Traveller Release Schedule 2024

[shirgall]

Well, it should be

Army & rules for large fights on planets including planetary invasion from space
Navy & rules for fighting ships in space both large and small
Marines & rules for fighting in zero-G and boarding other ships
Merchants & rules for trade, piracy, and smuggling
Scouts & rules for subsector, system, and world surveying and exploration
Psions & rules for psionics
...

sounds familiar.

Traditionally the Merchant relates to the Noble career path, as the Nobles had the greatest wealth, and wanted to use their riches to bolster their status and buy exotic goods from around the world, hence they were always patron/client to the merchant.

In a more modern or far future setting, then perhaps other combinations possible.

My point was this was the LBB path, give or take, decades ago.

I hope they don't go that way, as I hate looking through a million books trying to find that one rule I read, but can't remember where I saw it. At most, I want 5 or 6 books with rules.

Ooh, the Aslan have stealthily sneaked on the list (at least I wasn't aware of such a book being in the works). Eagerly awaiting the Clans of the Aslan.

I am very, very excited for this book!

Vehicle book update would be amazing, it feels overdue now

It’s written and in editing. It’ll come out next year. I know this because the author is posting about it here.

Updated Vehicle Handbook in the works

Just to let you know and to solicit, well, opinions and frustrations, I am working on an update to the Vehicle Handbook to address at least the things that have left me a bit frustrated with the current edition and some other things. This is not a Fire, Fusion, and Steel-type redo, but in line...

Good Morning!
Are there any updates available regarding the three announced print releases for November?

ps: I'm especially excited for the Starship Operator's Manual!

 

[MongooseMatt]

Already shipping in the US, hoping stock will arrive in the UK today!

 

[DeepSpaceAdventures]

And what can I say, it's just been sent!

 

[TrippyHippy]

Without making any political points, can somebody advise how much the upcoming US Tariffs may impact distribution and costs next year?

 

[Vormaerin]

Not until we know what they actually are. Right now there's not enough detail to determine what impact it will have.

 

[Sigtrygg]

Time to set up a printing firm in the US...

Got my print-copy in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Very Happy.

Laugh it up. I already know of some RPG companies that are cancelling products because they can't afford to publish. Traveller is now owned by a British company and I am not sure where in the world it is printed. If it is printed outside the US the cost is going up and it may not be cost effective to shift it to the US either.

 

[Condottiere]

I thought it would be either Holland or China.

Already contemplating the move to all electronic resources for Traveller. I do that for some games already, but have to admit I do like the physical copies and not all RPGs offer electronic copies. It's getting harder not to offer electronic versions though. And for searching at the table, can't beat an eReader or tablet. I use them extensively now. Still roll physical dice - always will unless I'm using a VTT.

I mainly use pdf files and the search capability is great. Also the updates if something changes. That doesn’t stop me from stocking my shelves too, though. I might get an iPad Pro next year to have them in a portable format.
