Other new full-book careers for CT.

[BlackBat242]

Since you seem to be playing with CT now, I would like to suggest options for later Career Books.

Here's a list of career articles I have collected... if permission could be obtained from their authors, some could be combined into sufficient material (when properly filled-out) for a Book.

Suggestions are:
1. Underworld (has several different career paths), Rogue, and Terrorist.
2. Star Cops, Wanted Dead or Alive (Bounty Hunters), and Espionage (Spies).

and more could be worked out if there is demand.

22) Robe and Blaster: Upgrading Aristocracy in Traveller
25) The Self-Made Traveller: Optional Skill Acquisition
27) The Imperial Secret Service
31) Prior Service in Traveller: alternative character generation
59) CORE: Consulary Office of Reconnaissance and Exploration
63) Imperial Trooper: new characters

All good suggestions.

Should probably point out that the reason we went ahead with this book is because a) we had some Classic writers on hand, b) it seemed like a bit of fun, and c) why not?

What we did not expect was the response on social media which was... somewhat more than we thought it might be

We'll have to see how things go once Book 9 is released. It makes no sense running two different game systems alongside one another, but doing some other bits and pieces would potentially be on the cards. And it is quite a funky thing.

When settling on which release to do, we figured a new Adventure/Double Adventure would not be desperately exciting, and we had talked about a Supplement 14. Book 9 seemed like the right place to start.

As I said, we'll see what happens next. However, we had already pencilled something in for Classic Traveller for the 50th anniversary...

Robe and Blaster is basically a Nobles power up benefits article, but the benefits are some nice plot hooks.

One career I always mised is MoJ...
