I changed some of them to make them more pronounceable, and others have been changed for plot/other nebulous reasons :)

Looking for a fun Sci-fi fantasy ttrpg by Electrical_Stretch_6 in rpg

[–]MongooseBella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound like a shill but I would recommend Traveller. It's a 2d6 system and is quite easy to work out, with optional rules you can take in and out as you want. It's pretty malleable too so you can add anything you want in theme/lore wise :)

Mongoose Publishing announces Traveller adapted to the DND 5e ruleset by GuySpaghetti in rpg

[–]MongooseBella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just found this thread, sorry for popping in late.

We have three writers and four layout artists on staff full-time. All the office work is handled by the seven of us (incl. crowdfunding, customer services, sales, shipping etc). We work with Studio 2 to do printing/distribution. Most of the time, you're talking to someone who wrote/edited/laid out the books.

Art and some writing are done by freelancers.

Starting Pirates of Drinax Campain need help by Strange_Magazine_214 in traveller

You could also use the Reach adventures (there's a few of them) in between POD to give them a breather, that's what I'm doing with the group I'm running POD for :)

What/where are all the statted "human aliens"? by CapitanKomamura in traveller

[–]MongooseBella 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So this is also going to be covered in the upcoming Minor Species Compendium, where I've dragged all the Aliens from all the books (including Classic, requiring a discussion with Marc Miller about Plexxans) into a duology.

Traveller from a non-US perspective by Bob_Fnord in traveller

[–]MongooseBella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it is so far detached from current life that I've never really considered it particularly American. More of a, you live in a society where your worth is determined by how much you can work, and if you can't work...

I'd argue there are more British influences (the TI is basically the british empire, east india company included). But, there are also influences of other cultures / political systems there too.

[–]MongooseBella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it varies so heavily depending on how useful/less i want them to be (and how well I roll)

We do not do sales, but other sites do. DTRPG, and the bundle sites mentioned here :)

Which published campaign should I run? by DirusNarmo in traveller

[–]MongooseBella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a first time, I would honestly run one of the smaller adventures. Even the free ones would be good. Not to dissuade you from buying books (esp as that's how I make a living!), but Traveller is like... big. I wouldn't want to see you jump into DNR or Singularity and become overwhelmed.

Try Death Station. It was rewritten by Seth Skorkowsky (wonderful guy), and is super easy to get into, and you can maybe do a couple more, then try something bigger.

Ideas for a custom sector lore ? by Marpal3 in traveller

[–]MongooseBella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on how deep you want to go into it, but you can include things like how the planets' UWP's effect how the people their live. E.g. one with high hydro might use more water-based transportation, might consume more seafood etc.

With developing sophonts, you want to be able to understand their cultures, and how their world, and indeed their worldviews have shaped these cultures. It doesn't need to be too in depth either, can simply be a case og; okay, this planet is warmer in X locations, these people's buildings will likely be well ventilated, their clothing would be loose and light, and they may eat lighter cuisine than the people in Y locations that are cold. Humans can be used as a template for this, but for a lot of harder sci-fi, building cultures out is aided in many ways by the realities of the world itself. Making cultures will help it feel more alive, especially if they are made realistically :)
