The Traveller JTAS Kickstarter is indeed for three issues (7-9) of the JTAS but worth mentioning that it included stretch goals for another three issues (10-12) all of which have been unlocked. Also only the £85 pledge, which I backed, includes the “Guide to the Starport of the Marches”. (I...

You can also develop skills and characteristics with improved gear, particularly augments and AI. Admittedly it risks turning Traveller characters into an SF equivalent of a cosmetic surgery junkie, but if these things were available for real, we would have celebrity cyborgs for sure (Arnie...

Runequest, and Gringle's Pawnshop from Apple Lane (in 2nd edition). Not the best roleplaying scenario, but a good bridge from board or skirmish games to roleplaying.

Like others, I like 7th edition i came back into the game with 6th edition, but 7th edition is far better. Also, if you've forgotten "The Haunting" (aka" The Haunted House" in 2nd ed) or playing with new players to the game, the free quickstart rules are a good place to get reacquainted...

Classic Call of Cthulhu 2" Boxed Set actually includes: “Rulebook, 1920s Sourcebook, character sheets, cut-outs, world map, plus 5 supplements.” On DCC Dying Earth Kickstarter “For fans of Jack Vance’s work and DCC, this is a perfect combination” unless you live outside the US and find the...

There are damage scaling rules (p.157 of MgT2e core rule book), so you could apply a tenth of the damage to the ship every time a personal missile attack missed the individual. Don’t apply armour protection unless fighting in an area that warrants it, and apply the effects of sustained damage if...

For sure, one looks better, but from a practical point of view, it’s more likely that the first picture someone sees will attract interest if it shows a setting that that viewer is interested in. That is more likely with the five.

Loved that film, but I guess Spider-man: Homecoming (which I haven’t seen) might be a better benchmark for how this film might turn out.

The whole group (bar one) used to play Megatraveller. That said, I intend to do as you suggest and start the campaign with a couple of smaller adventures before getting into Drinax, to loosen our atrophied Traveller muscles (last played in 2014).

I intend to get that too. As Drinax is a sandbox campaign, I’ll no doubt be able to dip into it fairly regularly.

Nothing currently, but used to play Traveller and MegaTraveller and have just ordered the Monsoon Traveller 2e core rule books, a campaign (Pirates of Drinax) and the Journals (of the Travellers Aid Society, a Traveller magazine), so I guess I’ll be running that soon enough.

Dunno what you're talking about. That was a simply a point about expanding the rule mechanic to allow for voting on three options.

There are three options, so it would need a second preference vote (as should have happened for EU referendum). That’s not catered for in the current rules. Scope perhaps for a Mogg Companion? Although, probably wouldn’t go down well with his wife or his unwavering Catholicism.

I think we should have a vote on whether mob rule is a Brexit thing, a socialist thing or neither. Happily, there’s a voting mechanic in the game itself (and, as an added side benefit, a preview for you, John).

Any game about Brexit that “explores the ramifications of mob rule democracy, the frailty of hope, the banality of evil” has to be good. I bought it.

Looks good, but as I GM mainly Call of Cthulhu 1920s era and Traveller, I’ll wait until they develop tools for SF and contemporary settings.
