Hello RPGsuite users

We know it’s been a while since you heard from us. We’ve been very busy putting out the latest update: RPGsuite 2.63! We’re so pleased to be sharing this update with you. It’s been a long time coming, and we can’t wait to get your feedback. Remember, you can always reach us at [email protected].

Why should I get 2.63?

Glad you asked! RPGsuite 2.63 has some major changes (scroll down for details). Highlights include much shorter download times, fixes to the interface that will make everything more usable, and automatic updating. Yes! The new RPGsuite Launcher will automatically update the TCG and DCS. You won’t have to trawl through your downloads page trying to figure out if you have the latest edition! And don’t worry, everything will still work offline after the first time you download and run the software.

The Launcher also means that when you first download RPGsuite from our site you only need to download one file. It doesn’t matter what bundles or pieces of software you’ve purchased. One file.

Okay, but how do I get 2.63?

It’s very simple! First, uninstall the previous version of the software. This is the last time you’ll ever have to do this: the automatic updater will take care of it from now on. Then, go to our new downloads page and grab the version for your operating system. When it’s finished downloading, run the file.

That’s it!

If you want to continue to use RPGsuite it’s best to do this sooner rather than later. Once we push 2.63 to our production servers we can’t guarantee that older versions will work properly.

How does this work if I don’t have the DCS?

The short answer: if you haven’t purchased the DCS, you still can’t use the DCS. You could download the DCS, but since you wouldn’t be able to get past logging in there’s really no reason to do so.

So what did you change?

Hoo boy. It’s a long list!

A quick thank-you

The feedback we’ve received from all of you so far has been so heartwarming, helpful, and encouraging. We read every piece of email we get, and it means a lot to us that you take the time to write in. So to everyone who has written in so far, thank you. To anyone who hasn’t: whatever you have to say, we’re listening.

Happy gaming,

Zoë and the RPGsuite team.

We’re happy you’re here!

What Is RPGsuite?

This is the home for our tabletop software offerings and a site for Traveller fans new and old. We spent the past year developing software especially for playing Traveller, a game we well love. Our flagship offering is the Traveller Character Generator. It’s an easy way to enjoy the full richness of the character generation mini-game. Our second offering is the Digital Character Sheet. Here we provide a wealth of support to play your character during your table top game. Finally, since we never wanted to hear “I lost my character!” or “Oops, I forgot to bring my character sheet!” ever again, we’ve created the Iridium Cloud Membership. It makes sure that all your RPGsuite stuff goes with you wherever you go, regardless of the device that you use. Your characters and any assets you’ve bought are all waiting for you when you sit down. The best part is, we’re giving it away for free! For the next 3 months, RPGsuite members who purchase our products will get this membership without paying a penny.

What kind of stuff is on RPGsuite?

On this site you’ll find our software, and all the things you can trick it out with (of course). This includes downloadable programs, and a rich array of stuff you can load into that software, like modules for all the core careers, races, equipment, skills, vehicles, ships, and talents from the latest Mongoose Core Book. We will also be offering new Races and Careers from 3rd party publishes, starting with the careers in the Gypsy Knights Games core setting book The Clement Sector.

We offer high quality Traveller electronic books from 3rd party publishers like the good folks at Gypsy Knight Games and SPICA. These are books that we personally own and have enjoyed. Just to push that bit of geekdom a little further, we’ve even stocked the site full of RPGsuite merch! You’ll find your favorite aliens on buttons, T-shirts, mugs and the like. Honestly, I’ve been wearing an RPGsuite alien T-shirt of some kind for the last six months.

Finally we’ve got a few interesting blog posts, both about our stuff and the game itself. This is where we’ll publish feedback, and news about upcoming releases and events.

What’s Next?

Lots of stuff! We’re talking with a number of folks who would like to make their content available through RPGsuite software. We’ll be reaching out to you, the community, to find out what your priorities are. Finally, we promise that if you guys buy, we’ll build! Here’s a glimpse of what’s currently on the drawing board or under development:

Interactive Imperial Library
GM tool set
- Generation of NPCs
- Creation of worlds and sectors
- Remote interaction with character Sheets
- Combat tools
Starship Architect
- Ready made starships
- Make your own starships
More 3rd party software content
Group and remote character generation
Easy 3D miniatures and battle board
More equipment, races, and careers
More character avatar equipment and feature support
And much more!

Thanks you for taking the time to visit us! Please enjoy our offerings.
