going to take a better look a things tommorow, will see what I can do

I dont know how many people have gotten their orders yet, I just hope everybody is happy with everything, and if its a content issue, get with me, order/shipping issues go to Marc

is the Manhattan Project too late to qualify for the Pulp Era? Richard Feynman... who worked on the Manhattan Project and even the Rogers Commission that investigated the Challenger Disaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman

Mine arrived today, with a bonus.

cool... what did Marc send along as a bonus?

very cool, one note, all USPS mail goes from bloomington to champaign and is shipped from there, instead of coming directly out of bloomington, this was due to consolidating post offices

Dying during character gen went away after the first revision of 1st edition. You could choose for a character to die, otherwise it was muster out with a crippling wound. As for the rest it sounds like your GM was really being a jerk.

 

BTW if you want that feel of rolling the character up, then run the PCs though one of the random career generators in one of the traveller editions. Keep track what happened every term, then use that to create the PC's background and the skills as a guideline for Hero Character gen.

Tasha hit the point I was going to make exactly

correct.. theres some additional 5E material, but its mostly working notes and draft stuff that never saw publication in any form

I gave Marc everything we had that I know of, Don Mckinney and Andy Staples also did fixed a bunch of templates and fixed the blank references

to various packages from the Star Hero books. I wish I could be more specific, but I was left out of the loop on a lot of it. I submitted all the material I had complete or not, I

made sure Marc had all the Hero Designer files[hdp, hdc, hdt] wrote a new intro and dedication. and that was about it

yes it does have a 6E conversion document. there was quite a bit of material besides the 2 printed books published, its just only the first 2 saw print

this has both TH1 and TH2, along with everything else that was produced for Traveller Hero, along with all the associated Hero Designer files

if you look at the animated file I posted, it lists the table of contents

I really doubt there will be printed copies, but you can always ask Marc Miller about it

if your new to Traveller, and want another great value, I would suggest the Classic Traveller CD also, but you dont have to have it by any means

Mary Ellen Carter

Northwest Passage

Darwin's Beagle

Marc got the CDs today, and they are now available on his website, https://www.discmakers.com/AVLFlashViewer/?p=ecTr4vCQS1CXg3vP2PTHUw%3D%3D#.VwvqMUfGApr is a flash demo of the packaging etc

wooohoo!!! Marc finally got the CDs in today, and they are available here http://farfuture.net/FFE-CDROMs.html

and heres a demo of what the CD and packaging look like... https://www.discmakers.com/AVLFlashViewer/?p=ecTr4vCQS1CXg3vP2PTHUw==#.VwvozkfGApq

if you havent seen the art already... here it is

13-281 CDROM-TH HERO Traveller.pdf

not sure on a downloadable form... Iet me talk to Marc Miller and get back to everybody, the original plan was to have an announcement about it being available by the end of this month... I will update this as soon as I have something to update if you have seen the table of contents from the back cover art, there is one change.. it doesnt list the Hero Designer files we created

as being included... but they are definately there. I have the final draft of the CD here, now its a matter of production. I also can give the price... it will be 35.00, which is the same price Marc charges for all his compilation CDs, that being for the physical CD... no idea about downloads

i would stay with 5E, and tweak as needed, its been too long since I really even looked at Wing Commander to have any ideas on crossovers/conversions

hopefully the Traveller Hero compilation CD will go to press and be available soon, Marc has  the final version in hand now

I remember lifting some of the ship stats whole cloth for another game and while combat lengthy, I didn't necessarily see the ships as being too imbalanced. That being said, I had to use a spreadsheet to keep track of how much body got through the shields and all that. Not really looking forward to that sort of thing again. Any suggestions for an alternative ship combat system?

it depends, do you want simple or crunchy? you might consider adapting a set of minatures rules... Full Thrust or Power Projection, or Starmada or Victory By Any Means... or use Traveller Hero for that matter... although Traveller Hero is currently unavailable... but that should change in a month or so hopefully

Traveller is always a decent option by itself

I gotta agree with NuSoard on the ships, bloated, imbalanced, and boring too... not enough detail or backround on the ships.

if theres anything else I can help with just let me know... theres quite a bit in that archive file

if your on Facebook, I posted a copy of all my vehicle archives including a lot of aircraft that are not surbrooks page, its one big zip file of HD files though, on the Hero System Fan Group page

lets not forget Jim Corbett, who was a hunter that specialized in the man eating cats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-Eaters_of_Kumaon

plenty of aircraft conversions of all eras up here http://surbrook.devermore.net/adaptationsvehicles/vehicle.html
