Judges Guild Traveller Items

[Blue Ghost]

A very select few of the JG products rose to the level of being decent, Tancred being one of them. The rest were pretty much pure drek...

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but the loose form fitting "shrink wrap" that covered the modules, and the pre-teen quality fan-art that adorned those products, really had me wondering who was in charge over at JG.

A lot of Micro Games, SJ Games, and sundry small time game producers, at least had the decency to hire respectable artists. The material inside was sort of "meh" on the level of mediocrity.

Even so, I have to admit that I was tempted (ever so loosely) to blow some bucks on these things. Thank goodness I never did.

I still have the "Adventure Class Ships" by FASA, still in the box, but the box is a bit worse for wear. LOTS of deck planes for small ships (under 3000 tons) with several designs for freighters and liners that I used as other ships for adventuring (the players were never quite rich enough to own one of those). It had some nice Aslan designs in it as well.

Starport Hotel was another good one, lots of deck plans that could be reused and recombined for various facilities.

Personally, I liked most of FASA's stuff.

I liked the FASA stuff quite a bit but then again that's expected since the Keiths did so much of it. I have both Adventure Class Ship boxed sets, (they were a prize acquisition made at an early 90s GENCON), now I just wish I had some minitures to go with them.

As to the original thread topic, the 'Green Screen' and Simba Safari are two JG products I liked, the former because it's useful, the latter because I liked the ship. The starships product kind of put me off JG though because of the incredibly simplistic designs.

I still have a fair bit of stock of the material myself. Once I get the server moved I'll probably start making it available for sale again.

I have a few pieces of JG material, and I'd very much like to acquire more ... like, if it were on a CD ... or downloadable PDF's ... or delivered to my office in a plain brown wrapper ...

Jg Pdf

If you decide to do the PDF's I for one would get 50 Starbases. I think I have most of the other stuff (finding it is another story)

Incorrect.

Hunter said he owns the Judges Guild traveller rights, not FASA.

Sorry, my bad. According to my research, FASA sold their Traveller rights to Seeker in 1988. Seeker becomes Seeker Gaming System, then ceases publications in 1992. They reappeared briefly in 2002 reselling their old products. They are now known as PowerFusion3D, who sell Poser models for 3D software.

You'd have to ask them what has happened to the material.

FFE may own the rights. On the FFE site it says they are working on CD of Traveller Fasa stuff.

I just heard back from Power Fusion 3D. Apparently in 2001, the Seeker owner turned over the copyright of the FASA and Seeker material to Marc Miller. So he now owns it. Seeker / Power fusion 3D retains copyright of some deck plans, some of the Martin Metals miniatures, and High Passage and Far Traveller magazines (and their contents).

Time to update the wiki.

I own most of the JG material,but my favorite was the Darthon Queen.My 2nd or 3rd Traveller was DQ.The GM used all the adventures in it.After DQ my best liked items are the Log Book,Star Charts,Starports & the Gateway Maps(Had to do some change when the T20 Gateway book came out).

No I own the JG stuff, not FASA. I think Marc owns the FASA material now.

Yes. Corrected above. Marc owns most of it, except for a few items.

Ahh ... the Darthanon Queen!

I applied the concept of the "Modular Cutter" and expanded the deckplan of the DQ to include interchangeable modules.

In practice, the ship would look like a bunch of shipping containers lashed together along the access spine between the bridge/crew section and the engineeering section.

Now, where did I file those drawings...?
