Great show, man. Thanks for all your hard work to bring this classic game to everyone.
I want to encourage you to continue the pod! I have recently rediscovered the Traveller RPG thanks to a good friend. We are enjoying the immense latitude of the game. Your podcast fits perfectly into my newfound foray into the stars.
Really appreciate you bringing this setting to life
Lots of useful ideas and well-presented.
This is a really well conceived, produced and delivered podcast to support adventures in the Imperial Core. I hadn’t considered running adventures there but this podcast has changed my mind. Captain Aurelius’ passion for the setting shines through in the form of insights, guidance and scenario hooks. Even if you don’t intend to have your Travellers visit the Core Sector, I thoroughly recommend this podcast as adding greatly to available content for Mongoose Traveller 2e.

A standout trait is the creator's hands-on approach to running campaigns—providing sandbox-style guidance, table-ready hooks, and a consistent emphasis on how power, protocol, and leverage shape adventures. Listeners likely enjoy dense world‑building, system‑specific strategies, and ready-to-use scenario s... more
