was stubborn to get my data

10-4 good buddy

Hol'up ... What.

The person is Meaghan Frye. She is awesome and the heart of TravellerCon after the death of her husband Keith.

I consider myself truly lucky to have played in one of Keith's last games at TravellerCon before his death.

That art is really cool! It says the artist is Jeff Porter.

I also found it wholesome that the person is wearing a TravellerCon 2023 shirt.

Thank you for posting!

Interesting read, thanks. Can't imagine how this actually feels to play but it sounds fun. I love sci-fi but hate resource management stuff so I'd be wanting to play out individual actions more
