For Use With Mongoose Traveller: Has Mongoose thought about...?

[Drew]

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

Would love to see a chapter on Geneering and Uplifts in that!

Is that like the body modifications in Shadowrun?

No, Geneering is like modifying creatures for new environments.

Like adding extra fluffy hair to a Chihuahua for arctic conditions.

Uplifting is adding intelligence/sentience to a life form.

I saw this and the ideas just started bubbling as to what you could use this little guy for.

I'm not good with coming up with names for aliens or alien lifeforms, which can be frustrating sometimes. On the other hand, there are those who ARE good at coming up with names for aliens & alien lifeforms, which makes me both amazed and jealous, and maybe a little awed.

I have a couple tricks for this if you want (this is how I come up with names like the ynchaeir)

Option 1:
1. Spam the keyboard: ifeshsfihi
2. Remove some letters to make it more pronounceable: Ifeshfihi
3. Profit

Option 2:
1. Take a normal human name: Margaret
2. Switch some things: ramgaret
3. (optional) Add/Remove letters: Iramgarrt
4. Profit

This might help

Note: This does also work for human/alien names you just have to pay a bit more attention to their language conventions e.g. Aslan like rrr and gdz, throw them in where you can etc
