With mayday around the corner, offers are starting to pop up. One such is this Bundle of Holding which includes This is Free Trader Beowolf (and only that).

And yes, the discount is good. But I do try my best to only buy stuff that I actually want/need. Sometimes I even succeed ;).

So I come here asking for your opinion.

Is it worth it? Do you love it?

You may already know this if you play Traveller, but in case you don't, The Zhodani Base is a webpage devoted to Traveller and other Sci-Fi games.

The linked page is a curated repository of free PDFs.

Modiphius will be releasing a new game called Space 1999, "coming this spring".

Apparently there was a board game by the same name. Anyone know it?

There's a quickstart available at DTRPG.

2-Minute Tabletop has released a Sci-Fi map called the Power Core (the image used as thumbnail is a zoomed-in portion of the core itself). You can get the full map here:

https://2minutetabletop.com/power-core-battle-map/

In case you don't yet know about it, 2-Minute Tabletop is a site where a few creators (originally just the one) create battlemaps for TTRPGs. Most of the maps are free, with paid option for mutiple variants.

You do have to get an account to download even the free versions (usually a zip with PDF and high-quality JPEGs), or you can just view the medium-sized preview on the webpage.

*Bright flashing lights, the sight of people dancing shoulder to shoulder, and the smell of off-world substances permeate this nightclub. In the city that never sleeps, this club is a haven for all sorts of people, from seedy street men to mid-level executives. * This map features multiple rooms including a VIP lounge, security room, the club manager’s office, and a smallerf bar area. The main room features a large circular bar with disco lights, surrounded by places to sit.

This map pack includes Nightclub & Adult Club variants, including versions without lights. All patrons get access to gridded/ungridded and high-resolution maps.

Check out the full map pack here.

Orbital Trouble: d12 Space Outpost Hooks - Roleplaying Tips

Another test I wanted to make.

Not quite happy with the result, I find it a bit "meh". But I do intend to use it later in a collage of sorts.

This is a location we played a few years ago (the place where my "milk run" unfolded). though back then we used theatre of the mind. But as I was staring at a blank canvas for this test I wanted to make, I decided to give it a go.

If you're into papercraft, this might appeal to you.

This youtuber usually does a lot of fantasy stuff, but this time we got a Sci-Fi shuttle.

Just a small test I wanted to try out, but I thought I'd still share.

Hi all, I do not have much to add, besides I am running a MgT2 Traveller game right now and made my own sector, To track everything I have set up a legendkeeper to share information with my players. There is also a ton of GM stuff in there but it is hidden and invisble. I thought this might be fun or inspiration for others too. edit I have no idea why the Link says "Attention required Cloudflare", link works fine.

Maps of The Valley of Mexico and Texcoco from the Codex Xolotl (1542) (more in post body)

The last entry from my backlog. And it's kind of a low-effort one, I'm afraid.

The ship itself is provided as a template in the Cosmographer3 addon to CC3+, and I'd already done a couple of macros that automatically change the colors for the Scout.

Still, hope you find it useful.

I’m pretty sure it’s slashed to $0 every now and then. If you don’t own it yet, you might as well add this museum piece to your collection.

These are some high quality, fan-made rules for Cepheus Engine (and so based on the Mongoose Traveller SRD) covering various Star Trek shows up until 2017 (TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, ENT).

Here I did the same than the post from a month ago: I used https://www.travellerworlds.com/ to generate a new star system, and then drew it with CC3+.

In case you're not familiar, Death Station is an adventure for Traveller.

As many more have done so, I gave it a try myself, mostly because I wanted a large map to place on the table.

Little did I know that the free 2D Deck Plans for the Core Rulebook includes a science station I could have used. Oh well.

I also have a couple of PDF versions. One without labels/numbering: http://rpg20.com/Death%20station.pdf and with labels: http://rpg20.com/Death%20station_labels.pdf

For fans of Traveller specifically.

In the post where we're listing all the Sci-Fi games we could come up with, there's a distinct lack of PBTA games. And I get it... there's probably too many to list.

But even if I have my Sci-Fi needs fulfilled (perhaps for the moment, and for the most part) there are a few games that I'd still like to play some day. This is one of them.

Why? Because it's straight and to the point. I tell myself that one of these days, when I think of a plot for a Star ~~Wars~~ Worlds one-shot adventure, I can grab this and get rolling in 5 minutes.

A lot of people dislike PBTA, but I actually find it valuable. I think PBTA is particularly good at short adventures and one-shots. For longer campaigns? Not so sure. One of my favourite (non-scifi) games, Kult (!kult@ttrpg.network), uses PBTA in its newest version. They did try to think ahead to advancement for longer campaigns, but would it be enough for a regular multi-year group? I don't know.

Just from this small post, there's so much I'd like to ask anyone reading: Do you have a PBTA game you love and/or play? Have you tried this one? Do you know another overlooked Star Wars game (such as Never Tell Me the Odds)? Do you love/hate PBTA? Have you used PBTA for long campaigns?

Anyway, Streets of Mos Eisley can be downloaded from here: https://sentientgames.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/star-worlds/
