    Cubicle 7 forums to close due to EU data law

    Someone has created a fan forum here. Looks quite like the original C7 forums, though there's not many users or posts yet.

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    There's a reason Dragonmeet has a harassment policy.

    Fantasy Grounds Adds Mongoose Traveller (1E) Support

    Pirates of Drinax has nine adventures in Book 1 of the campaign set, and there are six more slightly larger ones directly related to it. Some of the other material associated with it contains adventure hooks and patrons too, and it's going to be collected into a book (The Drinaxian Compendium)...

    Who is the most well known character to you? (Conan, Drizzt, Elric, Geralt)

    I know all four, and probably Conan most of the four though some of that is through other writers' efforts rather than Howard's Conan. I think I've read most of the Elric stories, around the time they came out; some but not all of the Drizzt ones; Geralt of Riva I know from the books more than...

    Is There Much Age Difference In Your RPGing Group?

    54 to 15 in my main group. I am the 54, the 15 is the child of a couple who play with us - and very much enjoys the chance to be treated as an adult by her parents.

    Adventure In The Far Future With Traveller Second Edition

    Or three, if you include the Cepheus Engine, which is using the OGL for Mongoose 1e Traveller to keep those rules going.

    How old were you when your first GMed an RPG?

    So that would have been with Classic Traveller, the original set, soon after it first came out and was available in the UK. That was 1977, so I was probably 14, gaming with some of my friends at school and wanting to try this new sci-fi game in the year Star Wars came out.

    Adventure In The Far Future With Traveller Second Edition

    I'd say that unless you're interested specifically in the Third Imperium setting (the OTU), then there's only a few books from other editions that would be useful. Which ones were useful would depend on the type of campaign. The first phases of expansion from Earth in a non-3I setting could...

    Adventure In The Far Future With Traveller Second Edition

    The earliest deck plan I can find is in JTAS #2, with the Serpent-class Scout Ship that's really not like the Suleiman's in most ways. The Suleiman has it's iconic look at least by the time of JTAS #6, where there's an article on the IISS and a cover illustration showing one. The Kinunir from...

    Adventure In The Far Future With Traveller Second Edition

    It seems a rather strange argument to me, but there are people making it. And I suppose the lack does make some difficulties for people who are used to designing their own ships in their own settings. And the other three main rulebooks for Traveller are High Guard, that you mention, with the...

    Adventure In The Far Future With Traveller Second Edition

    The only thing that's different in terms of content is that the Core Rules include a short section describing a subsector in Trojan Reach Sector which an area Mongoose are giving a lot of attention for their adventures and campaigns (Pirates of Drinax just arrived for me!), and the Starter Set...

    Your single favourite RPG book?

    Cults of Terror. I think Trollpak is better, but that's a boxed set with three books and other things so doesn't qualify as a single book. In no particular order after that since I can't restrain myself to just one, Gurps Traveller: Nobles, Shadows on the Borderlands, The Heart of the Wild...

    What are your last three RPG purchases?

    Physical items: Conan from Modiphius Star Trek from Modiphius Barbarians of Lemuria: mythic edition from Filigree Forge Electronic ones: Conan the Thief, Conan the Mercenary, Conan the Barbarian, Jewelled Thrones of the Earth, Book of Skelos - basically all the Conan supplements currently out...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why FR Is "Hated"

    If one person out of a million is level 18 and then you have twice as many at each lower level, that's a lot more than one in ten with class levels. One in four, roughly. Relevantly for this thread, it's pretty clear that FR doesn't bother to follow that rule, hugely inflating the number of...

    Full Power To The Plasma Cannons: Demoing Starfinder Combat At The UK Games Expo

    I think it would be hard to justify 'non-obvious' solutions in a space combat situation in a game where there's unlikely to be much terrain and where the situations and suggestions that might come from the players are really difficult to assess in terms of plausibility because there's the...

    Full Power To The Plasma Cannons: Demoing Starfinder Combat At The UK Games Expo

    Board game mechanics covers everything from games of counter placement on a board (Go, Carcassonne), through set collecting (Ticket to Ride), co-operatively overcoming a somewhat random enemy through use of varied powers (Pandemic, Forbidden Desert), PvP tactics and/or strategy, even semi-RPG...

    Starfinder vs Alternity vs Traveller: Which Space Game to Buy?

    How many different RPGs have you played so far this year (2017)?

    Two as part of campaigns: Traveller The One Ring Six as either one shots or testing the system: Modiphius' Star Trek Fate (specifically, Tianxia) Call of Cthulhu Pendragon - the first time I've ever actually got to play rather than run! New 7th Sea DWAITAS
