Maybe I’m not as smart as I used to be.
On the Traveller discord someone was asking about converting a class of ship into GURPS Traveller. I found the class (Fiery) was first introduced in MT Journal #2.
It turns out I have never looked into the MT starship construction rules.
So I have no idea how to interpret a lot of the details or figure out what size fusion power plant it had. But I guess the output was 7740 Mw?

I rather like #T5 rules, but the whole #Megatraveller thing really annoyed me.
As a result I use an extension of the #GurpsTraveller universe, and, to some extent the #MoongoseTraveller rules.
But #ClassicTraveller is what I grew up with, so that is my home.
This is the cusp of the Long Night before civilisation collapses.
I picked a real bad time to read through Megatraveller lore....or did I?
What was Science Fiction in the 90s has become reality or will become it.
I've been reading through Megatraveller lore these past few weeks and one thing I keep noticing about the milieu and it's economic system, Capitalism, is the cycle of boom and collapse the Human sphere keeps going through, and how whole worlds are exploited then abandoned.
I don't know if the creators meant it as a subtle criticism of the whole Capitalism show or whether they really couldn't think of a Universe without it, but looking at it all with 2024 eyes it stands out.
En 1988(?), #casusbelli dit du mal de #TravellerRRG pour dire du bien de #megatraveller
Ls règles ne sont pourtant pas si différentes entre les deux 🤔Je crois que je leur en ai toujours voulu de n'avoir jamais (il me semble) publié de scénario (ni d'article?) pour Traveller 🤬
Back to 1988, the french #rpg mag accuses Traveller's rules of being "too simplistic, illogic, even unplayable", and lauds those of MegaTraveller 🧐 I always ressented that they never published any adventure nor article
Book fairy came yesterday. I picked up a variety of books that caught my eye.
While Manhunt was initially part one of three, I don’t think we’ll ever see the rest of it.
Terra Arisen looks like a fun early earth space exploration setting.
Sword of Cepheus is of course a fantasy adaptation of the Traveller rules.
Neo-Tokyo 2100 is a cyberpunk (genre) adventure for Savage Worlds.

I found a nice equipment index for Classic Traveller and beyond. It may not be totally complete (I don’t think it covers Challenge Magazine), but it looks pretty comprehensive overall.

I was looking through an old Challenge Magazine (45) and found this essential item every spaceship should carry.
The Intership Transfer Device. Magnetic zip line to get you from any ship to another.
Only 500Cr at your nearest Starport!
