I usually enter "10" or "20" for this, but it will vary on the pic. THEN, and this is the important part, while the picture you've added is still selected, 4) Click on the "Align Left" button. Hitting it multiple times will vary the effect. It took some playing for me to get this. Let me know how it works for you. ~Adaen The tricks are:

I own much of the Classic Traveller Material (from eBay), but have never played it. I plan to plod through the material at some point (as time allows). There are also a few recent reviews on RPGnet on MegaTraveller. From my understanding, both Classic and Mega suffer from similar issues as Star Frontiers in that they are a bit dated....not that I won't play them anyway. I am curious as to what the appeal for the Traveller games is...why do you like it. I also own several GURPS books (3E mostly) for use as sourcebooks (hard to beat a GURPS book for that). GURPS would definitely work, but how does it stack up to other options? Also, what are the other options? I'm more of a Fantasy guy so I'm sure I may have missed the buzz on some really cool games over the last twenty-odd years. Thanks for stopping by. I'll take a closer look at your blog in a bit. Car Wars is cool. Cheers, ~Adaen Thanks Jeffro. I own much of the Classic Traveller Material (from eBay), but have never played it. I plan to plod through the material at some point (as time allows).
