Thats the same designer thats now doing it for Mongoose, Colin Dunn. Its set after the Kafer war. If I'm gonna play 2300AD I would expect to start before or during that war. And as I've said, the rules system has no appeal for me.
But
The new 2300AD IS available for pre order on the Mongoose website here
Cover art looks nice, but then 2300AD always had good cover art... Ofc It will be the standard mongoose Traveller rules tho...
Will be interesting to see what they do with making travelling around friendlier and dealt with in a little more detail than previously (A bit sketchy and too open for a game that rests on the idea of travelling between the stars), as well as handling the ships you're piloting. Always seemed to lack a little info on standard trade routes, stopping off points and services and frankly feel/atmosphere at those points. (trawling through memory here)
I dont know anything about this game Pansophy, are you playing it as is, or for your 2300AD setting or another?
