The programs are dull and they're the only thing that makes such an item useful in the first place. If there's more to them than meets the eye, I feel like Mongoose did a poor job of that, even in the 2nd edition.HeadHunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341026876138311676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-76534393016051962992022-05-24T21:51:55.723-05:002022-05-24T21:51:55.723-05:00I do rather like this one to be honest.

The character creation engine is a fun and engaging mini game as it should be in Traveller and the task resolution system is simple and intuitive and rewards player creativity. I really enjoyed it.ligehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866236293322652977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-49538257801254744732022-05-23T13:31:15.463-05:002022-05-23T13:31:15.463-05:00If I didn't have my original LBBs this one mig...If I didn't have my original LBBs this one might have gotten me to buy, but I do so it didn't.
