Hello Everyone, Does anyone know where I can get a copy (electronic or hard copy) of Trillion Credit Squadron? I have looked around eBay Australia and ...
Hey Brett, $35US will get you the CD rom: http://www.farfuture.net/cdroms.html which includes this, IIRC: B00 Understanding Traveller. Freely distributed...
Hi All I'm currently reading LBB1, specifically Combat and was wondering if someone could clarify a rule for me? It concerns the following (which is a direct...
Following on from my last enquiry, I have another question, this time about weight. LBB1 says that a character can carry a load equal to his strength stat in...
... He wouldn't use his Rifle skill level as the defensive DM; he'd use his Club skill level - since he's using his rifle as a club; probably not too good for...
... Again, another referee question. In my game, the penalties start when you exceed your STR stat and you can't go any higher than 2xSTR. However, ref trumps...
... That's how I do it. If you're using your firearm in a melee, then I treat it as if it were a similar sort of melee weapon for skill purposes: a rifle...
... Yes, Ref trumps rules. :) To me, rules in the book are suggestions, not *rules*. I treat them as such and decide each case individually. It's important to...
... Good questions, btw! Keep 'em coming. Although, I bet you can figure out by now what I'm going to answer. :) One reason I love CT is that it is very...
In Traveller, most weapons training is assumed to be supplied by the military (Navy, Marines, Army, Scouts to a degree). Military training tends to also cover...
Again the rules are based on 'real life'. Traveller in the '80's based itself on hard science as it was understood then. Science has of course moved on, but...
The weight rule always seemed a bit odd to me, considering the fact that 'the average soldier' (presumably Str 7) routinely carries five or more times his Str...
Thanks to all for your help and thoughts. It's much appreciated. It may sound odd, but I never really considered making my own variation of the rule, I was...
The problem with establishing yourself as a ref who adheres to the rules is that you will encounter a player - or more than one - who will have studied the...
... Hey! Another "old timer" like me! I started with D&D in 1974, still have the white box with the 3 little books. I fell in love with Traveller when it came...
... Actually, no. The character would get a minus equal to their "club" or other skill...not the -2 equal to the Rifle Skill ... Then you have never had to...
Fellow Travellers, I am working on a Traveller recon scenario for some marine PCs. It will require the use of silent weapons. I am, therefore looking for ...
Depends on the muzzle velocity of the weapon. If the round leaves the muzzle at supersonic speed, there will be a small sonic boom upon exiting the barrel. The...
... Except for the sonic boom as they travel faster than sound. I suspect it would be a long, loud, "riiiiiip" sound, rather than a quiet "zip." Eris...
... You'll have to make up the rules, but a big, heavy, sub-sonic round from an air-rifle (or other gas...think souped-up paintball gun, if you wish) might be...
As far as I know, there are three sources of sound from a fire-arm discharging: 1) the mechanical "click" of the trigger being pulled, the hammer striking the...
You will not eliminate sonic boom from a supersonic projectile, but it can be reduced somewhat depending on the shape of the round. Having said that, if you...
LOL - I was about to add that the noise a fire-arm makes is a moot point if the person being shot is wounded and ends up screaming bloody murder whilst running...
Well, pause for thought... Perhaps the projectile could pass through a silencer like contraption mid-weapon and then continue down a barrel extension to...
So far the best answer given is the one that points out the primary sources of noise in weapon discharge. Everyone has correctly pointed out that the round is...
... I don't see a problem in having 'variable-power' gauss weapons. These could have the option of a subsonic setting. A 10-round burst fired at just less...
While getting a round down to subsonic speed is by no means that much of a problem for a gauss weapon, the small rounds may be rendered ineffective by doing...
