Did you get the pdfs from the Bits & Mortar program for that purchase?

To reply to myself, all the Phobetor material is still there, so we should have gotten a Phobetor map download instead of two Reft downloads.
Unfortunately no. The purchase was direct from Amazon for 69.99 and not from a game store.

Not familiar with the program, but an Amazon receipt might be good enough.
Shoot an email to sales@mongoosepublishing.com with a photo of the book or the reciept and we can sort it for you

Speaking of Phobetor, I'm kinda wondering how (and why) a small group of K'kree managed to fly nearly across the entire Charted Space, land on a very isolated planet full of backwards humans transplanted there 35,000 years earlier - and then proceed to get curb-stomped by said humans so hard that the poor K'kree had to run and hide and regress to a TL3 society?

And it's fine for there to be some completely unexplained WTF for ambitious referees to build on. (As long as it's not Foreven Sector.)

A little off topic, but since the matter of K'kree over spinward way came up, my favourite super-minor NPC in Mongoose Traveller is probably Tuk', the K'kree who runs a bar on Theev. It's a throwaway reference in Pirates of Drinax (AKA arguably the best Traveller campaign), and I really, really want to know more. Not only is this far, far from K'kree space, but there's no indication that there are any other K'kree present. Also, Tuk' is female, which is even more interesting in terms of "lone, independent K'kreer!" (that's apparently the true, rarely used, singular).
She's a lone K'kree, so she's obviously insane, by definition. Yet she's also clearly a functional form of insane, since she's apparently running a business and doing pretty well at it. And she's still pushing vegetarianism, we're told, so she's not some sort of total moral degenerate. She's like some crazy outlaw with a heart of gold (by K'kree standards), serving drinks to stinky Human pirates.
I demand that she see further use in all your Drinax campaigns.

That's what she wants you to think. In reality, she's running the show on Theev
Thank you. I will do that when I get back home from the office.Shoot an email to sales@mongoosepublishing.com with a photo of the book or the reciept and we can sort it for you

So anyway. So far the upgraded PDFs have five sides of those (the sector maps), but one of them appears twice on the downloads page and there's no new version of Phobetor [1]. What gives?
[1] Before anyone points it out: the .zip contains the first edition files, and as such the first Phobetor map.

You mean you didn't know? She... may be a Hiver in disguise. A very cunning disguise.
G'Naakbusters

Now I'm picturing her as a very obvious pantomime-style horse costume, but everyone is too drunk to notice. Or just think that's what K'kree actually look like.
Geir
Emperor Mongoose
With six limbs, a head and a tail to work with, she's probably two Hivers, each with some spare limbs available for under-the-counter actions like mixing drinks or reloading a shotgun.... A Very Difficult (12+) Recon check, DM-1 per drink, will allow a customer at the bar to notice one or more extra limbs... in the case of the 'back' Hiver, it may be the limb that has eyes and an indeterminant number of ears or IR sensors (actually that's another Hiver manipulation: they're all ears, but the Hivers can snap their fingers tentacles to use echolocation to 'see' in the dark.)
G'Naakbusters

Oleb is not going to be pleased when he demands to know why his emissaries to Theev are being turned away and gets told its because a heated debate about Hiver infrared sensors ended with his best operatives trying to unzip a bartender and starting a city-wide brawl.

Same question here. The release schedule indicates a pre-order but the usual pre-order stuff doesn't happen, it just adds to cart normally along with in-print stuff, etc. If I order this together with other in-stock stuff will that delay everything until May? Or is it actually in stock?
