Memory Alpha

SOC-7
Does anyone know where this adventure appears in print? The place I can find it is in the Short Adventures Classic Reprints.
This book also has Stranded on Arden, and A Plague of Perruques. Two other adventures that I do not remember, where were these printed?

Hey there:

One place Memory Alpha appears is in the T4 Referee's Screen; i.e., it's a booklet inside the screen.

Hope this helps,
Dan

PS I _think_ the other two appeared in old issues of TSR's Dragon Magazine.

M,

When and where the adventures were published isa explained in the Reprints. Suffice it to say, they are the oddballs of the group.

Memory Alpha was an early convention handout and game. No known copies of it still exist, but a fair approximation of the material was cobbled together. Because of this, MA is more like a story line than a published adventure.

Stranded on Arden has seen many different lives and titles. It is the classic 'red tape' adventure found from CT's 'The Traveller Adventure to T4's Anomalies, and just about everywhere in between. It is the needle stuck in the groove of published Traveller adventures. The names and labels change within each iteration of SoA, but the adventure reamins the same.

Plague of Perruques was first published in an issue of DGP's Traveller Digest.

Hope this helps.


Sincerely,
Larsen

Was Memory Alpha based on Philip K Dick's Paycheck (the book, not the crumby film)?

As I said on these boards before - it presents some interesting unexplored mind altering tech in the Third Imperium...

I think you are thinking Outpost Alpha Folio Adventures I & II in the MegaTraveller Referee's Gaming Kit. And Stranded on Arden and A Plague of Perruques were Double Adventure 7 (according to The Short Adventures reprint book). Hey Larsen, are you thinking Exit Visa from The Traveller Book and T4? I just looked through all three and it looks like Exit Visa is the same as Stranded on Arden without the Fifth Frontier War materiel - and also takes place on Alell. Virtually word for word other than that, tho.

Hope that helped,

What did they mean Double adventure 7? I have never seen this, and I don't think there was ever a real book with that name.

Damon Toth,

There was no DA7 until the DA Reprint came out. Those two adventures; SoA and PoP were included to flesh out the Reprint.

That's it. The Red Tape adventure has been used in nearly every Traveller system. It gives the idea of recycling a whole new spin. I also used it or portions of it a few times. It's a good resource.

In The Classic Short Adventures reprint, at the beginning of each of the DA7 sections, their initial publication history is mentioned in a paragraph below the copyright notice.

EDIT-----12/19/04--0922 MST
In the same book, Memory Alpha also has a similar note.

Memory Alpha, my honourable knight, is a different adventure to Outpost Alpha - the MA adventure deals with the player's memory being messed around with, whereas Outpost Alpha deals with immature primordials.
