    Mercenary Field Catalogue

    We have looked at it. The trouble is, the CRB has a reputation for being one of the most complete rulebooks on the market - if we take stuff out of it, that will no longer be the case...

    Mercenary Field Catalogue

    Nail on the head. If you glance at the catalogues of other publishers, you will spot the ones that have measured sales and determined that adventures sell less... so they stop doing adventures. However, we figured out long ago that while adventures do sell less (Pirates of Drinax aside!), they...

    Fifth Frontier War: How's your war going?

    It absolutely could. And it would be awesome. And it could even be integrated, to a degree, into an RPG. You could have the overall arching strategy, and then run the adventures we are releasing with separate Traveller bands, each having some effect (large or small) in the strategic positions...

    Fifth Frontier War: How's your war going?

    But that is... not what we are doing. There is no set ending that we are headed towards. At all. What happens in the adventures released will have an effect. We have never deviated from this. In general, in the early part of the war, Travellers are placed in more minor areas and their actions...

    Fifth Frontier War: How's your war going?

    That is the one thing we are not doing. Seriously, that way lies madness...

    Show Us Your (Vehicle Handbook Update 2026) Vehicles!

    No - because here we are talking about three different things... 1. You absolutely can build a container using the starship rules... but you are building it in the same way as a starship, something with thick skin, void-hardend, with all the connections needed for life support, power, a ship's...

    World Builders Handbook - is there anything actually useful in it?

    Worth pointing out that £5 then is a little more than £20 now - and that was for an A5 b/w softback. Our books are a little bigger :) Also... Our new CT book (Pirates) is just £10 :)

    World Builders Handbook - is there anything actually useful in it?

    This is by necessity - Traveller fans are a very, very broad church. In short, we do not expect anyone to buy every Traveller book. That is not the point. You really just need the Core Rulebook. Add High Guard if there is going to be a lot of ships in your game, pick up CSC if your players are...
