We have just posted the latest Traveller book on Drivethru, the brand spanking new Special Supplement 4: Rescue Ops;

http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/127286/Special-Supplement-4-Rescue-Ops?affiliate_id=7242

Within the pages of this supplement are resources allowing players to assume the role of those who put their lives on the line every day to keep their community safe. From rugged firefighters, to stoic doctors and daredevil space rescuers, there are options to play several different types of everyday hero.

First, are two new careers, the Healer and Rescuer. Healers tend to be doctors, nurses and medics, while rescuers represent firefighters, guardsmen and disaster relief workers.

Historical and future information is presented to place rescuers of the future in their proper context. Definitions of their duties and responsibilities are laid out, along with details of how hospitals and rescue houses are organised.

The third section introduces several types of disaster and danger from which rescuers can save the populace. Included in this section are disasters on alien worlds.

Finally, the tools of the trade are given. This final section features a selection of new equipment, vehicles and ships for use in rescue-themed adventures. Included here are a new civilian battledress and rescue drones.


Written by Jacob DC Ross, an ex-firefighter himself, Rescue Ops provides everything you need from past rescuer careers to all the tools you need to run a Thunderbirds-style campaign!

That was exactly what we were thinking :)

Rescue Ops has shot straight to the number 2 slot on Drivethru's hot list (in little more than 12 hours!), so congratulations to the writer Jacob, and thank you one and all!
 
Ok Matt. You have been mentioning Thunderbird so often that for days I cannot get the theme song of related show Fireball XL-5 out of my head. There is only one thing left to do: I must infect the rest of you!

I wish I were a space man, the fastest guy alive,
I'd 5 are you 'round the universe 8 Fireball XL-5
Oh Fireball, oh Fireball, my heart belongs to you!

Number 2?! Fantastic news. Thanks, Matt, for the opportunity, and for the best rejection letter that I've ever received. :D
 
There are possibly some hidden references to medical tv shows in the Healer Career Events and Mishaps. See if you can spot them!
 
I really really, liked this one :) Picked it up and already got a couple of guys that want to play ex-surgeons.

The only problem when someone mentions the Thunderbirds, I think of Team America, World Police.

But this is one heck of a good supplement. I'm really enjoying it.
