This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

44. Jovianite Sword. Jovianite is a jewel only formed in Super Jovian planets, it's harder than diamonds and almost unbreakable, it responds and amplifies to the Psions telekinesis. The Adub disciples are capable of making it attack without touching it and receive a +2 to hit when wielding it. It's rumored that another Psion temple exists and that it's disciple's powers rival those of the Disciples of Adub.

The more powerful Psions can make the blade glow and act for all intents and purposes as a plasma sword, capable to cut through any material known in the galaxies except a Jovianite weapon wielded by an equally powerful Psion.

45 Diver Down. An autoinjector filled with a drug that triggers the mammalian diving reflex in most common races. When a crew member is catastrophically injured, you inject them with Diver Down to put them into medical stasis, then pack them in ice. This gives you time to get the injured crew member to an advanced medical facility.

I almost forgot, the Familie Spofalum Catalog!

And Ditzie!

(Attached as a PDF.)

A bit of background.....

Quote from: Traveller WikiBack around 1997, when Fire, Fusion, and Steel 2 was being readied for production, many members of the Traveller Mailing List tested the system out by designing equipment and ships. One notable designer, Ian Whitchurch, crafted truly amazing things, under the guise of a Milieu 0 company (created by Roderick Darroch Elliott and shared by other TML members) named Famille Spofulam, or FS for short.

Ian, seeing too much power in Fusion Plus, used FS in general, and Ditzie as particular, as a platform for editorializing on an error that saw its way to print.

Unfortunately, Ditzie became a popular celebrity due to her audacity, and the whole point about the abusability of FFS2 was largely ignored.

72. Disposable Kinetic Damper. 5 lbs. Appears as a small reinforced metal pod attached to a belt or harness with a single blinking light to denote its charge. Will automatically negate any single fall, crash, or other shock strong enough to cause damage to the user once before burning out (as soon as it detects a violent change in acceleration).

73. Nano MRE. 1 lb. A sealed pack containing a mixture of nanites and a questionable brick of unknown substances. Once activated with the pull tab, the nanites construct the brick of dehydrated food paste into a fully-formed, recognizable and appetizing meal such as a steak or burger with fries before deactivating. Also provide ideal nutrition with enough calories for a full day, regardless of the dispensed meal.

74. Mag boots. 10 lbs. They're exactly what they sound like, and support up to 300 lbs. at 1G even hanging from the ceiling. Operate for 1 hour of continuous use before needing a fresh charge.

75. "Recall" booster. Negligible weight. A disposable hypo which, once injected, allow the user to instantly recall any memory with perfect clarity and down to the smallest surrounding detail for up to 1d6 x 10 seconds (for example, it could be used to "search" a room for openly visible elements such as individual words on a document across the room). Repeated uses within a week of each other require an endurance check or similar; failure results in 1d6+1 intelligence damage, which is cumulative and recovers by 1/day.

76. Vibro socks. Negligible weight. Completely negate the sound of the wearer's footsteps (and only their footsteps) for 10 minutes. They are powered by a small internal battery and cannot be recharged.

77. Sonic lance. 10 lbs. An odd-looking scepter attached to a small backpack via cable. Useful for making repairs or cutting through hulls where open flame would be an explosion hazard, and requires no fuel beyond the power pack; utterly useless in vacuum, extremely dangerous to try using underwater (roll 1d6; on a 1 or 2, the lance explodes violently causing the same amount of damage the lance would inflict as a weapon). The lance can be temporarily nullified via an active Vibro Sock draped or tied over the end of the wand...

The nano MRE would be a little more amusing if, despite the amazingly advanced technology, it still could only make the same shitty MRE food the armed forces know and love.

Except it makes a positively life-changing jalapeño cheese spread.

Ah yes, the famously desired and exceptionally rare Nanopeño Poppers!
