[Traveller] Death in Character Generation

RPGNow has this sale on the Mongoose version. If you pay $41 you get the PDF and the black and white book. Is this the same hardcover that the Mongoose website sells? It seems like a reasonable deal.

I'm interested in the game after reading their intro book.

I like the mongoose core, I just have the pdf though, sounds like a decent deal.

Marc Miller is also giving away Starter Traveller away for free: http://www.rpgnow.com/product/80190/CT-ST-Starter-Traveller

Mong is an updated version of classic in many ways.

Yes, it's the same book Mongoose sells on their own site.

Quote from: Arduin;710206That's why God invented GM's. The GM simply states a term level limit for a given game... Pretty simple señor.

The freedom to keep going but with the risk of losing it all, the gamble, makes it much more interesting than a GM just putting a unilateral limit.

Give the man a cigar. You, sir, have nailed it exactly.

MOST wargames have an element of the gamble in them. That's a good part of the fun. I get that not everybody likes it, but for shit's sake that doesn't make it "wrong" or "bad."

Quite right; and it makes character creation into something of an art form, at least in the sense of trying to "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em".
