Proud owner of Amber Diceless, here. I would argue that there are particular reasons why diceless works for it. First of all, the characters are really, really powerful, which means they can essentially do anything they want unless challenged by somebody else. Secondly, the system is based on...

I do know that the promotional discussion at the time was that Marc’s T5 was set to be the ‘advanced’ version of the Traveller game being published by Mongoose. However, MGT1 was written by Gareth Hanrahan, and was open play-tested throughout the design process. From the very word go, the rule...

Greg Lee’s work was Cirque for T5 wasn’t it? Well, T5 was always exempt, because it was Marc Miller’s personal work. SJGames were given dispensation after MGT1’s licence to make Interstellar Wars as their last publication for Traveller, and the entire line has been available in PDF form for a...

Well he signed it and then, guess what, he signed another contract 8 years later. Who’d have thought that a business paying for a licence on a IP would want to have an exclusivity clause? How dastardly! And you know, seeing as you can still access and buy every single version of Traveller...

Good. We are in agreement. We can move on.

So you are angry, then? It may be worth putting the context of my comments with those others who have been commentating here about Mongoose Traveller, and the licensing arrangement thereof. I didn’t say, for the record, that people using open source rules are doing anything underhand. By the...

Are you psychic?! This discussion has occurred, as far as I am aware, on this forum only at the moment. It may have been discussed on other forums previously, but again, as far as I am aware I haven’t discussed it personally for....years? It was a topic on rpgpub a couple of years ago which...

I’m not angry. I am pointing out to people on this thread that their views about Mongoose Traveller are misguided. If they are going to use the Cepheus Engine as a stick to beat Mongoose Traveller with, then it is perfectly reasonable to point out that the Cepheus Engine wouldn’t exist without...

Not an issue of taste. People have indicated their objection already on this thread. The details of each contract signed for each respective license were signed off by Marc, not just Mongoose, and if people have issues with the nature of changes between each edition's license, they should...

You do understand that Marc Miller chooses who he gives his license to, no? You do realize that it is merely an opinion what constitutes ‘best written for Traveller ever', yes? This is the most idiotic criticism on this thread to date.

Don’t forget to mention Orks. You can play Orks.

Tell Jason from me, if I want to play Classic Traveller, I’ll play Classic Traveller. If I want a cheap knock off, which can’t be bothered to pay royalties, I’ll let him know.

Yep got my update - for free! You have to respect and appreciate what Cubicle 7 have done here.

I had it - it’s currently with another of my group who likes Gumshoe, and we’ll see how the game goes when he runs it. Exceptional production standards, with properly bound books, good quality paper and a wrap-around case, that is all quite sturdy. It’s built to last. For me personally, I was...

Not your Granddad’s Warhammer, and to be honest I haven’t a clue about the setting, but a nice layout yet again from Cubicle 7.

Why wouldn’t he? I mean they may even remember to pay him next time.

Why can’t they just bring back Stormbringer.....?

Why do they need to capitalize You and Use?

Darker Hue is Chris Spivey, isn’t it? Anyway, my understanding according to the announcement, that he is wrapped up as part of the team writing Modiphius’ Dune for the time being.

Well, no. What it is, that I mentioned before, is identifying the undercurrent of misguided hatred towards Mongoose Publishing that exists. When people feel the need to refer to them as ’nu-mong’ it is both sad and childish, and shrill too, if you prefer. I don’t think you know that game very...
