Greetings, fellow spacefarers!
I'm brand-new to the forum, and very new to Traveller. I just ordered Books 0-8 and should get them soon in the post.
Getting into a new RPG is very bewildering, but I'm excited about a change of venue from the tried-and-true fantasy/S&S-based RPG experience.
(If these Q's are in the wrong place, my apologies, Mods.)
1) Is anyone familiar with the Judges Guild CT materials, and if so, would they be worth the investment?
2) Are the Supplements necessary? I thought about getting the collection of supplements, but decided to wait after having read the rules first.
3) What is the font in which the titles of the books are printed, if anyone can identify it?
4) Has anyone adapted CT for use with a ERB Barsoom-inspired campaign?
5) Is anyone aware of a source for making numbered hex maps, suitable for making charts for CT?
6) On the traveller wiki, I had read a fascinating article on the Ancients, and wished to know more about them. Is there a single source of data on the Ancients available? I've heard of a module called Secret of the Ancients, IIRC. Is this the best place to look?
7) Is the Library Data on this website the same as what is in the supplementary books, or this person's homebrew for his own CT Universe?
Thanks in advance for your time.
