From the link, I am having trouble figuring out exactly what was bundled together.

 

[dmccoy1693]

Its a 5 pack. There are 5 Traveller Character Packs there.

 

[Treebore]

Much nicer!

But still not in PDF? :-(

 

[atpollard]

Ok, I get a bundle of 5 character packs, but what is a character pack?
(I get 24 pages of what, exactly?)

Is this like the Mother-Of-All-Character-Record-Sheets?

The description is on the bottom of the linked page - its non-specific - but a 24 page 'character sheet' does sound pretty inclusive

Pretty much. It is pretty damn nifty. There's the standard character sheet, equipment log, deck plans, sheets for contacts, patrons, rivals, and enemies; a will... I'm mostly a GM, but I picked one up for some of my favourite characters, and I think once my current game gets into full swing the players are going to want them.

I haven't bought character sheets in ten years, and I picked up several of these. Take from that what you will.

So this "Bundle" is a set of 5x of the same thing? So if someone bought the Traveller Character Pack for $9.99 you get just 1x copy of what you would get in the other "Bundle". Sorry but haven't you guys ever heard of making Copies of anything? I never write on my Originals, I always use photo-copies...don't you?

Sometimes you want to have one or more copies of the same thing, because having everything nicely printed, with a cover, is more convenient and neater than having a sheaf of papers stapled together and shoved inside a book. If you want to make the photocopy argument, Mongoose provides a character sheet FREE to download, yet there was obviously enough demand that not only have the made the Character Pack, they're now selling it in groups of five.

People pay extra money to have something that looks nice, and something they can be proud to look at. It's not rocket surgery.

 

[Bygoneyrs]

Ok so there are no more sheets in the 5x Bundle than in the 1x pach then? For me I use alot of handouts for my players and don't see the need to have multiple copies of the same forms. Speaking as a GM, I am very capable of handling the forms for myself and giving out to my players what they will need or that I will actually use.The Bundle is a nice idea for the "players" if they believe then want or need to have all that. paper might be made from trees, but money still doesn't grow on trees<g>!

Does anybody remember CT Supplement 12 - Forms and Charts?

 

[Bygoneyrs]

Yes I do, but there were NOT 5 copies of the same forms in the book either. Now I am NOT saying that having the forms is a bad thing, just that it seems rather foolish or lazy on the part of GMs to not make photo copies of what ever forms one might need or use. I mean really do you think each player is going to NEED all those pages for their one character, or is going to not loose some of them? Lets be real here!!!

I suggested the character pack bundle (ducks for cover).

One of my players, Nicola, liked having written stuff. Having it as a single booklet per character as a souvenir of gaming appealed to her.

I do provide photocopied materials for players. Some people like the character packs, some people prefer printing their own character sheets.

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

What's the problem people????

If you don't want the bundle DON'T BUY IT.

It is exactly what it says it is... 5 Character Packs

Lower S&H then buying all 5 separately.

I don't have a problem with this at all.

 

[Bygoneyrs]

My point was I wanted to see if there was any thing different between the two products other that 1x to 5x and the price.

I meant no harm.

I do wish everyone a Happy Holidays to all.

[Matian]

You were a little condescending, but I am too, so that's okay. :lol:

It doesn't appeal to *all* players, but I'd say it appeals to about 3/4 of my gaming group.

I would really love a similar book of forms for GMs, but I think it would see limited use. It would make a great S&P entry, though.

 

[Bygoneyrs]

Well what can I say, that I am a Old man and a little gruff at times!

GM forms would be awesome!

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would pay that much for index cards.

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would pay that much for index cards.

Its not the same as index cards. If you're in the UK, go to a reasonably big ASDA supermarket and buy an "ASDA index holder and 80 cards" in a loose leaf binder for £1.
