Outstanding work here.

As everyone is (rightfully) dragging @TheGAMAOnline & AAGAD for not including the designers with the Origins Awards, this might be a good time to point out that the Charles S Roberts Awards include the designer names, and have for the past 3 years at least armchairdragoons.com...

If WotC sticks to this Seasons thing, I may start lobbying for them to bring back Birthright.

Traveller tonight! We rejoin Team Agamemnon on the Ag world of Vaccaro, as they attempt to untangle a political crisis, while an interstellar gambling event draws near, bringing visitors from across the sector. Most of the session was spent mingling with local notables.

New game today! In ONE HOUR I'll be introducing and creating characters for the The Pirates of Drinax, and maybe even engaging in a little space piracy. 19:00 @ www.twitch.tv/annakurnugi

Report on this week's Classic #TravellerRPG session. www.travelleritv.blog/2026/02/27/i...

Pushed out another version of Mongoose Traveller 2e for FoundryVTT. Adding in support for extra statistics on worlds. Also updated Traveller Map Tools so worlds can be imported from Traveller Map. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG #FoundryVTT foundryvtt.com/packages/mgt2e foundryvtt.com/packages/tra...

Traveller tonight! Team Xerxes completed it 3-jump journey to the nearest Scout Base to pick up their new detached scout ship. They found it inhabited, by its dissolute and addled former captain, living out in the boneyard. Guns were waved, but there was Fungus Bacon, so everybody was chill.

Interested in how much people get to run or play #TTRPG On average its online 3 nights a week. Running 3 campaigns, playing 1. Some ad-hoc. Feels like a lot. I appreciate some play less, but I'm at a stage in life I can afford to indulge hobbies. How about you? Please repost if you can. [1/2]

Listening to Led Zeppelin's debut album for the first time in many years, I am reminded of just how much they owe Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.

I would like to see the Classic Traveller rules set presented like Shadowdark.

New Traveller House Rule: If you miss a session, it's cool. But we will assume your character has been assigned to some important but pedestrian task, while the rest of the Team heads out directly. You will fumble whatever roll is required, resulting in the lost time, and a lost half XP. 1...

Traveller tonight! Tram Agamemnon landed on Vaccaro, an agricultural world under a corporate monopoly on its interstellar trade with a local government incapable of getting anything done aside from maintaining the status quo. Solid session, tho we did have a dropout. The slot is already filled!

Ref's notes from last 2 Classic #TravellerRPG session. www.travelleritv.blog/2026/02/11/i...

We played a popup session of Traveller on the last day of Winterfest. Classic, of course. First character's first tour with the Scouts ended abruptly and fatally. The next character, an amiable Reginan Army vet with a lot of guns and a trick knee, was a hoot to play.

I've got 24 Traveller magazine indexes that I prepared while working on _This is Free Trader Beowulf_. They're great at saying what's where if you have the mags in your collection. But I most enjoy the mini-histories I've written for each.

It's the last night of Winterfest and we're playing Traveller and the Scotch is out.

#Robotech Defense Force never realizes they are in a counterinsurgency, so they miss that they need to win over the hearts of the civilians Talking #RobotechReconstruction with @ardwulf.bsky.social www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkxk1G...

Putting together some introduction videos for my Mongoose Traveller system for FoundryVTT. This one is aimed at players: #TTRPG #TravellerRPG #FoundryVTT www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ux7...

Remember, folks, there will be no Chit Show this evening, or Counter Clipping show tomorrow. We will return next week with a full report!

This is what we're playing for the week: GMT's 1914: Twilight in the East. Pretty cool system, but we're getting the hang of it.

Space Empires from @gmtgames.bsky.social and Inflection Point from @multimanpublishing.bsky.social on tables!

HOLY COW! Classic Traveller for under $20!!!!!!!! Like EVERYTHING...amazing!!! Takes me back to the 80's (still have my OG Box Set and Book 4). www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/tr...

Wargames on tables!

One thing about Linux is that it absolutely does give you the power to catastrophically fuck your system up. But I own it.

Traveller tonight! On Maquelar, a Revolution is brewing. The Travellers mostly didn't want to get involved. But then the Noble extracted a stranger's nephew from the crowd, and the Doc talked him down from his revolutionary frenzy. My best GMing so far, and the roleplaying was TOP shelf.

Having just finished the massive Deepnight Revelation campaign for Mongoose Traveller, I've written up my thoughts. It was a long campaign, lasting several years. Though not perfect, it was definitely memorable and very different. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/01/deep...

BITS has just released Cold Dark Grave on the TAS programme! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... A one-shot Traveller adventure, your players will on a salvage mission to save their family-owned mining company from financial ruin... #ttrpg #TravellerRPG

Folks, I am still under the weather after the busy weekend. I am therefore cancelling the Counter Clipping show tonight. Fear not, for I shall return next Monday!

My inspirations for the Traveller campaign, aside from Traveller itself, are The Expanse, Andor, Foundation, and Dio, with sprinklings of Dune, Lensmen, Bester, and Rush.

Tme to update Nobara #Linux. Nothing exceptionally traumatic is happening, but X4 is locking up apparently at random.

Last night's session. We used ship combat rules from Cepheus Light, which were great! #TravellerRPG www.travelleritv.blog/2026/01/14/i...

This evening I have guest-starred on my wife Alnilana's YT channel! We play a game called Walk of Life. Quality time! Check it out at youtu.be/-gRaMA6ayrs?...

The video game I played the most in 2025 was Minecraft. I've decided that for 2026, my video game will be X4: Foundations. Both run on Linux, no issues. I picked up all the relevant DLC during Steam's winter sale.

Traveller tonight! We pick up Team Xerxes returning to Maquelar with news of their discovery, only to discover that the Corpos sold the entire asteroid to a more ruthless corp, lock stock and barrel. Amid protests at the starport docks, they were hustled off by the old management for debriefing.

X4: Foundations veritably cries out for a Traveller mod.

Just received from our good friends at @nobleknightgames.bsky.social! Very excited about this, and the books are gorgeous.

#artvartist Here's the colour selection. This year I've been involved in a lot of #Travellerrpg products again which have helped push my digital work in fun directions but have neglected the traditional stuff a little so am out to rectify that soon. #artvartist25 #scifiart #spaceships #fantasyart

Just exported subsector maps for the 4 mapped Traveller sectors. It's not as much as it seems; this is sparse space out here on the Rim. But it sure felt like plenty of work.

I have just recorded the first Ardwulf's Lair video of 2026. Look for an interview with wargaming's most controversial designer, coming soon!

More about the #Traveller #TTRPG. This is my last post before going #solarpunk. I talk about the origin of life and how it effects game play and world building. I also give a "shout out" to Sidney Fox who was both a great scientist and a wonderful person. ruduswritings.blogspot.com/2026/01/trav...
