Career Book 2 is here!

Inside the the sequel to Spica Publishing's highly successful Career Book 1 you'll find:

• Two alternative methods for generating Background Skills;
• An alternative Injury Table;
• University and Graduate School pre-career options
• Two new skills: Manipulation and Psychohistory, and an expanded Trade skill
• 14 new careers for use in your Traveller game or campaign:

ATHLETE: Striving for accolades, athletes compete in games spanning subsectors. It's the winning that matters!
CHANCER: Lying, cheating, stealing, and deceit: the tools of the trade of the Chancer, who can only win as long as someone else loses.
COMPANION: Whether you're down-trodden and poor, or high-class and rich, everyone pays a price in the oldest profession.
COSMONAUT: Making a living in space can be hard work, with cargo pods to be moved, repairs to be made and people to be rescued!
ENFORCER: Thug, bully boy, heavy: names mean nothing to you. Getting a result for your boss means everything!
INSURGENT: Working within the government, you work in the background, helping those who seek to overthrow the government.
MEDIA PRACTITIONER: Lights! Camera! Action! Whether it's a soap opera, a documentary or a quiz show, you're the one who makes it shine!
MYSTIC WARRIOR: You're searching for the truth both within and without, and enjoying a fight along the way!
POLITICIAN: Greed, money, power, and votes: when you're a politician, you need plenty of these!
PORT AUTHORITY: You make sure the right cargo gets to the right ship, the ships get off the pad and that the taxes on the cargos have been paid!
PRISONER: Whether you're a common criminal, a political agitator or a prisoner of war: behind bars, everyone has one thought - to get out!
PUPPETEER: These alien experimenters are happy to wait to see the outcome of their experiments on other societies.
SECRET POLICE: The Secret Police know what everyone is doing, what everyone is saying and where everyone is going!
SLAVE: Your life is in the hands of your master or mistress, their every wish a command, and every command an order!

Also included are 57 pre-generated characters! Three are from each of the new careers, plus 14 multi-career characters (generated using both the Traveller Main Book and Career Book 2) - all pre-generated and ready for when you need characters in a hurry!

Requires the use of the Traveller Core Rulebook, available from Mongoose Publishing.

Oooh, tempted by this, especially since I missed out on the preorderof hard copy CB1. Will need to see how much I spend at my mate's wedding this weekend to see if I can afford it or not.

Quick question, in the intro in the CB2 preview it makes mention to possible references to ACER, now AFAIK that hasn't been released yet.

When will it be, and will there be a similar pdf + deadtree offer for it?

Cheers

Soon, young padawan, soon

Difficult to see, the future is, always in motion, it is.

More than likely

Interesting. If not for PCs, but a good careers for important NPCs.

The one question I have is the mystic warrior a real world kung fu fighting type or a "jedi"-like career?

 

[Bygoneyrs]

Ok I just bought book 2, and I also own book 1 as well too. Nice books to add to my ever growing Traveller collection.

Ohhhh shiny dice, need to feed my addiction (they would go nice with my starburst D6's) :mrgreen:

It also has some rather good cover art on it

Nice dice, and thanks for the answers Spica.

NExt problem, how to print out the big Nemesis deckplan page when I only have access to an A3 printer, any ideas?

Take it somewhere that has a bigger printer? Or break it into parts?

How does one do that for printing purposes?

I've put the PDF on my wishlist at DTRPG, but am thinking about going for the package deal. However... there doesn't seem to be a way for me to get the hardcopy of CB1, and that will influence my final decision as to which way to go... so how can I get CB1 in DTF (I already have it in PDF, so don't need a 'package deal')?

Not sure what they look like so can't get specific. But maybe you could break it down by deck or just pick a point halfway or something and split the deck in half if need be.

Easier if you have a bitmap or vector image already of it but if PDF one could do a screen capture to make a bitmap image.

Or just rescale it to fit on the smaller page.

I seem to recall encountering programs that could take oversize printouts and break them up into panels that could then be assembled. The good ones also provided some overlap, and addressed the issue of unprintable areas on older sheet-fed printers.

Rescaling isn't always an option, especially if the reason for printing them out is to be able to run a miniatures scenario on them.

That is one kick-a$$ cover! Mongoose, please take note!

The cover itself has sold me, but I'll hold off purchasing the pdf until drivethrurpg have one of their discount days. After all, I just spent £100 on Mongtrav books so my credit card is feeling a bit warm at the moment.

Nah, no need to take notes I think the basic black is a good look.

Just give it a nice cold shower, that'll cool it down.

I know, but since I already have the pdf it hardly seems wort hit.

But so long as the pdf plus dead tree combos keep coming I'm likely to keep buying hard copy.

The shiny dice are just a bonus.

Neither, Cyphr.

Think happy, joyous in battle, lizardy-type-thingies

True, but I was thinking internal art.
