"Starter" box set, whats in it?

[shakespear]

I saw this in game trader magazine and cant find any info.

Whats in the box?

I don't think this is on the market yet. I remember the idea being shared but never any official notice or content lists. Having said that you can imagine it must have at least some sort of rulebook and basic adventure.

Still in development, but planned to be a three book set, plus some maps and extras. Things Players Should Know, Referee Information and a full campaign.

Subject to change without notice of course.

Expect to see the ebook version end of December/beginning of January!

No rulebook then? Good to know, been holding off buying a physical rulebook, in case there'd be one in this set.

 

[MongooseMatt]

The Starter Set will contain the full Core Traveller rules set (we were going to cut things down, but the original starter set didn't and we thought it would just irritate people if they did not have access to everything).

The hardback is obviously more durable (and less of a squeeze!), the starter set may be handier during actual play.

How big will the box be? Will it be LBB size or A4 size? Will it be packed with books n stuff, or will there be airspace to store other books (like adventure modules) in it?

 

[MongooseMatt]

LBB size, and we have not figured out box size yet!

Any update on this as it's supposed to be released this month in PDF format?

 

[MongooseMatt]

Just waiting for some art and last layout, may be a couple of weeks more.

Much obliged!

Oh, and one new note on this...

There was so much information we wanted to pack into this set that we have moved up from LBB size to full size! Think of the original starter set, but with much thicker books and a complete campaign!

Looking forward to this, Matt.
