I'm new to the Traveller. I have run TNE only a few times but I have followed
Traveller material from the Challenge where I scrounged new ideas for my own
game. I have to say that I respect the Imperial history, in fact I'd like to
know even more so I could use it in my RC campaign.
If anybody haven't answered to you already about Regency, RC(ES), Star Vikings
terms, here it comes. Regency is in Deneb and beyond, RC (Reformation Coalition)
is in Old Expanses sector. RCES is RC's exploratory service. Star Vikings
are those relatively independent people who work for themselves and/or for
RC. Comprende?
In fact although I criticized TNE's background a bit I don't mean that I don't
*like* the setting. It is true that it allows PCs to interact with their
surroundings the way that affects whole RC and known universe! I remember
that someone had the Universal Universe Profile (or something like that) idea
here in tml, in that TNE has greater number than CT/MT in which indicates
how much PCs can alterate their universe. I'd like to hear more about UUP.
At first I thought that TNE is Twilight:2000 goes Traveller, but it is true
that TNE has more optimistic attitude that T2000. I can't wait to get my
greedy fingers to that Path of Tears, it sounds like a good product for me.
Someone said that it takes lots of time to gather that much army to control
large area. It is true if you are talking about unsettled area, but in the
Wilds there is lots of people and when a planet joins RC it adds it's own
army to the RC's whole army.
And if Rodge would like to continue his journal/novel about that adventure
I'd be very happy, I think it was great.
I have to admit that I like more about that background discuss than that
rules vs. reality when it comes to things that are relevant in TLs over our
own (i.e. ftl ships). But I'd prefer the kind of discussion which helps to
better one's campaign and give new ideas of adventure because as someone said
Traveller = ADVENTURE, I second that!
