I find that artwork oddly inspirational for an adventure I have coming up...

 

[Jarac Rassen]

Now that is done gorgeous artwork!

Enjoy a day at the beach with your fellow Travellers.

A snip at Cr250000, the Air/Raft has a range of 3,000 km, seats 6, comes with a satellite uplink, and has a full-spec TL8 autopilot.

The artwork finally solves my angst, about which side the steering wheel is on, in futuristic vehicles that don't require roads.

Might depend on the local market.

Plug and play steering wheel.

Nonsense. In the future, civilisation has finally achieved enlightenment and drives on the left as God intended.

 

[Condottiere]

Or, the centre.

Travellers in a Drag Racer, or law enforcement in a Public Safety Cruiser?

The PSC has enhanced armour, a ram plate, satellite uplink, ejection seats and doesn't come with lethal weaponry, but...

Who wins?

Looking good!. Need to see what books I’m missing to get it to add up to post free - gaming logic, I haven’t spent sixty quid more I’ve saved a tenner on postage!

Guess that depends, it he Drag Racer faster? Does it come with a jamming device cause it isn't faster then the satellite uplinik.

Happy Birthday (present) to me

Mine was earlier in the month. 61 so in my prime - next year will be a bit more even.

It’s the same month so a far as I’m concerned it still counts.

Who did the art for this? It's not listed on the Drivethrurpg product page.

While I looked, there are more Traveller books out there without artist credits. Is this something that could get looked at? Credit where credit is due etc.

Most of the other things I see on DTRPG sans credits are generally AI art and I know this ain't the case here

The indicia pages have always listed the artists, in my experience. (That said, it would be way cool to have the individual artists credited by piece somewhere. Probably good for the artists too.)
