FASA:

Adventure Class Ships, Vol 1 (yes)

Adventure Class Ships, Vol 1 (yes, assumeing you mean Vol II)

Star Port Module Number One: Hotel Complex (yes)

The Harrensa Project/Stazhlekh Report (I think so, but I have never seen a copy of it)


Paranoia Press:

Aliens and Artifacts (sounds like a T4 title)

Ryker's Catalog of Arms, Vol 1

Errata for Paranoia Press Products

That is all I have knowledge of.

Err, yes.

Aliens and Artifacts (sounds like a T4 title)

Reference to this appears (and it is a PP title) on the back of SORAG. It purports to contain four new races mentioned in the library data for the Vangaurd Reaches and the Beyond with complete character generation systems and artifacts and weapons used by them. It's alleged availability date was December 1981. I'm just wondering if this ended up being vapourware... it sounds like a cool product....

That is all I have knowledge of.

Thanks for that!

I think I have all the FASA stuff...
The Stazhlekh Report is written by J. Andrew Keith, so I think it's a must have...(Its part of the double adventure...)

Personally, I like the IISS Ship Files by Games Workshop over the FASA ships, but that's because I like quirky designs...

I'm not sure about the PP stuff, but I can't see the list right now...

Both Fasa Adventure Class ships (I think Imperium and Zhodane for the first, and Aslan Mercenary for the second) were published.

The Starport Hotel was published, scaled to fit snapshot counters, and came with a little book describing the hotel itself (penthouse, security, parking area, casino, etc.)

I hope this helps.

Can you (if possible) give me a bit of a summary of these two adventures? (both from the perspective of me wishing to know if I should be seeking it out and from a perspective of someone writing a summary table of all adventures with brief descriptions).

- I'm interested in who wrote them (Brothers Kieth in this instance)
- Publication (Copyright) date
- A paragraph describing the adventure (in this case, one for each if it is a double adventure)
- Date on the adventure (1107, 1110, no date, anytime after 1115, etc)
- Location of adventure (Regina (Regina/Spinward Marches), any desert planet, the Pax Rulin subsector of the Outrim Void, etc)
- How easy it would be to change:
the time it is set in
the place it is set in
the ruleset it is developed for to another of the traveller variants

I'm working on all of this (with the help of some others) for all the adventures I can get info about. If you have this one, some info would be a great help MADDog.

FWIW the FASA double adventure is one of the products available from Sovereign Games ( http://www.sovereigngames.com/HarrensaProject.htm , also frequently listed on eBay) if you're interested in acquiring a copy. I can't answer all your questions but I can give a little bit of info:

Author: Harrensa Project is by Jim Cunningham (the guy who originally created High Passage magazine).

Stazhlekh Report is, as stated above, by J. Andrew Keith

Publication Date: early 1983 (This was one of the very last Traveller products FASA released -- possibly THE last?)

Plot description: see the Sovereign Games page linked above.

Date: I believe both are set in 1107-8 (the 'current' date as of when the book was published).

Location: HP is set in Old Expanses sector. SR is set in Far Frontiers sector. I don't know specific world locations for either. EDIT: the plot description on the Sovereign page also gives world names!

Portability: can't say, unfortunately. I never played either adventure, or even read them beyond a quisk skim-through, and even that was years ago.

As for those Paranoia Press products I'm 99-100% sure they were never released. They're listed as unpublished in the Traveller Bibliography Paranoia Press page and I have no reason to doubt that. Later printings of Paranoia Press products (or at least the ones I have) had errata pages taped inside the covers. It was probably possible to get collected errata for all their products by sending a request. This wouldn't have come to more than 1 or 2 pp max and wouldn't count as a 'product' per se.
