She’s a witch!

Oh. I meant to portray that the doctor says a similar line twice. Once outside before the statue, and a second time inside the bar.

No, this must be going mad feels like.

No problem!

Yeah, I guess I was just completely disconnected on the real hazard of depressurization. It’s not just about holding your breath.

The worst part is that I have read about this stuff in several contexts. Maybe it’s just that it’s not a common part of my life.

Thanks for the link. I’d forgotten about this. Of course, I’ve only read it phrased in the scenarios where scuba divers resurface too fast.

I guess my proposed solution only works within a pressurized environment.

You can’t? Huh. I’ve got some reading to do.

Edit: there’s another comment with a relevant link. The problem seems to be the pressure difference, regardless of your previous actions.

Thanks for the reminder. I still remember people talking about the “realistic” scene in Titan AE, where the protagonist expels the air from his lungs before venturing into space.

Anyway, maybe I can fix it and say that you can take a few short breaths to oxygenate and then let go.

Same thing happened to me when I discovered it.

You probably figured it out already, but in case you didn’t: the video I posted before is part of a playlist, and it’s an excellent way to get acquainted with the game.

And thus… the existance of this community is now officially worthwhile. ;)

BTW, There’s also a Traveller-specific community: (!Traveller@ttrpg.network)

Traveller is one of the oldest RPGs out there. And here’s just the video that explains how to use it:

I sort of became lost with Stellagama’s offerings after the Cepheus family. 😅

Anyway, Quantum does ring a bell, but Quantum Dark didn’t.

Edit: turns out I do own the base Quantum PDF. That’s why it rung a bell, I guess.

Hadn’t heard of this one.

Oooh. TIL.

Ah, I assume you missed it. Last month’s Humble Bundle did include Cyberpunk Red.

It was kinda pricey, though.

Cool. Hadn’t even heard of that one.

Gave it a quick glance… apparently it doesn’t “break character” absolutely anywhere.

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:

Edit (May 2nd) - Traveller5 bundle includes: Traveller5 Core Rules 3-Book Set, T5 Starships & Spacecraft deck plans, and T5 Gazelle-Class Close Escorts

I must confess I’ve never tried his builds. Mostly because I don’t have easy access to a color printer and the last time I tried grayscale papercraft it was underwhelming.

Alas, I usually try making fantasy ruins out of cardboard and scraps. If it ends up crooked, the more ruined they look. 😉

Does anyone know the story about this edition? It does seem like it was intended to be faxed. 😅

Wait… did you even get to use fax machines? Geez, I’m old.

Anyway, while I didn’t play Traveller back in the day, this edition holds a special place in my heart. I had watched Seth Skorkowsky’s videos (I think he had completed the full series, not too long ago if you’re keeping score) and thought: this is the game I want to play. But I was absolutely broke. I got started with Cepheus Engine SRD, because I didn’t even know if my players would like it and didn’t want to spend money that I didn’t even have. I think I got this facsimile edition for $1, and I was ecstatic.

Granted, I had everything truly necessary out of the Cepheus Engine SRD, but I felt like I was chipping in somehow.

Thanks Marc!
