Robots and Other Alien types as PCs.

[TrippyHippy]

Could it be confirmed that alternative player character types, such as Robots, Droyne and Hivers, will be available in the Traveller Companion as options?

 

[ShawnDriscoll]

And Vilani, and Zhodani, and the like? Not full blown histories and sector maps. Just the chargen stuff for them.

 

[MongooseMatt]

Hmm, maybe not the Companion. We'll see, no firm decision made there yet.

I would suggest that at least the core alien races and human variants should get some treatment and sense they were left out of the core, they should make a showing very soon after. Not full books, I mean simple entries in the rules books.

I'm even more curious now what will be in the Companion book, if not alien race stuff and not alternate spaceship drives. I feel that it may be a long time before we see Zhodani and other humaniti races in the 2.0 Verse. The Imperium book is another one I'm very much interested in, if that one is still a go?

Just got the first chapter of the Imperium book this evening

As for the Companion, it is currently a _massive_ wish list document, of varying levels of detail, from rules as they may appear in the final draft to one line ideas.

Needs a fair bit of work, but will be looking at the Vehicle Handbook first (after I go through these playtest updates, then the next High Guard revision, etc...).

A good man's work is never done. :mrgreen:

I look forward to seeing what you do next. 8)
