That's great! Sign me up! Oh, right I just did. My confidence level was high so I splurged for the whole 12 months up front.

Just one note, the "subscription " link on the linked page returned an error (nice error page btw) however you can just click the "Traveller's Aide" link and the subscription link on that page works fine.

Thanks for the comment on the 404 page! I stumbled across a 'best 404 page' website and that made me decided to make ours a bit unique.

Hunter,

I was about to buy the download but I always check the validity of any certificate before buying on-line and just noticed that the certificate as "has expired or is not yet valid". In fact, the certificate as expired the 23rd of this month.

Do you know if this will be corrected soon. Will you aquire a valid certificate?

Not off-hand, I forgot to bookmark it. I'll see if I can find it again. It was quite entertaining!

Sorry about that. I am screaming at my provider at the moment to get it done. They *lost* my work order from last month to get it done before it expired (or so they claim).

The server is still secure, just the cert is expired. It should be replaced hopefully later today (if I screamed loud enough at them...)

You warned them a month ago and they didn't do it. Not very serious, they must be playing Counter-strike or Medal of honor all day long and forget to work.

Thanks for the extremely quick reply

Found it! This is the one I was looking at. Apparently there are more than a few 404 fan sites though from what I found in Google.

http://www.plinko.net/404/

Select the 'Area 404' link on that page.

Another question Hunter

For the moment, I wanted to use this suplement for my Dragonstar game. Do you know if the power level of these weapons would fit in a Dragonstar game?

In DS bullet guns does around 1d10 to 1d12
Lasers around 2d10 to 2d12
and Blasters around 3d10 to 4d12 (all these are from memory, I am at the office right now)

You'll find them differently powered to DS:

Handguns 1d8 to 1d12
Rifles 1d10 to 2d8
Lasers 2d10 to 3d10

TA1 doesn't include anything more powerful, but the THB has the plasma weapons which go up to 9d20.

"Traveller's Aide #1 - Personal Weapons of Charted Space" a PDF supplement for Classic Traveller and Traveller20 by QuikLink Interactive (www.TravellerRPG.com)

Reader Review:

Well I've had a few spare moments today to give this supplement a good read and I'm impressed. The quality is very high and the content is excellent. It does a great job of covering all aspects of personal armament. The persona paragraphs are great and the rules are pretty clearly explained. You get tables and explanations for both the forthcoming Traveller20 (T20) rules set and good old Classic (LBB) Traveller.

There are a few new weapons, some new insights in their use and a good description of Imperial Weapons Permits. There are even some new ways to use your guns, like "Panic Fire" and "Two-Gun Kid" style.

Of course if guns aren't your style they've got you covered with a full selection of lethal and not so lethal melee weapons to chose from.

Scattered throughout the text are over a dozen (13 to be exact, no doubt just so I could say over a dozen in this review) examples of some of the weapons in nice line drawing style, reminiscent of the DGP Equipment Sheets from MegaTraveller.

The whole thing wraps up with a brief look at who makes and sells all the goodies and what happens when you get caught with one you shouldn't have. It promises to be a good series of supplements, I can hardly wait for coverage of armor and military weapons.

You can buy one issue at a time (released every month or two), subscribe to 6 issues of your choice each year at a reduced price or sign up for your pick of 12 issues over two years for greater savings and a free print version Best Of annual issue. Its avaiable now for download.

If there is one major fault with this product it is the background color on the pages. While fine or even preferable for electronic media it is a problem when printing it out. This has been pointed out by other reviewers and the publisher is looking at changing it for future editions.

Guess you missed the post over at the Call to Arms (publicty help) thread, so to confirm:

"By all means MJD/Hunter (or anyone else for that matter) feel free to copy and post it elsewhere, or print it out and tack it up at your flgs."

I printed out a copy for myself and will post it up at my flgs (well not so local, its about 200 klicks) next time I get there. I will look for more spots to post it as I get a chance but if somebody beats me to it thats fine.
