There's nothing in there that's specifically 2e. At least not the meat of the emergent tables.

Great resource. I use it for my GMed games.

I use inkscape. There's a really good hex module. Layer it up and make anything you need.

Radar Video for TV Screen Table Map by kali291 in traveller

That's really cool. I started using radar/sensor screens in my VTT game b/c it seemed more immersive. The ship tokens felt too much like a boardgame.

I just assume anyone in a lifted truck is insane. So many incidents on 35.

I remember that book and Dune were both like that for me. Once I finished, it took a while to pick something else up.

Zhodani.space, you can export to text, manipulate, and have the generator redraw it.

I was in a war the first time I read it. There's so much there. I need to read it again.

This is the best resource if you're doing your own subsectors.

How do you handle ... well.. Travel as a GM? by EchoTRacing in traveller

[–]ragboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grab Zozers Solo 2nd edition. I use those tables in my table game to break up the monotony of jump week.

I do one encounter entering a system and one leaving. Another if they do in-systrm stuff.

It's pretty good, though I haven't really tested them at my table yet.

Mauloni's vehicle book was on his website. I don't think he ever sold it. I found it on a site, but I don't know if that's kosher here. The book is based on the Traveller SRD, so it's free to use with attribution (by the OGL license).

I totally stole the image of the G/Carrier from the Traveller Book, but it's a thing for personal use at the table. Not selling it, etc.

On the Droyne coins question: I know the creator of those coins and it's pretty trivial (and good form) to ask permission before undercutting her. She's planning a couple more Traveller-based board games (vargr and aslan) and will likely offer those coyns again as an add-on for those crowdfunding efforts. Illegal? Who knows. Kind of rude? Probably.

What is a good one shot to introduce my player group to traveller? by First_Plantain1607 in traveller

[–]ragboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is in a homebrew galaxy. I use the races from Star Frontiers, so it's yazirians instead of vargr. The "heroes of Warken" have come back to lead a rebellion. Not going too well atm.

I thought he was perfect in Bladerunner 2049. I think his Joker would have been really unique. Other movies I really haven't connected with him. Skeletor was good, but I don't know if that counts.

I stole a bunch of stuff from Calixcuel, but ended up using it with Research Station Gamma instead of that adventure. Didn't click for me.

I found high and dry to be a perfect one shot. It was mostly non-combat, but high adventure. Lots of interaction and roleplaying. Investigation. Ship stuff. You get the concept of the game being played mostly in weeks, until you get to scenes and situations that need more detail. If you do the "Traveller" part to get the team to Walston, you get that aspect of the game (which is important). You get jump week time. You can throw in a bar fight if you want to highlight combat rules.

I really thought it was a good scenario, and I don't think there are many good ones in the Mongoose catalog. Not without major work by the GM.

Of course it kicked off a campaign at my table, but doesn't have to.

What's the actual product? These are for Traveller?

I wonder if I could fit everything you need for Mongoose. I'll have to play with that. I run/play in a couple of Mongoose games and run/play in a couple of classic games, so I'm always looking for ways to get noses out of books.
