A podcast about adventuring in the Core Sector of the Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition Role Playing Game. Follow everywhere: https://linktr.ee/signalsfromthecore
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.
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...

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:
What are your favorite sci-fi tropes that you’ve adapted into Traveller.
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
ICYMI: New episode of Signals from the Core is up. I examine the business of distraction in the Imperial Core, with a look at entertainment types and the gear used to consume it. Plus, System Spotlights and a review of Invasive Species. Find it wherever you get podcasts: pod.link/1830887367

As much as I love and am committed to running games set in the MgT2e version of Traveller’s Charted Space setting, I’m finding a lot of rich background info for the Third Imperium to mine from other editions, too. Picked these two up recently, and they’re phenomenal. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG

The band-on-the-run Infinity Suite ports to the Core fairly intact, and the megastar fame loop gets sharper where there’s thicker celebrity press. But the threat will shift with the band blundering through other obstacles … Chanestin separatists, maybe? (Trying not to be too spoilery).
ICYMI: Beyond the Imperial Palace and the halls of power lies a world of mega cities, bureaucracy, industry and ambition you can use to fuel your Traveller campaigns. Take the tour of Capital on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. open.spotify.com/episode/7962...

Reminder: Episode 8 releases Sunday night just after midnight eastern time. It’s a follow-up to last episode looking at referee techniques for bringing established crews into a new campaign where they may need to shake up the status quo to make things work. Hope you’ll check it out.
Just this advice on starting a Traveller campaign. Roll up 2 or 3 worlds. Create a patron to hire the characters to do something and bring the PCs together Create 3 obstacles or challenges to make it harder. Make it science fictiony. Describe the weird planet and creatures. Waaah-Laaaa!
