In this episode, besides reading some X-boat transmissions and talking about some Imperial News, we talk a bit about some articles in the Classic Traveller: Out of the Box series from Chris Kubasik on his Tales to Astound blog.

It’s no secret (since we talk about is constantly) what we use Classic Traveller in our campaign. Chris’s exploration of CT is one of the best on the web, and really got us thinking.

We’re back!

In this episode Jeff and Bob do their best to explain their way out of the fact that it’s been nearly two years since they recorded together!

Seriously, we thank all the listeners who have stuck with us. We love doing the podcast.

We jump into some X-Boat Transmissions and hear from numerous listeners.  Bob then corrects a rules mistake he made about blade throwing in Classic Traveller two years ago. It’s a great rule, and Bob throws in another Earl Dumarest example.

We then to through some fun Traveller/Cepheus Engine-related Internet Finds, quickly discuss some Imperial News, and Bob thanks John Watts of Independence Games for his massive generosity.
