Contents of the Traveller Companion

[MongooseMatt]

The long, long, long awaited Traveller Companion is imminent! You will be able to pick up the PDF edition and pre-order the printed edition (getting the PDF for free) before we all break for Christmas.

In the meantime, this is how the contents page is shaping up...

Looks lovely!

And it looks like it will save me combing through all my old Traveller stuff (from Classic LBBs to Mongoose 1st ed and T5) for a bunch of details about a travelling in normal space, gas giants, and so on, just before I pick up the GMing reigns for our ongoing Traveller game 8)

Yes, yes, yes.

And when will you start soliciting ideas for the Companion 2?

And when will you start soliciting ideas for the Companion 2?

About 5 minutes after the release of the first

Robots!

Heh! I've just noticed the book has an Index. Is this just for this book, or an Index for the whole corebook line so far?

Hmm... Would that be useful?

 

[EwanS]

I think a index for the whole core book line would be an excellent idea.

 

[middenface]

Yeah, indexes are a good thing.. Trust me on that. (Looks at CE POD..... innocently whistles...)

Oh, yes!

 

[Blue_Jay]

I couldn't tell from just the contents. But, are there rules for more aliens? And are there crafting rules?

 

[AnotherDilbert]

How about some rules for refitting and customising existing ships and vehicles?

 

[doktor57]

Take...my...money...

Really looking forward to seeing their ideas on normal space travel and gas giant operations. We engage in a lot of it in our campaign and any ideas that might enhance it will be welcome.

Freelance Traveller posted a very useful article on gas giants a while back that might be useful as well: https://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/science/gasgiants.html

That would be incredibly useful. it would ideally be a downloadable PDF, updated regularly.

It would also be a good thing to publish through DriveThruRPG, since that site has an update notification mechanism. Their update mechanism would be useful for errata too.

Separate PDF seems to be the way to go... something for us to look at in January, I think...

It would be nice to see this added as part of the bricks and mortar program so that, if the person wants, they can buy the book at their local gaming store and still get the pdf version. I really, really, really like to support my local gaming stores when I can! Everybody wins, though sometimes not my pocketbook, but I can reasonably live with that.

There appears to be no interest on Mongoose's part in correcting Errata in the PDF versions of their products.
