Today is Valentine’s Day. Why not make a Valentine Subsector?
The Planet Valentine is the Subsector Capital. The other planets are named after Love Gods/Goddesses. The adjacent Subsectors are named after 80’s Love Songs. The Heart Nebula (a bit skewed) is used as a background. Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2016!
While at a bar at the StarTown at Tremous Dex (SM-1311) and drinking a very black beer with a creamy head the PCs are approaches by a very small man in green clothes.
He says that he may be able to trust you since you are drinking the black beer. He says that he needs your help to retrieve a stolen treasure at Zenopit (SM-1010), just a few parsecs away…
Now please continue this story inspired of the image above…
I also wanted to remind you of Eire Subsector and the pdf with adventure ideas that you can download for free.

Happy Halloween
Did you know that there are two worlds called Hell in the Charted Space. One in Ilelish Sector and one in the Old Expanses.
The Derelict (by Ben Overmyer) is an interesting Halloween Adventure.
Challenge #46 has some fine ideas for Halloween as well.
What are you playing tonight? 😈
Halloween scenarios for Traveller
I have heard that there exists other games that might be easer to adapt for Halloween. There is even a horror game from GDW. But I want to play Traveller. So what are my options?
If you want to play a horror scenario for Traveller, then I would say that you should have a look at Challenge #46. It is a Special Horror Issue.
(DrivethruRPG is showing the wrong issue)
In this issue you can find a 6-page article about scary wizards and witches, with three interesting adventure hooks. There is a four page scenario with some nasty surprises about salvaging a haunted scout-ship. The final (and maybe most scary) scenario is about encountering a ghost ship in jump space. It is written by Mike Mikesh. This scenario also includes deckplans of a 600-ton subsidized liner. All of these articles for Traveller are very good and usable. But there is more…
There is a scenario for Twilight: 2000, one for Space: 1889, one for 2300 AD, one for Cyberpunk, two for Shadowrun, one for Torg, two for Call of Cthulhu, one for Star Wars and one other (for fun). The one for 2300 AD would be easy to adapt for Traveller if you need another scenario.
Other horror scenarios for Traveller can also be found in:
- Challenge #54: This is another Special Horror Issue.
- Double Adventure 5: The Chamax Plague / Horde that could be turned into an Alien style bug hunt. (Also in JTAS #17)
- JTAS 16: An Amber Zone scenario (called The Day of the Glow) about “Vampires”.
- JTAS 15: An Amber Zone scenario (called chill) also about “Vampires”.
- JTAS 5: An Amber Zone scenario (called The Werewolf Disease) that isn’t about vampires.
EDIT: DriveThruRPG has now updated the cover image. Challenge #46 is now number 1 in the Top 100 Products list.
