A MegaTraveller Starship Design Example Revisited!V2.02, Updated 03/05/2008
This article by Joe Fugate originally appeared in Traveller's Digest #13, and is the best written example of designing a Starship using the MegaTraveller vehicle rules -- except that the numbers are wrong (in several places). This is my attempt to fix that great article.

HD-100.01: MegaTraveller Point-based Character Generation
My first HIWG document, which can be used for character generation and experience building for characters. I used to get calls on this even after I resigned from HIWG.
The Iridium Throne
Also known as "the one that got away"... My proposal for a epic campaign book for the Milleu Zero setting released for T4 - the last "unique mechanic" edition of Traveller published.
The Iridium Throne With bonus RANT!
Future Works
I'm working on three NEW proposals to present to Traveller publishers:
- Imperial Aspirations The story of the 75 kton Imperial battlecruiser Bonadventure, from 600 to 630; part of Grand Admiral hault-Plankwell's victorious fleet in the First Frontier War, escaping the disaster at the Battle of Tricanus 5, to aiding Grand Admiral Alkhalikoi in defeating Emperor Gustus at the Second Battle of Zhimaway.
- Keepers of the Flame The REAL story behind what interests dominate the Alkhalikoi Dynasty, from the opposition to the Solomani Movement, including a look at who gained from the untimely death of Empress Margaret I, who tried to keep the peace, to Tomutov's abdication and his subsequent death during the Psionic Suppressions, to the palace coup of 989.
- Adventuring in the Spinward Pocket Detailing the Zhodani-Imperial intrigue in Foreven, Beyond, and Trojan Reach sectors leading up to the Fifth Frontier War. Yes, I know Foreven Sector is a GM's reserve. Not that anyone ever published any material to HELP a GM properly use that sector...
Traveller Biography
It's been almost five years since I last posted an update and for that I'm very sorry. The best of intentions, you know. I'll try to do better...
I first played Traveller in 1979; I'm proud of owning several copies of the old "Classic Traveller" sets. Unfortunately, I'm not so proud of the fact that finding Traveller players is hard.
In 1988, I finally got on-line (Delphi/Genie). I ran into Ed Edwards at GenCon, and became a Quadrant Editor (QE3) for HIWG, from December 1989 through December of 1990. Unfortunately, it was obvious that the way GDW wanted Traveller to go was not the way I wanted to game, and after certain GDW employees insulted their on-line and HIWG fans, I resigned from HIWG in disgust. I miss those times... HIWG is still around, but it doesn't look like the HIWG I joined in 1989...
Someone recently asked me why I left the game at the time it needed me most... I've kept this e-mail from Mike Metlay that answers that question a lot better than I could have.
