Thank you for your help! The Kicktraq gnomes will get to work on your suggestions very soon.

Please keep in mind not all suggestions may be used, and repeated re-submissions may result in being rejected automatically (and we don't want that to happen).

If you have any questions, have a good idea for a tag, or a more in-depth suggestion - please feel free to let us know!

Ok
Hrm... something went wrong.
Hey, bad things happen to the best of us. Don't worry, the gnomes have been dispatched. Maybe try again in a little while.

Ok

We’ve Broken 1,000!

June 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
I consider the number of backers the primary measure, and breaking 1,000 is a great milestone. Thank you to all of you for your votes of support. This project is almost complete, and we’re looking forward to the next steps. You are all going to be... (Read More)

We just broke the 900 Backer level. Thank you.

May 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
I am so very appreciative of your support of this project. Thank you. I can’t say that I am surprised, but the hidden gem in this project is the TCard Deck. I’ve used these cards as Mustering Out Benefits when I run “Can You Survive Character... (Read More)

The Captain's Benefit Deck

May 15th - via: kickstarter.com
There has been a question about the Captain’s Benefit Deck. The Basic 54-card Benefit Deck (we’re calling these TCards [for Traveller Cards]) is an assortment of Worlds, Weapons, Starships, Arcane Tasks, Medals, and other cards that are helpful... (Read More)

Space Combat In Traveller5

May 10th - via: kickstarter.com
Some things need to age for a while, and if they do they are better for it. I concede that one of the weak points in Traveller5 has been space combat. It is patterned on boardgame or miniatures combat and concerns itself with spaceships shooting at... (Read More)

Let’s talk about shipping.

May 10th - via: kickstarter.com
The 3-Book Set (packaged) is about 10 pounds shipping weight. It includes the CDROM (and some packages include the TCard deck). We are concerned with package survivability, so we double box the books. Just the packaging boxes cost us about $4 (in... (Read More)

What precisely have we done for this edition?

May 8th - via: kickstarter.com
Inquiring minds want to know. Soon after release of T5.0, Don McKinney began compiling an errata for the book. That material consisted of typographical fixes, formatting fixes, and rules clarifications, and general suggestions. Much of that was... (Read More)

The Crew IDs

May 7th - via: kickstarter.com
I wanted to talk briefly about the Crew ID Cards. We have created two sets of 120 cards, which is 40 sets of six cards: SpaceHand, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st Officers, and Captain. They have random names, UPPs, and appropriate skills. Each set is for a... (Read More)

Stretch Goals

May 7th - via: kickstarter.com
It has become a tradition, even a necessity, to have stretch goals on projects like these, but I am not clear that (at least on this one) that stretch goals would not be a detriment. I want to make this project come out, in great condition, on time,... (Read More)

TCards. What are TCards?

May 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Thank you all for your support on this project. I appreciate it. Let's talk about the cards in some of the rewards. Role-playing games benefit from illustrations: images help understand what the words tell us. But printing the pictures in the book is... (Read More)
