To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hello Pinback!

Actually, Hi to everyone, since I've never formally done so. I've posted elsewhere on the site and about various topics.

Love space sims, love space rpgs. I'm disappointed to have to put Privateer: the Reckoning on a shelf for now, but I've other things I'm working on as well. Pinback made the request for the "Traveller Traders" card and dice game I re-imagined and brought to the Thoth Engine. Here's the info and links:

Don't know if folk have heard of Warpspawn Games ( http://www.angelfire.com/games2/warpspawn/ ) or not, but they are a collective of card and board game enthusiasts and creators; all free for personal use and such. Several games found on the site have be adapted to the free card-game engine known as Thoth ( http://digilander.libero.it/zak965/thoth/ ).

The game file is graciously hosted at The Traveller Freeport ( http://www.travellerfreeport.com/index. ... lect&id=23). You must have the Thoth game engine installed to play this. The game ruleset is "ruleset.pdf" found in the game file. At least have a look at the first 2 pages so the game screen make sense. The rules can be called-up during game play by pressing "F2". I am really pleased with the visual candy I put together for this game :mrgreen:

Take note, as mentioned at the end of the ruleset PDF, there are 2 expansions to this game. I'm looking at adding these expansions during 2010! Actually, I'm currently looking at adapting the expansion with the "Vassel" engine and make the game play more dynamic than just drawing cards...

Enjoy

PS: don't forget to have a look around the WarpSpawn game site, there are a lot of free Gems there- and look for other Thoth conversions too!

Glad you like 😀

I've followed Traveller ever since, oh, 1979 when I was... oh, gulp...13 😯

I'm looking at the Vassel engine at the moment for the expanded rule-set and hoping to make card-draws automatic as well as adding more freedom for the player/user.

Thanks!
