Some of us live with cellular “broadband” and are thrilled to get 60Mbps. And no, there is no other option available at my location (not counting 12Mbps DSL).

Love Fossil-scm and it is super easy to self host, via numerous methods.

If you are not wed to git, and are willing to try something else, why not give Fossil SCM a try. It’s created and maintained by the creator of SQLite. It’s a single executable that provides everything for modern source code management, including a website, and even has an official docker file that just works.

Issue tracking, forum support, email, it’s all there, in a single executable that can serve as both the front and back end depending on how you launch it. And it’s a smaller install than git by itself.

Yes, the story engine is the core system. It’s primarily what I used for my solo game, as Traveller has enough other systems to fill in the world running. But I think the character engine might be simpler than using something like the Traveller 5 personals system if you truly need some randomness to how NPCs will react.

I’m going to suggest the Motif system, as it has Story, Character, and World emulators that might make it easier to run.

I have used this system for a solo game of Traveller and it worked quite well.

One per universe. Of course I play ttrpgs.

This was available for pre-order through Anderson Entertainment. Those of us who did so already have the full preview PDF and we’ll be getting the book first.

Already own those. They are quite good and if you like random tables of fun stuff with an excellent Traveller theme, I recommend them.

Blue Planet is getting an update - Blue Planet: Recontact

The Kickstarter closed some time ago, and several beta PDFs have been provided.

Followed the link, only to discover that I already purchased that book…

The facsimile edition is a high quality scan of the 1981 LBBs that has been cleaned up and had errata either directly inserted or marked to indicate the page for the updates.
