    Ah I know that kind of issue. Some stuff we have in the pipeline for my 'own' company has been on the table for years, finally getting around to some of it (now that sales are doing ok).

    Regarding Traveller well I don't mind waiting for you chaps, or perhaps I get on with it and you chaps test it and help me finish it etc, so we all benefit. For me Traveller 2300 (2300AD) and Mega Traveller are something I'd do soon after. However I've since discovered that Mongoose have a ruleset out and now GDW have theirs, so would need to know which one to work on.

    Im just quietly saying - if you feel a hankering to do a ruleset. Do it. Or at least start it and determine if its something you want to see thru to the end. Dont wait for the unicorns to eventually get around to doing it because we may or may not get to it! Ian is polishing off CoC7e and ShadowRun 4. The three of us are working on Dungeon World and after that we have 3 likely contenders that are all ahead of Traveller.

    Hi Damned,

    I will start on it very soon, just decide which version of Traveller are needed (the Mongoose version OR the new GDW version?). Because I'd like to create 2300AD and then a new ruleset, Victoriana 3rd from Cubicle Seven.

    So if you and Ian/Mask went to test Traveller that would be great.

    Cheers

    If you want it to be a full release with backing from the publisher then I'd suggest you speak to Doug about what agreements are in place. There was an agreement in place with Mongoose, but I don't know if that covers the new (in beta) Traveller version. Without an agreement with the publisher you'll be limited to releasing as a community rule set with base mechanics only (unless additional data is covered by an OGL/SRD). Community rule sets are fine, just be aware of any copyright material and don't include it.

    If you are up to the task of doing both it would definitely be worth getting publisher buy in. The challenge with that is that SW dont usually get approval until you have a demonstrably finished ruleset which means you could end up doing most of the work and not getting the ability to release with library... on the other hand Mongoose Traveller has an SRD - https://www.travellersrd.com/content...e_license.html

    Morning Chap,

    I did speak to Doug about Traveller a few weeks ago. So what I'll do it send him another email about it and find out which version I can do. I have Traveller/2300AD etc PDF's from Mongoose.

    Regarding testing I'll ask Doug about that as well. For the CoC modules I've done he'll give you and Ian a version to look at before releasing them into the wild as such.

    So at the moment I'm thinking ahead, trying to make a plan, and before I do like this I'm trying to find out if anyone else is already doing it as the forum thread that I found (and you linked) is out of date, and I'd hate to work on something finally to find out that someone else is doing it, done it etc.

    Right time for a brew over here. Love this community - some great folks

    Cool stuff. I'll throw Doug an email and find out where FG is with Mongoose etc. I'll take a look at the SRD later this evening.

    Thanks again chaps!

    Mongoose are currently working on a new version of the Traveller rules - currently in Beta test here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product...iliate_id=7242 There isn't any SRD/OGL material for this version (so fat, at least - Mongoose brought out the pervious Traveller SRD quite far down the line).

    Obviously I wouldn't recommend spending too much time producing a ruleset for a moving target (system in beta testing), but Mongoose will probably be more amenable to a ruleset (and related products?) for their new/future version of the game.

    I've just thrown Doug an email asking about state of play. I'll see what he says and then when that time comes worry about versions etc.

    Before I even start Traveller I'd like to get a lot more CoC out of the way. House of R'Lyeh should be complete in about 2-3 weeks, depending on the maps that I need to create. I'm still not certain about maps in CoC modules, hence why every module I get I'll see if Doug can let some of you lose on looking into it.

    But seriously though, in development is Horror on the Orient Express (planning pretty much done) and Beyond the Mountains of Madness (planning in planning).

    Plenty to keep me occupied, but love FG so very much and would love to have a magic wand to make everything converted already!

    Doug has replied, Traveller is still in contract from Mongoose, so I've asked him to confirm the Beta is covered. Getting excited.

    Back to CoC, when I get to certain points in Horror we'll have to run a game....
