Traveller RPG blog (duh). Focusing primarily on Classic Traveller and Mongoose Traveller
It's been a while since my last post, but I've been busy working on a new Traveller supplement, tentatively titled Starports and Bases . The project draws inspiration from Judge's Guild's Fifty Starbases and other published works featuring starports and similar facilities. The goal is to create a collection of detailed, high-quality starports and other facilities for use in your Traveller games.…
I just wanted to give a quick shout out to some creative tools developed for use with the Starship Geomorph image files. The good folks at Role Generator have created a Random Starship Generator, which takes user input and creates either a randomly generated starship deck plan or presents a random, pre-generated ship plan. The image base uses those created from Starship Geomorphs 2.0 and various…
A Peapod Class Mobile Refinery emerges from the atmosphere of a gas giant. A late entry into the Adventure Class Starship Geomorphs community design series. Here is the twenty-second, and final (for real this time) ship. Again, thanks to all who participated. Click [HERE] to download a PDF of the ship shown above, designed by Iván Ortega. Enjoy!
Here is the twenty-first, and final, ship in the Traveller community design series using the Adventure Class Starship Geomorphs book. I want to thank those who participated for sharing their skills and creativity, and showing how far geomorph-based ships can be pushed with some effort. While I will no longer be accepting geomorph layouts from the community, I may from time to time add deck plans…
"Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now." - Somali pirate Abduwali Muse to Richard Phillips, captain of the MV Maersk Alabama I happened to watch the film Captain Phillips recently. Great movie. While thumbing through my Traveller books a few days later I came across the Pecah Breacher Shuttle in Mongoose's Specialist Forces . I hadn't given the shuttle too much thought before, but this time…
Original sketch circa 2000 I often carry around a pocket sized sketchbook - Moleskine or similar - to capture random ideas, work out whatever problems I'm trying to solve, etc. For Traveller, these sketchbooks are the perfect size for a single deck plan of about 100 dtons. As a result, I've got a couple dozen of these ships deck plans (of varying quality), but they've sat unattended for about a…
[Update 2025-08-19: High Guard stats have been updated to reflect Computer/10 and Jump Control/2. This decreases the cost by about MCr4.5, but does not otherwise impact the ship design.] Here is the twentieth in the series of starships, small craft, and vehicles designed by members of the Traveller community using the Adventure Class Starship Geomorphs book. This series invites players and…
I'm introducing a new feature to the Yet Another Traveller Blog : The Refit Yard . From time to time I will be taking previously published classic Traveller starships and giving them an overhaul; updating specifications to Mongoose Traveller High Guard rules, updating deck plan graphics to my preferred style, fixing perceived deck plan irregularities, proposing ship variants, and creating new…

If you’ve ever flipped through an old Journal of the Travellers’ Aid Society or a classic Traveller supplement, you’ve probably noticed the distinct look of the text - it’s more than nostalgia, it’s design. Traveller has a legacy of unique fonts, from the clean, utilitarian typefaces used in JTAS articles to custom fonts created specifically for the game’s logos, headers, and ship schematics. Over…

Here is the sixteenth entry in the series of community designed geomorph layouts, this one using both the Adventure Class Starship Geomorphs book and the Starship Geomorphs 2.0 book. This one is a little different, and instead of a starship, geomorphs were used to create a building, in this case an underground prison facility. Lots of roleplaying opportunities here. Enjoy!
