Another development diary for my Foundry system for Mongoose Traveller. Looking at the quick NPCs feature, plus at how I'm trying to streamline combat for vehicles. #TTRPG #FoundryVTT #TravellerRPG www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sopd...

The Travellers finally leave Sylea, the capital of the fledgling Third Imperium, and head to the world of Khash. It's a dead world, but with an orbital starport that is mostly deserted. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/arri...

Our Knights raid a Saxon stronghold on the south coast, and burn it to the ground. In there we find a letter sealed by the dead King of Orkney. So we race off to find someone who can read in case it is important. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/fort...

In our Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign, we have arrived in Kenya. We catch the train to Nairobi, a journey which is far more exciting than it should be. However, we find a nice hotel and have a pleasant conversation with a journalist. #TTRPG #CallOfCthulhu blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/mask...

The Travellers have arrived back at the Capital Sylea, and are enjoying suddenly becoming very rich. They rename their ship, and go shopping. Lots of shopping. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/loop...

Our Pendragon campaign continues. After failure to take York, we head back south where we have to help our lord acquire huge tracks of land. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/marr...

We had a Saga Age of Invasions battle, replicating our Pendragon game from the other night. It was Saxons and Britons, fighting on the shores of the Humber. #Wargaming #Saga blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/batt...

The Travellers get to the end of the introductory arc of our Milieu Zero campaign for Traveller, visiting the final world which was the irradiated Nirinirk. The Travellers decide to raid a museum and shoot the local wildlife. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/muse...

There is much hatred in our Pendragon game, when the Knights of Arthur are set upon by Saxons near the Humber river. Hatred leads to bonuses to attack rolls, so there is much bloodshed as well and Sir Geoffrey becomes famous in Cornwall. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/the-...

Released MgT2e 0.23.1 for Mongoose Traveller 2e on FoundryVTT. Bug fixes around effects for dodges and parries, support for fractional cargo amounts and updates to the NPC generator. #TravellerRPG #TTRPG Also, a new Dev Diary video talking about the NPC Generator: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCG5...

A completely new set of battleboards for Saga Age of Vikings have been released recently. Some boards are tweaks, some have some quite big changes. We decided to revisit the Vikings and Irish to see how the two armies played under the new rules. #Wargaming blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/new-...

The Travellers in our Milieu Zero campaign are getting to the end of their shakedown cruise. They just need to figure out what to do with their pirate who is also key to a corruption scandal and sell lots of illegal goods for a decent profit. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/10/a-pr...

In our Traveller campaign, the Travellers discovering that the pirate captain they have captured has a colourful past. Accused of corruption she had fled a military tribunal half a dozen years ago. But maybe there's another side to her story? #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/09/the-...

So our Traveller game this week went completely sideways into unexpected territory, as the players took options I haven't seen for a long while. It was a lot of fun for all of us. What do you do with pirates when you're outside the Imperium? #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/09/pira...

In our Pendragon campaign, we head to Dunwich to find the Saxon witch that lives there. She has blighted the land with a silver plague, and it is our duty as knights of the round table to deal with her and heal the land. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/09/the-...

We had a bit of a different game this week at wargaming. I'd picked up Hide, Stone, and Bone, as well as some paleolithic tribesmen figures and a mammoth. So we had a few fun skirmish games with Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens hunting and being hunted. #Wargaming blog.notasnark.net/2026/09/mamm...

The Travellers go on a long train journey then head to Smoke City to investigate the last of the factions on the world. The journalist gets some good footage of sweaty steam train firemen whilst others have a picnic several kilometres above. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/09/smok...

We had a game of Saga: Age of Chivalry, with the French assaulting an English held castle. We used some rules I've heavily modified to handle the siege aspects of the game, with catapults, ladders, breaching walls and fighting on battlements. #Wargaming #Saga blog.notasnark.net/2026/09/into...

The Travellers in our Milieu Zero campaign are investigating the port of Landing on the world of Iirkkhu. Where are the weapons coming from? What are the Bandits up to? And which bar has the best refreshments? #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/09/sex-...

We are back to Pendragon, with our band of Knights chasing down some Saxons and rescuing peasants and Ladies. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/08/the-...

After a couple of weeks away, it was good to get back to our Traveller Milieu Zero campaign. The Travellers are at a new world, which is lacking both government and law. So what levers can they pull to get the world to join the Imperium? #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/08/iirk...

A game of Saga: Age of Invasions, with the Romans and Saxons battling each other in a clash of warlords. It ended up being a very one sided game, with the Dice Gods having their obvious favourites. The misuse of mercenaries didn't help either. #Wargaming #Saga blog.notasnark.net/2026/08/rise...

The Travellers arrive at the world of Vlaakier, a water world with cities built from ships. The Travellers are here to find some samples of the large worms that live in the ocean. They do some diving and argue politics with the locals. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/08/worm...

Released new version of MgT2e for FoundryVTT, along with a video to explain the new features. First beta version of support for Robots, plus a new sheet that adds initial support for the new Vehicle rules. All WIP but available to try. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG #FoundryVTT www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLPB...

