Referee's Aid 2: The Type-S Scout/Courier
Penned by M J Dougherty, the latest Referee's Aid, The Type-S Scout/Courier, has just been posted on Drivethru;
http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/1 ... te_id=7242
The Type-S Scout/Courier fulfills one of the most basic requirements of any interstellar organisation – be it a government, commercial entity or military force. It is first and foremost a low-cost messenger ship, and although it does have some additional features its overall capabilities are limited by the need to provide an interstellar communications capability at as low a price as possible.
Referee's Aid 2: The Type-S Scout/Courier provides an in-depth look at one of the most common ships in Known Space, along with its variants. It walks you through every aspect of the Scout, with all new 3D deck plans, and provides specific vessels to be used in encounters.
If you are looking to flesh out the ship many players start with, look no further.

Did anyone else get the full-size preview working? I couldn't.
But, at $2,99 it was cheap enough to buy on a whim. It's okay for it's price point, but I think it would need more cowbell to meet the full $4.99.

I should point out that the $4.99 price is what it would cost if it were printed - $2.99 is the actual cost, and is not a sale price!
Re: Referee's Aid 2: The Type-S Scout/Courier
I liked this book. Only a few pages long, but enough to have fun with a S-Class Scout.

According to the website the $2.99 price is a sale price. The regular listed price is $4.99.msprange wrote:I should point out that the $4.99 price is what it would cost if it were printed - $2.99 is the actual cost, and is not a sale price!
It's really too small of a supplement to be printed and sold, in my opinion.

I like the new "3D" deckplan that supplements the more traditional top view deck plans.
I would have liked to see some of the alternate Scout deck plans too though.
Very nice book for $3.

I saw a link for that on the main page, but the link didn't go anywhere. Might want to take a look at it.

Got it and likes it. Makes a good mini-reference for an icon adventure ship. Like to see more of the core ships get the expanded treatment.

My MJD account is inaccessible to me because, basically, I suck at Internetz. But yes, it's me.
