Whooooo Hooooooooooo I was just informed that Mongoose Publishing will be accepting a submission I made.

I have been working on getting more of my material in proper order to submit. I put together a packet of deck plans, illustrations, NPCs and Plot seeds for the Traveller game....and it was accepted for publishing.

I don't know what it the will be using it for, either a supplement or a magazine article..but I am very happy to have my work recognized as worth publication.

That's awesome! Congratulations!

Yeah it is,It's very satisfying to finally get published.... but you go no idea how much brain burn it involves...

Congratulations!

Congratulations on being published! Real life/work has kept me away for a while. Will try to post soon! Just wanted to let you all know I am still here!

hi guys, friendly neighbourhood tech guy / robomedic here.

Robo-medic...Yayyyyy...hey doc I have this tick in my secondary synaptic motivator it give me this funny wiggle sometimes...Not that I mind but it seems to distract some of the Marines.

lol. Poppy. hi Melcor welcome to teh game!

Also happy forth of July! I you celebrate the holiday enjoy the fireworks!

Welcome sentient! Much greetings upon you!

Welcome Melcor, we definitely have need of you on this team.

Poppy, LOL too funny:)

Happy Fourth for all who celebrate!

Hi Melcor!

So now we have all kinds of medical personnel and it would be awkward for Leo to jump back in.

Hey guys just wanted to apologise in advance, my responses may be a little sporadic for a short time as I have no internet at home for a week or so. I can only check things in the morning at work, though rest assured I'm still about lol

Oh and Leo, I definitely wouldn't class Melcor as medical personnel, he's all technician (with a little splash of steely eyed dealer of death) lol

That's a metal medic. Artifolk are people too... Most of the time anyhow.  Leo's place in the party is 170% asswhoop, 80% beefcake(omeada flavor), 25% can opener, 25% dance machine.

Yeah that's 300% but really who wants less than that?

Ok, so if you're "170% asswhoop, 80% beefcake(omeada flavor), 25% can opener, 25% dance machine" where's the medical part come in? :)

Twitch is 33% medic, 33% surgeon, 33% insect, and 1% speech impaired. He's only 100% but that's all he's got to give.

Okay contract just signed..I can now officially unviel that I was given a commission from Mongoose publishing to do a catalog of ships, NPCs, and adventure seeds to go with the Traveller world...

I haven't convinced anyone to publish this game world yet..but getting my first contract is making me giggle like an idiot.

a few of you have earned a place in my world..

K'mahda, and Ar'Damina Families will be one of my manufacturing groups..and I plan on modifying a few to fit Traveller rules for NPCs..with your permission of course.

I've also considered modifying the Crow for use in Traveller :D

Congratulations Prometheus! I think it calls for a celebration so please enjoy yourself! I look forward to hearing more about things as they develop. ^_^ Will the crow include Aziza. ^_~

Well Aziza may have to become an Aslan to fit in to the Traveller universe. but if she is okay with it yeah I may include one paranoid hypochondriac Aslan

Congrats! That's awesome news!

It is great news, Prometheus.  Many congratulations.

Hmmm... Aziza could also be a Hiver instead.  I believe that they are hexapods...  I think that paranoia and hypochondria in either race would be hilarious.  Hivers are supposed to be stellar scientists and engineers...

lol, maybe you should just convert the game to traveller :-)

I know that I for one will buy the book in an instant as soon as cash becomes available.

I've thought about switching to Traveller...a few glitches have kept me from doing so...mainly the rules don't support my setting completely...AIs are not wll supported and robots are ..well primitive.

the basic concept is 2d6+stat bonus+ skill vs target number

stats range from 1 to 15 average is 7 to 8
Skills range from 0 to 4, 0= barely trained 2 equals professional, 4 equals top rank/ace in a skill.

character creation is done a little different than other game..you gain skills and benefits from your terms of service in a career. each term you gain skills, rank, and benefits... of course each term you have to make a check to see if you survive the term..if you fail there is a mishap table you have to roll on, and then you have to leave that career...if you succeed you can roll on an event table which sort of supplies your characters background and gives potential benefits.( depending on career, benefits can range from weapons, armor, money, and shares in a ship....the noble, dilettante and merchant careers can generate character with millions in the bank, a regular income and a ship...marines and mercs..not so much in the money department but bonus skills, and stat improvements are easy to come by)

Each term is four years, and your age can start to cause stat degeneration if ou want more terms you have to risk losing points off your physical stats due to aging...of course there are anti aging drugs available b they are sort of expensive and if you cant get your hands on them you suffer the affects of aging at an accelerated rate.

the issue with crossing over from Dz based game to Traveller based is mostly in deciding what skills the character would have and how good he would be with those skills. D20 characters are far more skilled than their Traveller equivalent...but in the area of specialty a converted character would no doubt be very good in a narrow range of skills and abilities.

I have also considered restarting the other Pax game using the traveler system with fresh characters but so far I have had trouble keeping the games I am running moving due to inertia and player attrition.

I am happy the way things are. And I prefer a game that has more skills and toys then less. ^_^

And Aziza just wouldn't be the same if she suddenly went Hiver. I also love the advanced robots et. wouldn't want to give that up. Though if you really want to convert I will go with the flow.

All things considered I quite agree with the perceptive Ms T'shal.  I far prefer your system as it is, with all the fancy toys and A.Is that are such a critical part of YOUR universe intact.  And it is YOUR universe here, not the traveler one.  I would and will be happy to play regardless of what you decide, but honestly I think your system is made for your unique universe, as you envision it, and suits it best :)
