Editing The Spinward Blues (section)

== The Basics ==

This is the revamped wiki page for ''The Spinward Blues'', a PbP Traveller game run here on the RPGnet forums since, believe it or not, February 2007. I'm Shadowjack, our humble Travel Director, maker of behind-the-scenes die rolls and dispenser of plot cookies. 

System-wise, I have accepted characters from all versions of Traveller, but I have transitioned to using mostly Mongoose's Traveller as the behind-the-curtain ruleset. Combat I handle as a series of interrelated skill contests, rather than round-by-round, as I find it works better that way in this format. 

I enjoy the Imperium canon, but I'm not a real grognard, so when there's a difference between the books and the game, go with what happens in game. I accept and encourage player inventions, and we've thrown in lots of little references and nods to other science fiction (or just plain fiction). Our travellers use their pocket comms for everything, but we still have the shotguns and sabers.
