In my humble opinion no RPG community is complete without a small forum to discuss the Grandfather of SF RPGs. posts and comments regarding any of the fifteen editions of the game are welcome.

Congrats! I wasn't brave enough to do it, so I ended up creating a broader community for Sci-Fi RPGs - [email protected]

I am an almost blind Luddite but will happily support every Traveller discussion.

I have one eye that works, so the one-eyed man is KING!

Traveller author here (I co-wrote the GURPS: Traveller supplements for the Sword Worlds and Interstellar Wars period). Been continuing on self-publishing using the open-license version, Cepheus Engine in recent years. Free world book here on DTRPG, its own setting but compatible with the Long Night period.

Followed the link, only to discover that I already purchased that book...

Great to hear, and thanx for the free setting. I'd love some discussions of the 2d6 mechanics, probability, and how that can affect play. I like all the discussions: crunchy (system), shiny (look and style), and fluffy (trappings and tech).

Hope this draws some fun conversations. :-)

Feel free to start some.

I've been meaning to try Traveller for ages! The Pirates of Drinax got me interested for a while, but the group fizzled out.

Hopefully I can get a game together sooner rather than later!
