Today we’re going to share with you a corporation you can use in your game. DuWayne Cargo… Read More
Games in the Solomani Rim are in a much more civilized region of space than the Spinward Marches. As such, games have less of a rough and tumble feel to them. Or do they?

Since my first Traveller game, I’ve heard nothing but jokes about low berth passengers. “Why would anyone take that? You might die.” “It’s the way to go for those that don’t like their lives.” While there is a chance, I no longer think it is the ludicrous option that I use to. Background: for those not familiar, Traveller has a standard mode of transit known as low passage. Here, a person climbs… Read More

A little background, the Solomani Rim is the home of Earth (Terra) and some of the most civilized and densely populated systems in space. Here megacorps are everywhere and in every aspect of life. Major shipping companies have… Read More

Other times, you want to make a homage to something you absolutely love in movies or tv. The same goes true with vehicles in Traveller. Recently, I rewatched Spaceballs. That movie will NEVER get old as far as I am concerned. Remaking Spaceball One would… Read More
As of the time I am writing this, I only have 3 more vehicles to add to the upcoming Solomani Worlds: Vehicles from the Rim and it is ready to go to editing. This makes me think of the step after that: layout. one question I have had this entire project is how should these vehicles be organized.

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
