WOOT!
I haven't forgotten about the changes I need to make to the document, but work has been an absolute beast lately and I'm totally wiped by the end of the day.
I will get to them shortly.

Re: Barbarians of the Void
It would seem your SearchFu failed you Grasshopper...In General Discussions of this forum there is a new thread called "Barbarians of Lemuria New Website".
The new website has a tab listing "BoL in Other Genres" at and BoV is listed. It would be good if nerosfiddle can provide a permanet download link to Simon because then people will be able to download the game from the link at the BoL site.

Wealth can be wonderful, but you know, success can test one's mettle as surely as the strongest adversary.

Re: Barbarians of the Void
On page 39 resistance checks are mentioned. What did you have in mind for those?

Re: Barbarians of the Void
When I was writing out some NPCs for an adventure I started using a shorthand. It works perfect with a monspaced font. Thought I'd share in case anyone finds it useful.
Name Chance Bolo - main recuring NPC
HP 5 LB 10
SAMA IMRD
0121 1111
Careers: Smuggler 2, Pilot 2
Boons:Friends in Low Places, Kissed by the Void
Flaws:Wanted
Gear:Blaster (d6-1), Small Starship
Trooper (rabble)
LB 3
SAMA IM RD
0000 10-10
Gear: Blaster Carbine (d6), Glossy white battle armor (no actual amor value)

Re: Barbarians of the Void
I love the shorthand layout for NPCs - the stats have a real Traveller feel to them the way you've written the stat block. I actually prefer the first example which doesn't have a hyphen separating IMRD.
With regards to the colour range chart - very nice but I also prefer the B&W. That said, I was wondering if it might be possible to create a "negative" version of the B&W which might allow a starfield to be in the background and the writing to be in red? That would really give it a Traveller feel as well.

Re: Barbarians of the Void
The last one is more what I was thinking, although you might want to tone down the stars a bit and make the lines and title in red as well. I'm no expert on this and you are obviously much better at doing graphics than me but I just feel that a starfield is great to have as a background, but you don't want it to overpower the chart either.
