Last year we started our Guide to series with the Guide to Mini-Bosses and Guide to Minions. Today we are continuing the series with the Guide to Evil Organizations. Lets call our evil organization “Evil, Inc.” This doesn’t have to be a corporation; this works equally well for a dark religion, cruel governments and the like. Understanding how such groups operate will make your portrayal of them more believable and realistic. So… Read More

However, it is really hard to do so when you have a blank background. That is the exact reason why I created the Star Battles line. This gives you asteroid fields to fly through, space stations to defend,… Read More

I still think Animal (riding) or Athletics (endurance) should be the skill to drive these. Be sure to support us by downloading our Traveller books exclusively at DriveThruRPG. Name Beast-Drawn Carriage TL 1 Skill Drive (wheel) Agility -1 Speed (Cruise) Very Slow (Idle) Range (Cruise) Pulling creature… Read More
Right now, it is the middle of the night and I can’t sleep. Earlier in the day, I was wondering about vehicles for low-tech worlds. Sure there aren’t many worlds in the OTU that are tech level 1-3, but there are some and there are like 3 vehicles for them in the Vehicle Handbook. So while I can’t sleep, I figured I’d make an uncomplicated one for you. Here’s a nice chariot… Read More

When you’ve been around as long as JBE has, you look at your older work and can be proud of what you did for your level of experience but can’t help but see how you can do things better. Creatures of Distant Worlds is a prime example of this. The MGT 1e version of the book was a solid monster book, but it was a struggle to produce even that little book… Read More

As I have discussed elsewhere, I am working on the Solomani Worlds for Traveller. Since then, I was asked if a group of people trying to eek out a living at the edge of the law was possible there considering that so much of the sector is under heavy-handed, represive Imperial puppet governments. My instinct was to answer yes, citing a number of problems in the region. But my mind kept working… Read More
