2300AD to return
Mongoose just made the announcement today that a Traveller-powered version of 2300AD would be produced and released by Mongoose in 2011.
Written by me. |
It'd better be awesome... We don't want no fans lynching you... Now, Back to work!
|
I am envious and in awe already!
|
So, let's see... GDW releases a game called "Traveller: 2300" that doesn't bear any resemblance - in either system or setting - to their flagship product, "Traveller".
Now, Mongoose is going to release a setting called "2300AD", named for the re-release of what was originally published as "Traveller: 2300"... under the "Traveller" rules... DAMMIT, THIS ONE SHOULD BE CALLED "TRAVELLER: 2300"!!!eleventy1one! |
some hints ?
2300AD like the game started (cheering) 2320 update (hmmm can we edit out the Kafer war solution ?) or 2300 with the Kafer war (well I might still buy it) |
Good show, Colin. This is great news.

It is 2300AD, set in 2300AD, only a few short years after a mysterious alien race attacked the distant colony world of Aurore. Was it all a misunderstanding, or are they a race of genocidal monsters bent on blowing up cities and eating babies? Time will tell.
There will be influences from 2320AD, but most of those will not be felt until later products. There will likely be greater scope for DNA modifications, augmentations, and I'm looking at doing some interesting things for character background. It's not Transhuman Space:2300, though. We're likely going to update the star map with more current data, too. It should be a great deal of fun, both to play and the write. I'm looking forward to actually holding a real book in my hands at the end of the day. |
Fantastic News
Well that's my Birthday present list sorted!

I hope the core book goes over well, because this is my personal wish list, in tentative order: :D 2300 AD Core: Default setting, careers, equipment, star map, starship creation for 2300 AD. World Guide: Details on each of the Arms plus Earth. Vehicles & Equipment: Combine the two old ones. Traveller's vehicle creation system modified for 2300 AD. Starships: Of all Arms, not just the French one. Kafer War Campaign Setting: Think Invasion plus adventures. Original Invasion described the war, but it would be nice to have things the players could actually do without making the adventures up yourself. 2320 AD Campaign Setting: After the Kafer War campaign. Changes that came to the worlds, new equipment, Kafer Space, etc. Quote:
