Book 6: Scoundrel - I got my Pre-Ordered copy in hands now!!

[Bygoneyrs]

Hello everyone,

Well I got in the mail this saturday morning my pre-ordered copy of Book 6: Scoundrel and I must say from my fast once over it is a pretty darn good book. I am so happy with what and how Mongoose is doing things and think that they have the correct method and style down correctly. I have not yet been disapointed with anything that they have done with either Traveller or Conan books, and know that they will continue on with making excelent products. I only wish they would do a printed monthly magazine, I do miss the Traveller ones.

Thanks!! This has now been officially added to my list of books to get.
The ships section alone sounds like just what I need.

I need this book.

My Players are planning to go privateering against the evil Federation of Earth! This book certainly has what I need!

Sounds good to me. I'll give Fan Boy 3 a ring, and see what they'll have in store for Wednesday. Either I spend the £15 on this or on Tripwire, if either are in. If they're both in, well ...

(I would love the Aslan book, but TBH my preferences are, in order, Droyne, Zhodani, Darrians, Vargr and Sword Worlders. So the Aslan book might have to wait a bit.

But if one or both of the other books is in Fan Boy 3, likely you'll see me there just after the shop's opening at noon on Wednesday. I'll let you know.

I must say having had more time to reread this book, overall it is pretty good. Oh there are a few typo's or errors in tense but that aside no big deal that I see so far. I feel it was well worth the cost to Pre-Order it and am happy that I had done it too.
