Official Traveller Core Rulebook Update

[MongooseMatt]

We have updated the Traveller Core Rulebook!

If you re-download the PDF from our site or Drivethru, you will find you now have a new version of the file.

Alternatively, you can download the individual items updated straight from: https://www.mongoosepublishing.com/downloads.htm

Nice! Was about time and also, timely with the pdf release of some new books/campaigns!

 

[Reynard]

Got the message, downloaded and now need to look over the material.

My hardcopy core book is getting well worn. When might new prints of the book be published?

 

[Old School]

Matthew, I've been critical of errata not being corrected, so it's only fair that I acknowledge the update: Thank you! All the changes look good to me.

(now do the same for Highguard)

cheers!

 

[Ursus Maior]

I'm very happy with the errata as well. Well done and thank you, Matthew!

Trying to use the link sent to me through Drivethru gives the following error:

INVALID DISCOUNT MAX USES: THE SPECIAL DISCOUNT YOU ARE TRYING TO USE HAS ALREADY BEEN REDEEMED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TIMES ALLOWED

 

[MongooseMatt]

That is a bit weird - drop Drivethru a line about that and, if you get no joy, give me a shout.

The change log file and the BW files very much appreciated! Thank You.

Apologies - turns out it's my fault - I opened a notification for a Deep Night PDF I got and clicked that a second time, that was the issue. Doh! Now resolved, thanks Matt.

Is there an errata file? I have a hardcopy but didn’t get a PDF at the time.

It's at:

Thanks. I did follow the link the first time but needed to go one level deeper. Got it now

 

[IanBruntlett]

Thanks for the errata - much appreciated

There are at least two versions of the errata.

One from DriveThru RPG with a file size of 517601 bytes.

One from https://www.mongoosepublishing.com/downloads.htm with a file size of 548741 bytes.

Which is the correct one?

 

[MongooseMatt]

The file name should be marked '2020'

 

[AnotherDilbert]

The file name should be marked '2020'

The file included in the DriveThru update is called "travupdate 2020.pdf" (520 kB), version 1.7, timestamp 2020-06-14 14:55.

The file linked on your Downloads page is called "travupdate.pdf" (549 kB), version 1.4, timestamp 2020-06-12 11:20.

 

[MongooseMatt]

I am now wondering whether Drivethru is packaging PDFs a bit differently, because those are both the same file...

 

[Tay]

They Do. They add your name & order number plus some other data to add security to each PDF. The fie size is bound to be slightly different.

 

[AnotherDilbert]

I am now wondering whether Drivethru is packaging PDFs a bit differently, because those are both the same file...

They are repackaging the pdf to watermark it with order number, but that should not change the metadata?

At a glance the files look identical.


You said the file should be named "2020", which the file linked on your download page isn't.

 

[Tay]

If I check my Drivethru both under the Main rule book and Starter Set, the Update is called travupdate.pdf, which matches the name of the file here.

 

[AnotherDilbert]

Agreed, I redownloaded the file from DriveThru and it is downloaded as "travupdate.pdf" timestamped now, so disregard any timestamps I used earlier.


I must have renamed the file to keep track of when the update was released and forgotten about it (it was several days ago...)
