    Traveller 5e coming from World's Largest RPG in cooperation with Mongoose Publishing

    GURPS Traveller kept the setting alive in the 90s and early oughts, so I think it can work with other systems. But... Traveller 5E is a tough sell in a world where Starfinder, Esper Genesis, the Voidrunner Codex, and probably a bunch of stuff I don't know about exists... let alone Mothership...

    Traveller 5e coming from World's Largest RPG in cooperation with Mongoose Publishing

    Here's a take. I don't know if it's a correct take, but here we go: Because the 5E SRDs are released under a CC-BY-4.0 license, making content for this hypothetical Traveller 5E so long as you don't use IP that's owned by Mongoose Publishing has less restrictions on it than making content for...

    Story of my life (the not being able to type part), my sympathies. I am really keen to see how this Kickstarter does next year as a barometer for how 5E is doing generally!

    Traveller: the iconic science fiction roleplaying game

    I'm a day late to the show, long time and usual lurker. I'm a year and a half into a Pirates of Drinax home campaign, and I've completed two six-month campaigns for a local FLGS using the latest incarnation of Mongoose's rules. I don't have a long history with the genre or system and only...

    Looking for tips on FLGS & Gaming in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

    Long time member, usual lurker, that sort of stuff. I moved to West Allis a year and a half ago. I run an every-other-week online 5E game for a group of friends, but the past couple of months I've done some light poking around in local groups and shops to see if there were any organized groups...
