Is there a schedule to see when any of the other Alien Modules moght be coming out? I know that the schedule would be, at best, a rough guesstimate of when we might see the books but hey. I am looking forward to picking up Alien Module 1: Aslan once my local store has it. I know the owner of my local store is very happy to have the new Traveller putting out so many books, so far I have bought at least one of everything lol.
more Alien Modules
- Thread starter Duroon
- Start date
I am looking forward to the Zhodani and Vargr books more myself. My players are adventuring in the Spinward Marches at this time and have three Vargr NPC's acting as bodyguards to the player who got himself named ambassador for the planet Walston. Currently they are headed to Regina in order to try to convince Arch-Duke Norris to send the planet aid as it has been being raided by pirates recently.

Classic Traveller never did a Vilani Sourcebook. Yes, MegaTraveller did one, but I personally would like to see a Vilani Module for MGT.
For being such a large part of the history of the Imperiums, they got the short shift when it came to SOCIAL explanations within the CT timeframe.

I'm really looking forward to the Vargr book. They have always been one of my favorite Traveller alien races. After that I'd like to see a Zhodani book.

How about a good Humaniti book? For me Traveller has never been about the 4 arms humans (T20); Hunchback aliens (T4) and some of the weird humans from GT (although, some races in there actually make sense like the Yilians).
Failing that I would want a Droyne book that brings back some of the mystery for this most mysterious races. However, I, equally see the need for the Zhodani to be covered. However, the potential to get the Zhodani wrong is huge. The same applies to the Solomani. So, I would be very, very cautious about committing my money.
T4 with its Alien Archive and those above mentioned T20/GT races really rubbed people the wrong way. We want interesting but ultimately realistic aliens not rubber suit aliens or rubber nob aliens. We want something Ian Banks would find great as a sourcebook.
I trust you will not disappoint me with Aslan & later...Vargr.

I do agree the Vilani should get much more coverage
. Even GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars would benefit from that.OTOH I would very much like a K'kree sourcebook covering all of the Bad Guys par excellence's history :twisted: - from pre-Classic Traveller well into The New Era (1202 and 1248 Millieux). :shock:

I'd love to see that also! A book of "minor" races would be really cool. While I've always liked the official aliens of Traveller (especially Aslan, Zhodani and Vargr), I'd like to have some additional new ones available.
Guess I've got a bit of Star Wars Cantian in me. : )

I agree this would be nice.
Possibly be arranged as Minor races in the
Imperium
Zhodani
Aslan
Hiver
Red/Amber Zoned races
And even the Unknown races. The Unknown Races would be ones that have been heard about or seen but no one really knows where they are from or much about their culture.
Dave Chase
Yes exactly what I would love to see would be Unknown races, that have a single home world and have started to spread out in space to other systems. Maybe design it as Minor races of the Spinward Marshes. Choose specific worlds and design out this new minor race. I would believe that Mongoose could design out a couple of races to be included in the book.
