Do these fiction books include game stats for the characters and vehicles mentioned within the story?

While set in a different era, Steve Jackson Games’s “GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars” has a lot of information about the Vilani. I believe it’s still available at their website despite them no longer having the license to produce new Traveller products.

I have to agree here. Being a long time player of 2300, I didn’t notice it at first, but yes, the Core box really should have a lot more setting material. The original box sets weren’t wall-to-wall setting fluff, but they had a decent overview of the history and short descriptions of nearly...

When I was in college(s) I played a lot of RPGs. Despite some Shadowrun, Cyberpunk and Albedo, I always came back to my three favorites; Twilight: 2000, 2300AD and Space 1889. (I like RPGs with years in their titles, obviously.). Notice: all of these were originally by Games Designers Workshop...

Excellent descriptions and rationalization of a goofy system. The UWP and random world creation was, and still is, my least favorite aspect of Traveller. It's one of several reasons why I play 2300AD instead. Being a small in game setting, comparatively, means these wonky unrealistic worlds...

I had my wife, an electrical engineer, look at the picture and asked if she had any problems with it. Of course she commented that the lady's breasts stood out a bit but it didn't bother her, especially once she knew the suit was supposed to be skin tight. She DID have a concern that her...

I highly recommend GURPS Traveller: Nobles, done by Traveller guru Loren Wiseman, and GURPS Traveller: First In by John Zeigler. Both are excellent and two of the best Traveller books I have ever seen. Ben Lecrone

I have that book and the ship books. I was interested in more information for the United States Space Navy. Thanks Ben Lecrone

Thanks for the answers John. I was wondering if there was any way to get a little preview as to the stats for the Lexington-class cruisers. As the Moltke at 2500dTons is said to be the toughest ships in the Clement Sector I would guess the Lexingtons would be around 2000-2200 dTons. This...

I like this preview a lot. One question though, what is the range of the Zimm? Some sources seem to say a straight 2 parsec range while others 2.4 parsecs, which is very close to the 7.7 LY range of the 2300 AD stutter warp. Also when does one check for Zimm bubble collapse with regards to...

Been thinking how to mix the Clement Sector with 2300AD. First I need to work out the quickest way to convert the starships from J Drives to stutter warps. I'm going to leave them without spin habitats and incorporate the magnetic clothing from Cthulhu Stars.

I like the idea of expanded and proofread second editions…BUT. I only play in the 2300AD and Orbital settings (I'm interested in the Prime Directive setting as well as the briefly mentioned Aliens/Predator setting). So any 2nd Edition has to be helpful in those settings as well. That's why...

Not to speak for Colin, but it may be a while. French Arm Adventures consisted of re-worked adventures that had been previously published. Chinese Arm Adventures will have portions taken from the old supplement, Ranger, as well as some information regarding the Sung I would imagine. But it...

I only play 2300AD and Orbital so I want ships with spin habitats, no anti-grav, and hard sci-fi weaponry. Benjamin

Paris is wracked by a nasty secret war as Tri-Color, backed by ultra-nationalists in the military, works to eliminate liberals, anti-imperialist and internationalists within the French and colonial governments. It gets rather ugly as even some Deputies disappear. It might even be possible to...
