Vehicle Handbook - Now Shipping!

[MongooseMatt]

The long-awaited Supplement 5-6: Vehicle Handbook is now shipping - and this is a big one for Traveller players! Penned by Colin Dunn (2300AD), the Vehicle Handbook has an all new construction system designed to be quick, easy and extremely flexible, with referees being able to design anything from a rickshaw to super heavy grav battle tanks in just a few minutes, while players will drool over all the customisation options. All future Traveller books will use this system and, to help you along, the book contains every vehicle that has appeared in the current edition of Traveller (including those from Judge Dredd, Hammers Slammers and other settings), updated to the new system - along with lots of brand new designs!

If you have the PDF version you are out of luck?

Bummer. This sort of book is precisely kind of book I don't need as physical product. After all this is less likely to come during game(are you going to need to do lots of vechile building mid-session?-). Ergo PDF version is great as it doesn't take space.

Ah well. I'll see how expensive the pdf version is when it comes available before deciding whether to upgrade. Old one works fairly enough for me.

[MongooseMatt]

That is a good point.

You know, I think we can do a deal for PDF buyers via Drivethru. I'll set something up!

I'll just wait for my complimentary playtester/proofreader copy to show up I think

Yay! I'm really looking forward to seeing this. I've only seen the design system so far...

[Sturn]

Congrats Colin!

Heh - given the past history of proofreading these documents, that might be a dangerous thing to say! Before anybody lights any torches or grabs the pitchforks, are there any others you wish to admit to?

There have been a few...

That said, playtesting isn't really about proofreading though if I find something (which even happened on the one thing I got that had the proofreader's comments inbeded) I will make mention it.

Should be with you today

[Scott Kalkwarf]

Well looks like it will be a while before I can have it. The billing system and my credit card protection do not like each other, and I will not use paypal as I have had issues on the security side and principle with them.

This is a major bummer as I order regularly from other sites with little or no problem.

Will have to wait till I can get to another city that has a brick and mortar shop, or wait till it gets on pdf and get it from drive thru rpg and print it out.

Well time to get to work, laters.

[MongooseMatt]

You can always give us a ring - Kelly is very friendly

[dmccoy1693]

Did this go out already? I just changed my contact options to allow emails from Mongoose through.

Hmmm well the only Phone I have is a company cell phone, and trying to explain an international call might be a little awkward.

[Scott Kalkwarf]

well the campaign guide is on drive thru rpg, ill have to wait for the new vehicle book to be on there before I can get it.
