Anyone who's read this blog for any length of time knows that I'm a Traveller man. I first encountered GDW's game of science fiction adventure in the far future, sometimes in late 1981 or early '82 – my memories are hazy – and it very quickly became my go-to SF RPG. Heck, it still is today and this ... read more.

Browsing at the time I began this article, I found a great post from Gnomestew on starting your next campaign with a wedding.

Gollaon and Voddick watched the people mingle at the dance. Voddick leaned in and whispered, “The lack of obvious danger makes me nervous.
