No politics, just fun.
Most posts are in English, but l'm a German. If I sound a bit clumsy from time to time, that's why.

Caught planetside as the Outworld Coalition invasion fleets arrive, the Travellers witness a planetary invasion from far too close. The Fall of Lanth has begun.

#TravellerRPG session report:
It was a short session on Wednesday and, unfortunately, one of the players was unable to attend.
The remaining players went shopping to equip themselves for a hostage rescue mission (the ‘Hard Vacuum’ adventure ‘Wounded Lion’).
They stormed the asteroid base from two sides, secured the captive princess, the pirates’ spaceship and the engine room, and switched off the lights and artificial gravity throughout.
In the next session, they’ll have to clear the rest of the base of pirates.
When you enter the abyss of empty space, each new jump could reveal ancient mysteries and forgotten wonders... or leave you stranded for a slow death in deep space.

Pre-orders are huge for getting copies on the shelves of bookstores and libraries, already a tough task for a small press, so try not to wait until pub day to pick up Haunted Space: Paradise for Extinction. Plus, it’d be a privilege to sign my book for you. ⬇️
In Adam Kovac’s HAUNTED SPACE, traveling between stars means passing through a dimension that can drive you mad just by looking outside. And that’s only the commute.
Every preorder is signed by Adam. Signed copies are preorder-only...

If the Zhodani succeed in capturing Lanth, they will be within striking distance of the Spinward Main and ready to cut off the main Imperial communications artery to Regina and Jewell.
The Fall of Lanth releases at the end of the week!

The Vargr are the only species in Charted Space known to be uplifted by the Ancients, who genetically engineered them from Terran wolf stock.
Learn what that means to the Vargr in Aliens of Charted Space Vol. 1 Update 2026, coming soon!

Warships may win battles, but logistics wins wars.
The Imperial Navy maintains a network of bases and depots to brief, supply, and maintain frontline vessels of all shapes and sizes.

Ganulph was once a comfortable world, but a catastrophic munitions detonation during the Fourth Frontier War left it a barren wasteland incapable of supporting life.

The Eagle is landing... soon!
Moonbase Alpha's iconic workhorse, the Eagle Transporter, is more than just a ship: she's a vital player in Space: 1999 and now, she's also a 30cm (12 inch) Die-Cast Model replica.
Pre-order today! 🚀👨🚀
An unwary Traveller might hear 'herbivore' and think 'pacifist', but a swarm of Quickening Thunder fighters will swiftly disabuse them of that notion.
Aliens of Charted Space Vol. 1 Update 2026 releases at the end of the month!

Happy birthday, Sci-fi Queen. 🥳
Sigourney Weaver has also voiced a spaceship two times (the Female Planet Express Ship in Futurama, 2002, and the Axiom from Wall-E, 2008).
The Ancients have godlike powers, but they are not invulnerable. An epic battle ends with the Travellers in a position to remove all Ancients from existence, and facing a choice: kill the gods… or replace them?

So my players asked for some ass-kicking action and they'll get it tonight in "Hard Vacuum 12 - Wounded Lion" where they help a dying merc to restore honor and free a princess.

I’m bumping this post, which received 81 fascinating replies that you should check out if you love sci-fi in all its forms. And I’m asking the question again:
Have you been working on anything sci-fi-related lately? 🖖
Have you been working on anything sci-fi-related lately?
Artwork, design, book, game, a movie, a TV show, a documentary, a video, a podcast, an article, a model, an asset, a prop, a costume, a new life form—whatever it is, feel free to share under this post so we can all discover some cool stuff! 🖖
Secrets of the Ancients is an amazing campaign.
And if you haven't checked out my monster 10-part review & campaign diary for it, you definitely should. It offers tips, tricks, new resourses, and the unhinged madness of how my players handled it.

Historians speak of a race which dominated known space for millennia, accomplishing great works and playing god with sentient life. The scholars are wrong about only one thing - the Ancients are not all gone.

Because I love the Traveller RPG, especially Classic Traveller... I've got to share this Page 121 video overview of some great bundles for others to get into the game!

I have most of these (I bought the CD-ROMs from Far Future Enterprises).
An ultra-advanced base buried beneath a mountain sounds like a story tailor-made to attract Ancients-hunting conspiracy theorists. That doesn’t mean it's not true...

Rraerrgdzakaek is a peaceful agricultural world in the Touchstone sector, and this is just a simple delivery job.
Surely those hooded Vargr surrounding the ship are nothing to worry about...?

Piracy and ihatei raiding are rife in the Buffer, a sprawling neutral zone caught between the Third Imperium, the Solomani Confederation, the Aslan Hierate - and the howling emptiness of the Great Rift.

Any Traveller player would have seen the similarities to the RPG. The Systems Commonwealth’s space navy was called the High Guard. References to the Long Night. Small couriers ships for interstellar communications. And the Eureka Maru and her crew would fit very nicely into any Traveller campaign.
The name 'Akiva' will inspire Imperial tank crews and strike fear into the hearts of their enemies for years to come.
Captain Akiva's last stand on Aramanx may not have swung the tide of the war, but it's a testament to the power of Imperial Army hardware.

ICYMI: The latest episode of Signals from the Core examines how to use Solo 2nd Edition from Zozer Games to run your own adventures in the Core Sector of the Third Imperium in Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition. Check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...#TravellerRPG#TTRPG
Episode 17 is out now. We’re looking at how to play Traveller solo in the Core Sector using Paul Elliott’s SOLO Second Edition from Zozer Games. We cover the book’s tools, how to use them in Core, and which of its six campaign types fit the setting best.

Taken from "Traveller, Book 1: Characters and Combat" (1977). It's strange to see folks insisting solo RPGs are a post-Forge phenomenon when there's a really obvious example of a game nearly as old as the medium that both acknowledges the practice and provides frameworks explicitly designed for it.

It was a blast! 😀
We were riding rickshaws through the English Garden, made 2 loops aroud the Chinese Tower and are most likely in dozens if not hundreds of insta stories, because there were so many tourists cheering and filming us... 😀
And we had just the best weather 🌞
I'll be at a wedding of two of my friends for the next two days.
I know both since 15-20 years through rpg. 🙂
They've a professional photographer for the ceremony, but I'll do the documentary photography afterwards, packing my two Canon 5Ds now. 📸 📸
