Getting my M.Div in Food Science, thesis on the "Transubstantiation of Mountain Dew and Higher Orders of Caffeine Chain of Being." Will cop to knowing cop stuff. Better to be remembered as a sharp lover of sandwiches than a slick merchant of hate.
Oh, wow, I didn't realize Act III was still a work in progress. I thought we were just getting The Fight and the rest of the project just sort of petered out like a pulse meter after an epic fail, though still epic, motorcycle charge up a skyscraper, or whatever it was Joe was trying to pull off.

You spoiled the Christmas entrance.

Fair play.

Definite John Wick vs literal High Table energy simmering here. Go gun-fu orange guy, you shown em.

Maybe the AI singularity campaign they put out for Mongoose Traveller was a whistle that Mongoose has gone full on Cylon and this has happened before. Though Battlestar Galactica space combat ain't exactly high guard.

Took me a bit of a memory jog but remembering Traveller T20 reminds us all there is nothing new under the Imperium's sun.

Awaiting:
Traveller in the Dark
Traveller Year Zero Engine
Traveller Powered by the Apocalypse
Traveller BRP
Traveller 2d20 and Essence 20
Traveller: Outgunned

That's definitely the good stuff.

This is the sort of "It's what my character would post" energy I think Ken's bringing to James Comey's 13th Age table, and that's the sort of content for which I checked into bsky on Thanksgiving. Thank you. I go in peace.

The coolest thing that could happen this weekend would be learning James Comey was in fact really looking forward to receiving his copy of the 13th Age Kickstarter this weekend. Probably had a household dispute whether "his game" or dinner had rights to the nice table tomorrow.

That one I was going to put on the list but ran out of space.

Pretty sure there was some fan iteration of Traveller for Interlock, so I imagine someone's got some sort of Traveller running under the engine used for Cyberpunk Red, maybe a return to Cyberpunk's OG lifepath because lifepaths

Thanks for that, I was trying to remember what they called Traveller T20 to note this is more a recurrence for Traveller than an expedition.

It's authorized branding language frequently used for systems running on D&D 5e mechanics, it's like Powered by GURPS or Powered by the Apocalypse or whatever in the dark uses etc, just vaguer for reasons I can't tell beyond dog whistling as a way to tame the 5e or die and the never 5e set.

Just going to put this out there. A March Kickstarter, if Mongoose does a month long campaign, would end April 1.

That would be cool.

Didn't GDW do a d20 Traveller back in the peak of d20 games sometime after TNE? There's a book on this stuff I haven't read yet, but I think I remember this before.
