Cthonian Stars news - Traveller book still coming out
- Thread starter SJE
- Start date
While I think claiming it was originally intended for an April 2011 release (as opposed to Oct 2010 as reported many times in S&P) is a fairly egregious example of marketing pushing a revision of the historical record, I'm glad that I'll be able to buy a hardcopy (and PDF) version of the Cthonian Stars Traveller setting book in the near future.

I just finished reading this and I am very excited about it! One of my players had been wanting to play Traveller but not in the 3I but something more akin to this setting.
I thought that it was well written, especially the story portions before each chapter...or break point. g
IS this going to be the only product that will be geared towards Traveller? In the game they advertise other titles but I wasn't sure if that was going to be using a different system.

Anyone else got this yet? Whats your opinion and what are the colonies and new ships like?
Also yes, Wildfire have since gone and changed this game to "The Void" and will be rereleasing it in print with a new rulesystem and the following supplement books will be geared toward the new system (though you could still use the fluff)

Wildfire is going to publish the core book and Horrors of the Void using Traveller rules.
Then they are going to re-start the line using their own system called The Void. The Void will republish the material in Cthonian Stars and Horrors of the Void and continue with more books - those additional books will not be offered using the Traveller system - Traveller just gets the first two books.

Just got it.
It has those Fun Guys from Pluto and Bholes/Dholes and our bad neighbors from off the Eastern US Seaboard (as opposed to our good friends on the other side of the pond :wink: )
It has new reules for character advantages/disadvantages which can be purchased during character creation, half-terms for character creation and other goodies.

zero said:^ Sorry, I just didnt get the Eastern baddie reference, I got the Fun Guy one though, nice :wink:
I cant wait to get this when I get the money, I already have a Pbp with a full story planned
You may find the Seethari an interesting read; it appears to be the Cthonian Stars' spin on Aliens.
I like the Cthonian Stars book too. But, I'm not thrilled with the "solar system only" aspect. I wish they would have kicked it out to at least a limited interstellar game like Cthulhu Rising or Traveller 2300.
The upside for me money wise is that I may pass on the Void books and just get the two Traveller books and then mash them with Cthulhu Rising and/or Traveller 2300 (I'm also considering a Mass Effect crossover, but now I'm rambling…)
