Traveller PDFs - Four New Titles

[MongooseMatt]

Today we have posted not two, not three, but four PDFs for Traveller on DrivethruRPG.com

First up are the long-awaited electronic versions of High Guard and Traders & Gunboats, two packed titles full of starship goodness.

From our partners at Comstar and Avenger, we also have two titles that will only appear in PDF format - Golden Age Starships 1: Fast Courier, super-detailing one class of ship, and One Crowded Hour, a complete adventure.

If you have seen Avenger's hit supplement Type-S, you know just what to expect from these two - not to be missed!


You can find these new PDFs at;

I bought "One Crowded Hour" a few weeks ago. Is this version any different?

Dang, my FLGS hasn't even gotten in hard copy T&G yet.

Especially on the capital ships, the deckplans are fuzzy. Use a vector format (EPS/EPSF) rather than bitmap, or increase the bitmap density...

I can't make out the staterooms on the capital ships. And can just barely make out that there is a 1.5m grid...

Can I please echo this request? It is really hard for me to justify purchasing PDFs when things like the deckplans and even a blank sector map looks so horrible when printed. These are already line drawings. There is no good reason not to publish them in their original vector format. Not only is there a quality advantage, there is a size advantage.

Heck (and I'm sure I speak for myself), I'd even pay for separate PDFs that have really high quality, scalable, vector based deckplans of ships that had already been published in rule books.

Just a beef of mine. Like not including a PDF bookmark index, or using hyperlinks. I simply don't understand why publishers don't take advantage of the electronic format. It's not just digital paper for a screen. There are a lot of advantages, and if all publishers put just a minimal amount of effort into it, there'd be a lot less bitchin' about prices and margins.

I was all set to buy both HG and T&G, but the deckplan issue has put that on hold. I don't need more physical books, but I'm a bit of collector, and was looking forward to these two (echos of my 14-year-old self's excitement at getting the originals). A bit more effort is needed if I'm going to spend $17.50 on each of these.

I too concur about high res deckplans. Fortunately, all the Avenger deckplans (you will see them in the Golden Age Starships series and the adventures being released through Flaming Cobra) are high res vector graphics. (I should know, I do the layout for all Avenger books.)

Sound of MJD approaching....
"Back to your hovel scum, to work on more Avenger goodness!!!"

I'm assuming the High Guard pdf is the newer corrected version?

I haven't mailed my hard copy back yet and I'm one of those that tend to get both the hard copy and pdf for self-editing mistakes and house rules.

Of course.
