Since I've recently moved to a new city, on a new coast of the US, and The 50th Anniversarry of Traveller is right-around-the corner. I'm starting a new campaign. With Battletech enjoying a renaissance, I've been throwing a healthy amount of Big Stompy Robots in my Science Fiction Adventure in the Far Future.

I'm really depressed. Every time the dictatorship says something just... false and it's proven false by direct evidence, they continue to lie bald-faced. Every time it is clear that they're lying, it doesn't matter. The population just doesn't care. It's just a collective shrug and a bored "sure"
