So I’m thinking about getting mystery of the ancients to run but I’d like some information before I purchase it.
1) my first question is where is it set? I thought it was set in the Spinward marches but there are three Caledonia systems which is it?
2) I got a good solid set of T2 books (CRB, HG, CSC, ROBOTS, WBH, and a bunch of others) other than “Behind the Claw”(if it’s in Spinward), “Mystery of the Ancients” and “Aliens of Charted Space 3”(I’ve got 1&2) are there any other books that would be helpful?
3) if it is set in the Marches would “High and Dry” be a good jump off adventure before jumping in to the core?
4) finally any general advice on running Mysteries?
I little background I’ve been running RPGs for decades but it’s been over two decades since I last ran Traveller. I’ve been gearing up to run Pirates of Drinax but decided that I wanted something more traditional for my first new Traveller campaign (I’ve done a few one shots lately) instead of a sandbox and looking things over i found mysteries interesting (way back I ran the original secrets of the ancients)
