Opinion on Books

[sd1115]

Hello,

This is my first time on these boards. I have just recently got the 2nd edition rule book for Christmas and switched my players over to Babylon 5. I know what books I am looking at getting next but I can't find any reviews of them. What can everyone tell me about Bounty Hunter and Traders, Merchants, Traders, and Raiders?

I don't have the Merchants etc book, but I can give you my word on the Bounty Hunter book. Short answer: yes, buy it. Long answer: it's a very solid look at bounty hunting, and covers everything I was hoping it would.

It has the obvious things, like prestige classes and new weapons, but it also has everything from flavor text and "interviews" with the various types of bounty hunters to charts to calculate how much any given bounty should be. I was impressed with the content, so I'd highly recommend it. Is there anything in particular that you're wondering about it?

The Drakh and the 2 Ship books are good

M, T and R is one of the best books out there - not least because it makes fans of the Dilgar very happy!


If you want to get into the nitty-gritty of interstellar commerce (and commerce raiding!), it's indispensable.

Having recently picked up Bounty Hunters, I can say that it fits nicely with the rest of the rules, not having "new" classes to play a bounty hunter, but adding to the origional classes by how to play, not another class book.

The MTR book will require a little mod to use, but otherwise it is a great resource
