The Luminous Nebula

One of the RPGs that I am a big fan but never get to play is Traveller. The latest edition, Mongoose Traveller, does a good job of presenting the original classic version and expanding it for the modern gamer. I am bit leery of buying the follow on supplement as they have the usual hit or miss quality that Mongoose has. This in combination with their high prices that always gives me a pause.

I will probably pick up High Guard and whatever supplement that has expanded world generation. I am looking forward to seeing how Babylon 5 works using the Traveller system.

We are getting a ton of snow up here in Northwest Pennsylvania so I decided to fool around with some ship design. The one I like best the Luminous Nebula 200 ton Jump-5 spaceship. A bit impractical but since when adventurers have practicality in mind?

Of course I couldn't stop there so I pulled out some CorelDRAW templates I used in the last Traveller game I GMed and finished it up formally. You can download it from here.

Have fun with it.

As an old Traveller grognard I've been fairly critical of Mongoose Traveller but overall it's turning out not bad once they've ironed out all the errata, piss poor art and bad editing. In fact I'm really enjoying it now. High Guard and Trader & Gunboats are good supplements but avoid Mercenary like the plague. It reeks.
