Alien Realms

[zonk]

As I said in a previous thread, way (WAY) back in the day I collected all the old CT stuff, but somehow Alien Realms and Spinward Campaign passed me by. Living in the hinterland has that problem back when it was all mail order or the hobby shops. I must have missed the ad for these in JTS back then.

So how was Alien Realms? Good module? What did it cover?

Alien Realms was a set of adventures for the various major alien races. I haven't perused my copy that much, but what I have seen is interesting. The artwork is hit and miss, but overall the book isn't bad.

Haven't ever seen the Spinward Marches Campaign, though it's available on CD-ROM with the rest of the Classic Traveller reprints.

Zonk,

Mr. Meier's post is spot on. Alien Realms is a collection of adventures featuring Traveller's Six Major races sometimes alone and sometimes in combination.

Do you remember the adventures at the end of each of CT's Alien Modules? Alien Realms is a collection of similar adventures.

Like all CT adventures, indeed like most of that era in RPGs, the Alien Realms adventures have a "bare bones" style. There is quite a bit that is left up to the GM.


Regards,
Bill

I think it's a mix of good and meh material. I personally like the adventures involving the Zho and Vargr the best.
