Just a quick reminder that if you are in or within driving distance of Dalton, GA, I will be at Hallowcon next weekend (Oct 30-Nov 1) running games and enjoying the convention.

And on Halloween, we'll be running Hell's Paradise. If you're not familiar with Hell's Paradise and you need a spooky Traveller adventure for next weekend, you can check it out here: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/117397/Dawn-Adventures-2-Hells-Paradise

First, let me extend a thanks to Daniel C. for the five star review he left for our Clement Sector Player's Guide! Thanks!

Second, I just wanted to give everyone a look at the cover for our upcoming Ships of Clement Sector 10: Lee-class Merchant Vessel. The art is from Ian Stead and the cover design was performed by Stephanie McAlea.

And here we have the MV Rebecca Bryan, a Lee-class merchant vessel, moving past the gas giant Cumberland in the Boone system (Sequoyah 0305).

In 2336, the small Boone based company Boone Starship Industries embarked on a program to modify the Rucker-class merchant vessel in order to improve cargo handling capability and to bring down monthly costs for operators. After a year of successive failures to bring this vision to reality, the design director took a proposal to the company board that a new design was what was needed instead of attempting to modify an already successful existing design. The Lee-class is that design.

Gypsy Knights Games' Ships of Clement Sector 10: Lee-class Merchant Vessel will be available in PDF on November 6.

Looking good! 400 dtons? Passengers as well as cargo, or specialized cargo carrier? Since it's gonna get released now, I assume it has rules for 1st edition?

400dt. Passengers and cargo.

Since it's gonna get released now, I assume it has rules for 1st edition?

We're not allowed to do any 2e stuff until the 2e SRD is out there.

And here we have a side view of the MV Anna Curtis, a Lee-class merchant vessel. The ship is owned and operated by Captain Royden Briggs. It is most often seen making the run from Cascadia (Cascadia 0705) to Hendershot (Cascadia 0208). Briggs has been captain of the vessel since 2339.

Here we have a picture of MV Alfred Godwin under way in the Galawdewos system (Sequoyah 0603). The Alfred Godwin is a Lee-class merchant vessel which was purchased by Morales Freight Lines to carry cargo from Boone (Sequoyah 0305) to Penn (Sequoyah 0801).

The Lee-class is the subject of our tenth entry in the Ships of Clement Sector series. Written by Michael Johnson and illustrated by Ian Stead and Bradley Warnes, the Lee-class will make for an excellent ship for your adventurers.

The Anderson and Felix Guide to Naval Architecture has been updated. Several typos and minor errors have been repaired as well as the addition of two new drive systems.

These drive systems have been added to aide those who either use the A&F Guide for other settings or would like to have a drive outside the usual Clement Sector "canon".

If you've already purchased an Anderson and Felix PDF, this update is free. If you haven't gotten yours yet, now is a great time to do so.

Morning John,

Just received a notification of an update to the Anderson and Felix GTNA, thanks.

Am I right in saying it's simply jump drives called star drives (and slip drives are jump drives on steroids)?

And here we have the Fedpost Mail Courier.

In 2334, Anderson and Felix were contracted by the newly formed Hub Federation Postal Service (Fedpost) to design and construct a fast mail courier with extended fuel capacity and as small a crew requirement as possible in order to deliver both electronic and physical mail.

Several design options were presented for consideration over the following twelve months until the managing board of Fedpost approved a small one hundred displacement tonne courier with enough internal fuel for two Zimm transits of two parsecs and multiple in-system skip-transits. The mail courier design included a maneuver drive capable of a thrust of two gravities.

The ship is the focus of Gypsy Knights Games' upcoming Ships of Clement Sector 11: Fedpost Mail Courier which will be available as a PDF on December 4.
