101 Robots

Is this a good supplement?

Is this a good supplement?

I think it is. The DGP people wrote Book 8 for GDW, and they published 101 Robots under their own imprint.

The book is basically the sister book to 101 Vehicles (except that one's for MT). There's a couple of pages in the front that describes certain systems, but the bulk of the book is the 101 robot designs. Each robot is fully statted and fully illustrated.

Think of 101 Robots as 101 examples of robots after you've read Book 8.



I understand the book is rare and probably pricy, if you find it some place. Since it is, basically, going to bring over 100 pre-designed robots to your game, you'll have to decide if that's worth whatever purchase price you're looking at.

Thanks for the advice. I ordered it for the staggering sum of $10. It sounds great.

You are very lucky

The price is normally north of $100.

The price is normally north of $100.

The asking price anyway Not sure anyone has bought it for that amount.

Still, at that kind of money and the supposed rarity I'd wonder about counterfeit pirated copies. Caveat emptor.

Actually, I've bought from this guy before and he does this with a lot of stuff. I bought some super rare Rolemaster stuff from him for almost cover price as well. He's got some other Traveller stuff I'd like to get too (deluxe edition of TNE), but I don't know if I'll the money in time.
Still, we'll see. When it gets here I'll either complain or celebrate. Either way, for $15 (including shipping) I thought it worth a shot.

 

[far-trader]

Definitely. One might even say a cheap shot Heck that's less than 15 cents per bot, a bargain if ever. And a great seller to be offering at fair prices.

Deluxe TNE eh? Was that the hardcover* edition? I know some who would snap that right up

...ah, boxed set with FF&S and the map and goodies. Yeah, still a nice package

* What hardcover? Did I imagine it? I can so clearly picture it, nice black cover, embossed text...

 

[howardfanatic]

Yeah, it looks cool. If I can just raise the money...

Well, here is the store. These guys are really good. I've bought several things from them and all of them arrived quickly, well packed, and looking new. Shop around because when he has a deal, he really has one!
