Thanks for encouragement! ;)
It's actually somewhat therapeutic.
a little sus that it’s published by the same company that owns Traveller
How so?
Or maybe I need to finish my first cup of coffee? XD
Thoughts on "This is Free Trader Beowolf"?
cross-posted from: https://ttrpg.network/post/18308254
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?

Space: 1999 - Quickstart
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.
Well it's fixed now.. so I didn't even get to clear cache and retry. But I did try opening on another browser (before writing my comment above) with similar results.
I want to be able to report a bug to the developers, but I have no idea what to tell them that might be useful. I guess I can dive into their issues tracker and take it from there.
Uhm... something's off again on my side.
Are there specific symptoms I should be looking into?
Power Core - 2minutetabletop
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.
There's also !scifi@ttrpg.network which should have some overlap with cyberpunk.
Not sure that's the case, as I was browsing on this instance.
But... I did notice this issue just after I was trying to upload an image with "too many pixels"... maybe I was being throttled because of that?
Whatever it was, it seems to be solved now.
It seems like this issue is back..?
Pretty much every image in the instance is replaced with:

You can algo get it at DTRPG:

Apparently my issue was a false positive. It seems Lemmy doesn't like large images (even if small in size) but the message saying "too many pixels" was off-screen at that time.
I resized the image and reuploaded. Everything seems fine now.
I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.
It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.
Ah. Names. The curse of the GMs. 😅
Thanks!
Great! I'm taking you up on your offer.
Wecome to !scifi@ttrpg.network
That thought has crossed my mind. At first I thought it might be too broad, but now I'm thinking otherwise.
Maybe Lemmy isn't as big (yet) as I initially thought.
It’s… weird. There seems to be a lot of people who play it, but you’re right: we don’t hear much about it.
There’s a Discord server (not a fan of Discord myself, I get lost easily) with tons of users (and many publishers) very much active. Even r/Traveller has decent traffic (but r/cepheusengine not so much). There’s a relatively active T5 community at MeWe as well.
Maybe most players are happy to use Discord. Aaaand maybe I should be asking over there if there would be people interested.
Yeah, I created it mostly out of nostalgia...
There used to be a Google+ community with the same purpose. When G+ closed, many groups flocked to all sorts of platforms (all walled gardens, mind you), but many communities also died in the process.
I can't seem to edit the post.. but in the meantime, here's the link: https://bit.ly/kultdrops
The easiest Traveller version is definitely the one from Mongoose.
Also, you should check out Seth Skorkowsky’s overview videos:

From your last sentence, perhaps a few of Seth Skorkowsky’s videos fit the bill:

But then I have to ask: What do you think is a better player? How does your table work? What kind of games does your group prefer? What do you all appreciate the most from the game?
Some groups are delighted when everyone has a great backstory, while others yawn at it. Some groups enjoy voice acting while some of us don’t bother as long as you stay in character when needed. Some like full immersion and others mostly like to hang around with friends. Some like the sandbox while others wish for a carefully thought out plot. Some like hack n’ slash and others prefer political intrigue and social interactions.
How do you describe a fun, a great session?
