lol I’m actually going to get the Call of Cthulhu Innsmouth sourcebook from Chaosium before Singularity even ships out I bet. Just got the shipping notification on the Innsmouth book. Looking forward to checking it out. Still no movement on Singularity, sadly.

Welp. I wonder if this will be the week my Singularity package actually makes its way to FedEx let alone start its journey to me. Really frustrated and disappointed by this whole experience @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social, @studio2publishing.bsky.social #TTRP #TravellerRPG
Still, as frustrated and disappointed as I am with the delay in getting Singularity in my eager little hands, I still love this game and @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social for what they’re doing with it. Finally got my dry erase Core Sector map laid down on the gaming table.
Sigh. FedEx STILL doesn’t even have my Singularity package. Label was created over two weeks ago and it still hasn’t shipped? And no one is working while GenCon is going on? Now bordering on ridiculous. C’mon guys… 🥴 @studio2publishing.bsky.social @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social
Lots to love in the episode, no spoilers for others but the Patron background and company are excellent. I was driving to work going... "No way! That is such a great NPC idea, so fleshed out. Tons of storylines to work with" Nice work.
Still thinking about Signals from the Core episode 13, and Last Call at Eneri’s Cantina as that launchpad for sandbox style play in a powder keg area of the Core. I wish I’d had access to the Anther and Achenaar-Antilles material from Singularity when I ran it. Listen here: pod.link/1830887367
Well, good news/ bad news: The fine folks at Mongoose were able to provide an update on my Singularity shipment. The good news is it wasn’t delivered last week while I was out of town (and stolen, as I feared might be the case). The bad news is it hasn’t even shipped yet & Studio2 are gone to GenCon
Unlucky episode 13 … off to a slow start. Down 42% from the previous three record-breaking first day performances. 🥴 Thought we were on a roll.
Still no Singularity … double checked my survey response to make sure I hadn’t screwed up the address (it’s correct). No idea what’s going on, but I’m officially disgruntled. People to the east and west of me are getting it. Ohio, Arkansas, Texas, California. But nothing here in Arizona. W. T. F?!
ICYMI: I reviewed Core Adventure 2: Last Call at Eneri’s Cantina on the latest episode of Signals from the Core, and make a case for how referees could use it to launch a full Traveller campaign in the fascinating Champ subsector. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

New episode night. Just finished recording and producing episode 13 of Signals from the Core. Should be docking in a couple of hours.
Still no Singularity for this fella. Guess I’ll turn my hopes to Monday 😠 So frustrating
Prof of arrival in the U.S.! Hopefully won’t be long now for me. 🤞🏼
Fresh Traveller goodies arrived today!
I had hoped the Singularity print copies would be waiting for my upon my return from work travels, but alas … really starting to get frustrated with the slow fulfillment for this one. 😠
It’s here! Laminated, dray erase version of the Core Sector map, on heavier stock. I just love it.
Leaving Boston to travel home today. Should’ve packed my Traveller logo t-shirt for the occasion, but alas … Plus, I had one final meeting this morning and had to look presentable
Just received word that my full-size, 28x40 dry erase Core Sector map is out for delivery and should be awaiting me whence I arrive home from my work trip to Boston later this evening. Amazing.
It’s been a relentless couple of weeks. Last week was packed with project deadlines. This week I’m in Boston for three straight days of long meetings, with 12+ hour cross-country travel days on either end and very little time left to work on the next Signals from the Core episode. But then, this:

Anyone else notice the “Traveller Inner Circle” credit seems to be phased out of recent book releases from Mongoose? Wonder why. I’ve also always wondered about the background of that group and why those on it were named to it.
New from @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social: ASLAN HIERATE. Pre-ordered it this morning. Looking forward to digging into the PDF. But part of me still can’t believe this leapfrogged the long-planned, oft-promised ZHODANI CONSULATE book, especially with the ongoing Fifth Frontier War. #TravellerRPG
Finally ordered a glossy, laminated dry erase version of the Core Sector. Leaving tomorrow on a weeklong work trip and it should hopefully be arriving a few days after I’m home. Very Excited.
The Aslan Hierate has arrived! Explore a new region of Charted Space, tangle with duel-happy warlords, and run your own Aslan-centric campaigns. Comes with a massive poster map of a sector deep in Aslan space. www.mongoosepublishing.com/products/the... #ttrpg #TravellerRPG
What are your favorite sci-fi tropes that you’ve adapted into Traveller.
Thank you to everyone who downloaded, streamed, and listened to episode 12 of Signals from the Core. Highest launch day ever for an episode. Appreciate you all.
I had a lot of fun reviewing the first core adventure from @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social. Give it a listen on the latest episode of Signals from the Core, out now wherever you get your podcasts.
Finally reviewed Christopher Griffen’s Core Adventure 1: Invasive Species for Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition on the latest episode of the podcast. It puts the Travellers in a lot of rigmarole and is basically a masterclass in playing the Core’s idle rich. Listen anywhere: pod.link/1830887367
