I will be at Furnace in Sheffield this weekend, running a Traveller game on Sunday afternoon. This will be a playtest of a scenario I've been working on called 'This Fear of Gods'.

If you're in the USA, Mystic Station are running a Power Projection demo at Game Parlor Woodbridge, Virginia. Details can be found in the blog entry on 7th October 2006.

Marc Miller has announced by email that he is now accepting pre-orders for the Classic Traveller CD ROM collection, due to ship 1st November 2006. He also has some special offers, including a free copy of Fifth Frontier War's PDF if you just email him back at farfuture at gmail.com (replace the spaces and at with @ when sending). I've received this file, and from it you could easily set up your own FFW game.

The CD ROM retails at $35 plus $5.50 shipping to anywhere in the world. One of the big benefits is that the files are searchable either in Acrobat, or with a system wide search tool such as Spotlight in Mac OS X Tiger, which means you can find obscure references quickly.
