All of you have NO EXCUSE to not be playing a 2d6 sci-fi game when you have things like Night Trippers out there making it SO DAMN EASY.

Dungeons & Dragons isn't about tactical combat or storytelling or found-family or whatever, it's about opening different kinds of doors.

This is something I've been, somewhat unsuccessfully, convey to everyone about how Traveller is a game about a mixture of your very tangible prep and the oracular chaos of play. Idraluna's quadrants covers this perfectly! And his campaign taught me a lot about how CT is played and run!

The best new blog around is now putting out material for Classic Traveller??? 2026 IS THE YEAR OF CLASSIC TRAVELLER AND EACH SUBSEQUENT YEAR ONLY MAKES IT STRONGER. "44. A small, black box with a single red button. The vendor does not know what it does, and they are too terrified to press it."

I finally did all the tooth pulling required to consolidate my Classic Traveller '77 rules for the open table I've been running for the past six months. With 3-5 active groups and dozens of one offs it's been pretty busy! hackmd.io/@oldhawkeyes... I am very thankful for every player I've had!

Traveller is one of the first science-fiction TTRPGs. Released in 1977 it has had a lively history of releases and editions. We are playing the 1977 version of the game.

If you ever struggled with trying to learn how to play OD&D then you have to read the Littlest Brown Book. It clarifies and explains so much of the hard to parse information of the originals. It is also very funny.
