How many pages do the vector movement rules run to?

 

[Libris]

Dang. Looks like the Companion is one of the few books I didn’t get from Mongoose

How many pages do the vector movement rules run to?

Eight pages, from 169 - 177.

I weakened and bought the pdf just for the vector rules.

And immediately noticed the obvious counter illustrations.

So when do we get those counters?

Looks like we could be looking at a brand new product line. Space combat counters.

 

[Sigtrygg]

I really hope so.

Or perhaps I did as a Drivethru email just popped up saying that the Companion has been updated in my library. Whoot!

I wanted to say thanks to the Mongoose gang for making this a free pdf upgrade. You didn't need to do that, and I - for one - appreciate it.

 

[Sigtrygg]

If this is going to be updated next year can I suggest additional sections are needed?

A variant technology chapter or two for a start.

Also the rules that have been put out in supplements should be collected in a future companion.

Matt - at risk of exposing my technophobe tendencies (again), when looking at my old Companion purchase

it seems that my free pdf was in fact a free ebook. Subsequently all the freebies were PDFs. I'm not sure that was what I intended. Am I entitled to download the PDF and if so how do I do that?

If you check again, should be there waiting for you!

 

[Farqs]

Matt - and that it is; many thanks. I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Ragngand]

Just bought this, and I find the 2024 Update layout and style far superior to the previous edition of Traveller Companion, well done!

 

[Daeglan]

I am afraid we cannot come up with a good way of doing that, and we gave it quite some thought. The best way to look at it, I think, is that the new book comes out next year... but we have released a free preview for existing owners.

The other option would be to hold onto the PDF until next year which seemed... not particularly great...

you could put a crypo hash in the book...

Hi Matt, I'm having exactly the same issue as Farqs: my two most recent pdf purchases are on the downloads page of my Mongoose account, but the Traveller Companion is not.

Should be with you now!

Should be with you now!

Bloody hell, that was quick. Thanks, Matt!

 

[Avollant]

I had to go get it since it did not show up on my update notice... but it was there.

Dumb question…

Having used Print on Demand services before the setup cost was ~£100 per book for which I received one hardback printed copy. Successive copies are £16 each, and initial printing took ~ 3 weeks

What stops anyone from acquiring the latest PDFs and running their own disintermediation service?

The Bu & Embla PDF is another example of how POD could be self-published

i suspect there are others with back-orders which go back several months - it’s hard to see why when POD is so readily available

According to DriveThruRPG, the PDF was last updated Feb 9, 2024. What's changed?

I bought my book (along with others) at a physical shop in Australia. It doesnt seem to have anything which says how to download the pdf. Is there a way to know if it is eligible for the free pdf download or is that just for books bought online? Thanks
