SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: GeekyBugle on August 27, 2024, 12:58:45 PMGood news for Traveller, I'll stick to Cepheus tho.

I'm fairly partial to Cepheus Universal and HOSTILE more so than MGT2E.
Yes, Zozer is best!

Quote from: Tod13 on August 28, 2024, 08:43:41 AMYea. I've asked about that. Stellagamma keeps talking about writing something up, but never seems to have the time. I kind of understand but I think it would make sales jump because the system(s) would make more sense to people.

I hope my post in this thread helps clarify things.

Awesome. That might be good to put on the website and somewhere on DTRPG. It helps customers know what is what. Thank you a lot.

The Quantum games BTW are perfect for one shots - a lot of genre character but very quick to make unique characters. Our Traveller group often uses Quantum when we need a one-shot when someone is out.

Just as an addendum, the Traveller Fair Use Guidelines have also been changed.

Whether you could survive the lawsuit is one thing but US IP protection laws are way more liberal that Mongoose's "fair use" BS.

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

Quote from: swzl on September 02, 2024, 12:46:33 PMAre any of them licensed as CC BY 4.0? The ones I have purchased thus far are CC BY SA 4.0. I am interested in the former license but not the latter.

Thanks,

The Xd6 system SRD (the Nomad system) is released under CC BY 4.0.



Thanks. I'll look into it. Is it on DriveThru or hosted on a website?

Ok, I asked, and it comes as a downloadable file with the FTL:Nomad PDF on Drivethru. I don't know if it's available freely elsewhere.

You're welcome! I'm going to suggest Omer puts it up on his blog and our various social media spaces. Maybe on the X account that I suggested we open for reasons that seemed ok at the time.

Yeah, the Quantum games are fun little games, aren't they? They're intended for "beer-and-pretzel"* games, pick up games, and short campaigns. Glad you're making use of them!



*I suppose if you're eating pretzels and drinking beer at any other game, you're doing it wrong? I don't know where that expression comes from.
