Starting a new series... Errant Heroes (ttrpg.network)
 

Nearly 20 years ago a group of children were rescued by the Commander at the height of the Fifth Frontier War.

All survived, and all learned to thrive in large part due to his guidance and care. News of his death came as a shock and now his four "children" return to Efate for his funeral.

Action, intrigue, and adventure during the Hard Times in the Regina and Jewell Subsectors.

Here's a link, but the details are very vague. They are a deus ex machina.

Exotics [Cyberpunk 2020] in c/rpgmemes@ttrpg.network
[–] rosswinn@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 month ago

As a former writer for 2020 I can say that the idea for exotics came from other source material and not the furry “culture” as it were.

This is one of the many reasons why the lab ship design makes no sense.

Why Traveller Can't Be A Modern RPG in c/Traveller@ttrpg.network

There are three major dislikes, and all of them came from MegaTraveller and The New Era. The Empress Wave, the Assassination of Strephon, and the Virus. All of these are catastrophic changes in the setting, they rob the players of agency, and remove huge chunks of continuity.

Traveller 5E crowdfunding in c/Traveller@ttrpg.network
[–] rosswinn@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 months ago

Although I think there are some huge landmines in the road to this product, I also think it could bring a lot of people into the Traveller universe, and that could be very positive. Actually I believe that's the main reason they're doing it.

What is up with the frequent little outages with ttrpg.network? in c/community_meta@ttrpg.network

you might have hit a server that was having an issue.

The way these servers are federated may be the issue. As federation becomes more prevalent this may become more robust.

Have you seen the upcoming Kickstarter for The Serpent for Traveller? It looks interesting, and has some interesting inspirations.

That's fair. Just curious, do you also disregard publisher forums as well?

I absolutely do, and moderate the Traveller group here as well. I like having multiple sources of news and engagement.

Digg is its own thing. I don't know if they plan on RSS support, but I can ask.

Mongoose Traveller 1e, more cohesive? (ttrpg.network)
 

As someone who has developed RPGs in the past I find that Mongoose Traveller 1e seems more cohesive. Maybe it is the expansion of the setting and additional options, or maybe that there seem to be new systems or mechanics constantly being added. Mongoose 2e seems too unmanageable. Is it just me?

Beginning probably tomorrow (12/2/2025) we will be migrating our image hosting to object storage (ttrpg.network)
 

cross-posted from: https://ttrpg.network/post/29574737

Just an FYI, as part of our migration off of our current host, it's become apparent that we're going to need to migrate our image hosting to object storage.

The change should be rather seamless from the front-end perspective outside of the migration window, but during the migration window, our image hosting capabilities will be offline. I'm not sure how long it will take (the current image hosting data is fairly large) so it could be a bit of a prolonged outage.

Text posts, and commenting should all work, image hosting and thumbnails will be broken. You can still link to external image hosting such as imgur.com, but it won't generate a thumbnail.

I'll update here when it is complete, but as of right now, i would plan for a potential multi-day outage.

There is a new Ship Builder in Traveller Tools at Mongoose. There are some issues, but it's a great start.
