The Deepnight Revelation is used to being the most advanced thing in the star system, but this time they seem to be outclassed by alien megastructures in orbit around gas giants.

In the #TravellerRPG the standard unit of interstellar distance is the parsec - about 3.2 lightyears.

Now Traveller itself does not handle a whole bunch of real astronomical features at all well. For starters the official map of Known Space bears not the slightest resemblance to the actual observed universe.

This is all good and well. It's Just A Game, Relax.

But.

There is a part of me that looks at the Traveller star maps and wonders "Where are the nebulae, where are the open clusters?"

Well, I have an answer for you. One that does not require a single rule change. The maps simply record systems with potentially habitable planets (even if that might require pressurised domes or worse).

There are plenty of other stars out there, and with open clusters - some of which are dozens of parsecs across - it is very unlikely that there will be any potentially habitable planets around them. Typically you've got Hot Gas Giants, which are so close to their stars you'd be mad to try to approach one for refuelling. On the other hand, you've also got dozens of stellar bodies within fractions of a light-year apart, and often remains of the molecular cloud that birthed them. In a pinch you might be able to refuel from those clouds. And who knows what sorts of folks might hide something in such a place?

Then you've got your bright nebulae. Much of what I said about open clusters applies here, except you've also got protostars, and all sorts of junk floating around - sometimes only a few dozen AU apart.

All you need to do is take a highlighter to your subsector (or even sector) maps and draw a splodge in one of the empty areas. Use another colour for the clusters. No-one in their right mind goes to those sorts of places. But a misjump? Or tracking down a hidden pirate base?

Just make sure you've got the fuel to get out again - or you might have to risk wrecking your ship to refuel. And then where would you be?

Blog - Session 2 of the Jägermeister Adventure for the #traveller #ttrpg

TL;DR: Searches across Star Town for the fugitive, and a session truncated by internet issues.

#Introduction
Soy docente de ciencias en secundaria. Aficionado a la #astronomía y ramas afines. Si tengo tiempo me leo algún paper de #astrofisica. Oyente del podcast #coffebreak. Aspiro a tener un número en el MPC y aportar mi granito de arena a la defensa planetaria.

Disfruto de la ciencia ficción dura, aunque no niego unas risas de space opera. Juego al rol y a #Travellerrpg desde hace unos años. La bicicleta me parece el mejor medio de transporte creado por la humanidad.

Abogo por el software libre y he formado parte de un grupo de hardware libre.

Espero encontrar en esta plataforma perfiles que se dediquen a la ciencia y a la divulgación desde la investigación.

I was all set up for the next session of The Jägermeister Adventure when the hotel wifi decided it didn’t want to play. We got about an hour of play with lots of audio drop out. #travellerrpg #traveller #ttrpg

A hotel table with MacBook Pro and a portable second screen, mouse and conference speaker disk. Alongside is a copy of the Traveller core rules and the Jägermeister adventure. The computer screen has Roll20 open and the secondary screen has the scenario showing with AudioHijack ready to record the session.

Fin de semana con 1a de las 2 aventuras de investigación enlazadas del suplemento Misterios en la Estación Arcturus para #TravellerRPG. ¡Obra valiosa que clama traducción!
Bloguearé hojas de personaje y apoyo visual PDF (universo, ambientación, reparto) para #DiaDelRolGratis.

Muy ilusionante preventa de #TravellerRPG lanzada por #EditorialSugaar : Tras la Garra (en español), suplemento con información detallada y mapas de los sectores Deneb y Marca Espiral. ¡Contad conmigo para este nuevo viaje espacial!

The crew of the Deepnight Revelation get to celebrate in the new year of 1120, whilst dealing with hot shot pilots and union representatives from the overworked Engineering teams.

We played the first session of Moon Toad's 'The Jägermeister Adventure' for the #Traveller #ttrpg last night. Here's my notes (contain spoilers). #travellerrpg

https://delta-pavonis.blogspot.com/2025/06/traveller-jagermeister-adventure-ep1.html

We had a spectacular day of #TravellerRPG , with our big damn heroes committing a little light corporate espionage at the General Corp. Shipyard.

A rusted Kinunir-class hulk led to perilous interaction with a predator!

A mysterious Aslan femme-fatale enters the stage!

A quick look at what I've been doing in FoundryVTT for Mongoose Traveller. Mostly filling in character sheets for spacecraft, and tweaking the rules whenever I find something that isn't implemented yet.

The Deepnight Revelation comes across a world where there are remains of an ancient civilisation mostly lost to time. They also need to find a route to the Droyne world of Draytsirv which won't leave them stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Ultimately I am happy with my game, and I contributed to science fiction in general, beyond rpg's.

Over on Bluesky, someone posted a pic of a #TravellerRPG Free Trader, but in pink.

A long long time ago, I played a very burnt-out scout named Capt. Hari Smythe-Collins. He didn't realize he was the captain of this ship for a few days, until the rest of the crew (mostly other ex-scouts) informed him that as the best pilot, he was in charge.

Well, okay then.

Jumps got dull. Inevitably, the prank wars began. Our ship had some fun tech. We could change the color and pattern of the hull for some reason. Well, Hari could. He was the captain.

So he made the ship purple.

The entire ship.

Inside and out, the clothes, the food, what was left of his hair, you name it.

The one non-ex-scout was a Zhodani named Flak. Flak decided, rather understandably, that the captain had gone insane. So Flak "adjusted" Hari and arranged a much lower stress job for him to do.

Hari regained consciousness on a highport, working at a food stand, selling Happy Orange Surprise, and repeating, "Would you like fries with that?" over and over.

Flak had shaved off all Hari's hair, and his eyebrows. (So they would grow back in their natural color, of course.)

The rest of the crew finally retrieved Hari, who was not very happy at all about the loss of his eyebrows. He drew them back with a yellow highlighter, and did not speak to Flak for several weeks.

In the end, it was great fun. Hari would do it again in a heartbeat.

New adventure for the Solis People of the Sun, Andromeda Dragons, Kosmic RPG universe. Join the crew of the Dusky Rose, plying the spacelanes of Old Earth Main, reaching HR511 Sameen in Theta Persei where they will encounter biker gangs, traitors, and maybe find the treasure of the lost iridium.

@kyonshi My #TravellerRPG group played as TL 0 citizen on a TL 0 planet for a couple of months. It was part of a running campaign. Their main characters had missed an adventuring opportunitiy so we made some new characters for that. The rules worked great. TL 0 melee is brutal.

@slyflourish
I remember how Traveller had rules to randomly generate animal encounter tables since its first edition. It even included special events like geographical features, special creatures and weather.

The Deepnight Revelation continues its journey across uncharted space. Looking to stock up on supplies, it runs into food on a type of world where food isn't normally found.
