    SAFCOcast 43: Marc Miller and Dominick Santa Cattarina Talk Science Fiction and Dumarest

    We are happy to welcome Traveller creator, author of Agent of the Imperium,  and science fiction reader Marc Miller and Dominick Santa Catterina, of the upcoming Dumarest: the RPG, to the show. In this episode we talk with Marc about his deep history as an SF reader, favorite books, and of course their influence on Traveller. This of course involved the Dumarest of Terra Saga, for which Dominick and associates at Burnt City Games are working on an RPG inspired by Classic Traveller.  You can purchase many great Traveller-related products on Marc's website, Far Future Enterprises.  Our theme music, as always, is from the Speculative Machines Podcast, and is called Cadmium Red.

    SAFCOcast41: Classic Traveller Deep Dive - the Beginning

    This is the first of our new "format", which you will hear about in the show. Essentially we are going to take about just 1-3 things in the Traveller/2d6 SF world, and our main topic for the foreseeable future will be a page by page Deep Dive into Classic Traveller, as put forth in the Traveller Facsimile Edition. In this show, we discuss: Dungeon Plunger with Matthew from Mongoose GURPS Talk podcast Signals from the Core podcast Tales from the Morrigan To Honor Grandfather Quick and Dirty Vehicle Combat for Classic Traveller Then we into the first our our Deep Dives into the Traveller Facsimile Edition. Our goal is to go through this entire compilation of the 1981 Classic Traveller books, page by page, and really dig into it, analyze it, talk about it, find rules we've never noticed before, and even compare it to more recent versions.

    Announcement: Submit Your Alien Beast

    We want to see your alien lifeforms! Have you created a cool alien creature for your 2s6 SF game? If so, email the details to us at safcomailbag@gmail.com. We will accept entries until July 31, 2025. Please give as much detail as you wish. This can be for any version of Traveller or Cepheus Engine, but please tell us which you designed it for. Entries should be submitted either as an attached plain text or RTF document or simply in the body of the email. Entries should be suitable for all audiences. PG-13 at the most. Please avoid political commentary in your creature descriptions. No sexual stuff. No intended or unintended racist or sexist tropes. Marc designed a game that is "good clean fun" and that is what we shoot for on the podcast. We know most of you will play nice anyway, but feel like we need to say this in case of any random edge-lords out there. We'd love it if you submitted a drawing or your creature. Please - no A.I. art. We'd rather see a hand-drawn picture created with heart.  Once the event is over, we will compile the creatures into SAFCOcast Bestiary Volume 1, which will be available for free download as a PDF on the website. You will get full credit, so give us as much identifying information as you wish.

    SAFCOcast 39: Into Out of the Box

    In this episode, besides reading some X-boat transmissions and talking about some Imperial News, we talk a bit about some articles in the Classic Traveller: Out of the Box series from Chris Kubasik on his Tales to Astound blog. It's no secret (since we talk about is constantly) what we use Classic Traveller in our campaign. Chris's exploration of CT is one of the best on the web, and really got us thinking.
