Enthusiastic about boardgames, science, science fiction, ferrets and loads of other things.

I've been into the Traveller role-playing game for many years and always wanted to write stuff for it. Now, at last, I am!

Space Weasel Productions, on DriveThru.
Good to see ‘convention friends’ again, and of course our visiting mates who stayed over. The games we played, at least the science fiction ones, included SETI, Galileo Galilee, and Underwater Cities (which isn’t in space of course, but is definitely SF-based).

Space Weasel came too, of course, and found some space and science-fiction themed games to investigate. He’s calling it ‘research’ on his CV, I believe. And he met a fellow woolly friend there, on the adjoining game table…

Third or fourth time we’ve been, and were joined by a couple of friends with whom we used to regularly game face-to-face before moving into the ruralities.

Will be available on @drivethrurpg.com when it's good to go.

So I definitely need to focus on a couple, and not try to do everything at once...!

Thanks for all the other referees, and players and organisers for making it happen, and making it fun.

Thanks to @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social for the chance to playtest the Pioneer scenario.

Already planning for next year...

More books are underway: a spaceship book (with art by Ian Stead), a second volume of the bestiary, and an adventure. There are ideas for other books too, but this is all on top of holding down a day job!

helmet and vaccsuit, he is now “Space Weasel”.
I’ve got two books on DriveThruRPG already: the first was a ‘d66 list’ of ideas for adventures, as I wanted something relatively simple to learn how to publish on DriveThru. The second one is a mini-bestiary with eight new creatures for Traveller

So, why “Space Weasel”? Weasel is a small knitted ferret which - in a complicated way - represents the four pet ferrets that my partner, Kez, and I used to have. He’s a spirit of optimistic weaselly adventure, and accompanies us on holidays and to other fun places. Donning his goldfish bowl

is to create material for Traveller which respects existing canon and adds to it.
As an author, I’ve had articles published in various gaming and astronomy magazines over the years, as well as having collaborated in minor ways on the writing and publication of a wargame and a roleplaying game.

Here's an extract of some of the pages inside, showing the gribblies!

[cont'd]... in booklet format if desired. Includes 6 pages of double-sided statblocks sized for 3” x 5” record cards.

More Space Weasel books are already underway, including a book of spaceships, a new adventure, and of course, volume 2 with more beasties.
