Yahoo E-Groups:

OTEATPE-groups are like Web-Boards with some extra features, like sharing files, and getting e-mail.

Chat:

There are different types of chats. One of the oldest types is IRC (Internet Relay Chat). IRC uses a network of many servers that are connected together. To connect to an IRC network You can use an IRC-client. Traveller fans from all the world has been using IRC since the 90s.

More info about #traveller @ Undernet.

In the Mozilla Thunderbird mail-client there is also a chat-client that can be used. Select your nick and an Undernet server (e.g. Chicago.IL.US.Undernet.org) and join #traveller.

Some older chat-logs are saved by the internet archive.

Discord:


Links:

A few important links can be found in the links to the left. <-

TML LandgrabI wish the old TML Landgrab worked better. It was a really cool idea.

The old web-rings for Traveller doesn’t really work very well anymore.

Shop:

If Your Friendly Local Gaming Store (FLGS) doesn’t have what You want, then You can probably find it on the internet.

At Ebay You can search for Traveller stuff in the Sci-Fi roleplaying section. (Buying from Ebay might be insecure…)

At DriveThruRPG you can buy both pdf and print versions of both new and old Traveller products.


Usenet:

Use(less)net is also known as News or NNTP. This is a very old discussion system. In many news groups there are too much spam now, but some news groups are better. There are no pure Traveller news groups (that I know of), but there are some RPG groups that can be useful. (WARNING! Do not post your e-mail address to a news group if You don’t like spam!) Google has archived a lot of the usenet and google has a good search function. It can be interesting to search for old posts about Traveller. In the three groups listed below you can find some posts about Traveller.

rec.games.frp.gurps at Google or at your own NNTP server.

rec.games.frp.misc at Google or at your own NNTP server.

rec.games.frp.announce at Google or at your own NNTP server.

BeRKA stopped wasting his time with use(less)net many years ago.