Back to our Milieu Zero campaign for Traveller, and the Travellers are investigating a world that has potential to join the fledgling Imperium. An official population of 800 living in the rusting ruins of underground cities. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/07/citi...

We get an audience with the King of Cornwall, who still seems to have a grievance because Merlin and Uther did some magical trickery. This time though, there is no energetic dancing, and nobody tries to runs off with anyone's wife. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/07/a-sh...

The Travellers are at the world of Miium, which is run by Tech Priests who say prayers and rituals to keep the machines running. There are only a few people here, living in the ruins of cities that once supported billions. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/07/ruin...

Our three knights (plus squires, falcons and multiple sets of horses) reach Exeter, only to find that the Cornish King has gone north. He is seeking to raise a fleet to do battle against the Irish, who have been raiding his lands. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/07/a-be...

After a break of a few weeks, we are back to our Traveller campaign. The Travellers finish their exploration of the world of Khishnar, which has seen disaster for three waves of settlers. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/07/the-...

And part 2: #TravellerRPG 's Capital (but in Pandora's place in the universe). Dense atmosphere, ~0.68g surface gravity and that propagating to terminal velocity.

We are back to our Pendragon campaign, where we get lost in a forest (we left the road, always a bad idea) and then encounter the Beast of Bodmin Moor. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/07/a-be...

A quick update on my work on Mongoose Traveller on Foundry. I've been adding support for the new Vehicle rules, plus got sidelined into supporting Robots. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG #FoundryVTT youtu.be/L8-STerxUw8

It is our first Winter session for our Pendragon campaign, so much time is spent going carefully through the rules on wintering. Then we consider throwing a Saxon into a pit, because he's a Saxon and we don't like them. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/06/wint...

Session 23 of our Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. We leave Egypt, and catch a steamer down towards Kenya. There is excitement at Aden, and also aboard the ship. But we get to Kenya with your sanity intact. #TTRPG #CallOfCthulhu blog.notasnark.net/2026/06/mask...

Last night's session of Traveller had the Travellers investigating an abandoned Solomani settlement on a world. They find the wreck of a ship, some old overgrown buildings and a room full of small boxes. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/06/boxe...

The Travellers reach the world of Kishnar, which has a small colony of hippies. However, they're having health problems, and some of the children don't seem too bright. It's an opportunity for some pseudo-scientific biology. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/06/kish...

In our game of Pendragon this week, we get to take part in a rather important wedding. There is fighting, chasing of hounds, kidnapping of ladies in white and more fighting. We round things off with some raids on Saxon lands, because why not? #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/06/a-we...

We try out some simulated starship combat in our Traveller game this week, to give the players an idea of how it works. The main takeaway is that it's expensive even when you win. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/06/pira...

Our game of Pendragon begins with a grand battle to rescue a young Lady. I start by rolling a fumble, my opponent rolls a critical, and I am left dying of a mortal wound on the floor. Things could have gone better. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/06/a-te...

Another session of our Milieu Zero campaign for Traveller. The Travellers are getting involved in local politics, helping a politician's predictions about the reliability of their home grown power plants come true. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/how-...

Our Pendragon game continues, with some hunting via hounds and falcons. There are strangers in the woods, but they're obviously not important. That night, the castle of Leodegrance is assaulted by Saxons who try to kidnap his daughter. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/a-ki...

The latest session of our Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. We finish what we need to do in Egypt. I make a friend, Carlston does not, and we dissolve some golden artefacts to get rid of them. #TTRPG #CallOfCthuhlhu blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/mask...

Someone raised a question on Reddit about how damage worked in my Mongoose Traveller system for Foundry. So it seemed like a good topic to do a short video on. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG #FoundryVTT www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja4t...

Another session of our Traveller RPG campaign set in Milieu 0. The Travellers have begun their Shakedown Cruise of their Frontier class Lab Ship. They arrive at the world of Shaaak, a run down bureaucratic world in need of Fusion+ #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/shaa...

In our Pendragon Campaign, we continue our questing, including meeting a Black Knight on a bridge. We reach the castle of Leodegrance, and meet his daughter, Guenever. My flirting skill comes in useful (not with Guenever), though not my dancing. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/a-fe...

Another session of our Traveller game for the Milieu 0 setting. The Travellers have reached Sylea, the capital of the new Third Imperium. They can pick up their ship, sign contracts and mortgage agreements, and plan their next steps. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/syle...

Our second session of our Pendragon campaign. We are newly knighted, and being sent on a Quest before heading to the marriage of King Arthur. #TTRPG #Pendragon blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/a-qu...

We are starting a game of Pendragon, set in the Boy King era. So we're getting to play knights in the time of King Arthur. I'm not entirely certain how knightly my Sir Geoffrey is going to turn out to be though. blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/tale... #TTRPG #Pendragon

A long weekend, so time for another development diary video for Mongoose Traveller 2e on FoundryVTT. This coincides with the 0.20 release, which updates how status effects work. Also adds in support for French localisation. #TTRPG #TravellerRPG #FoundryVTT www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7CG...

A game of Saga: Age of VIkings, playing the Urban Uprising scenario using Anglo-Danes and Vikings. #Wargames blog.notasnark.net/2026/05/urba...
