Traveller Releases - Marches Map Pack and 1,001 Characters

[MongooseMatt]

Within the next few days two new releases for Traveller will be hitting the shelves of your local games stores - the long-awaited Spinward Marches Map Pack and the giant 1,001 Characters.

Supplement 7: 1,001 Characters

A referee’s treasure trove, 1,001 Characters provides a quick and easy reference to over a thousand non-player characters, ready for play! Divided into easy-to-use sections, a referee will quickly be able to find the appropriate alien bounty hunter, starport administrator or backwater hunter easily. Each character comes with name, equipment, skills and background, giving them life and personality right from the page.


Spinward Marches Map Pack

The Spinward Marches awaits your exploration in this huge poster map, featuring every system, trade link and starbase in the sector. Beautifully illustrated in full colour, this map is the first in a series that will allow you to explore the entire Third Imperium and beyond, joining posters together to form one gigantic map! Includes a full key to aid navigation.

Nav Charts.

Love the Maps. Got SM and Trojan Reaches, they look very nice right now, but they haven't been used yet, but so far they rock. Looking forward to the next ones.

My Referee got 1001 Characters the other day, and I had a flip through it before we began our session. It looks really, really good. Lots of interesting characters, classified into groups in ways that sensibly reflect usual gaming practice in Traveller (i.e. plenty of criminals, terrorists, dodgy politicians and so forth). It could have done with an index, or a more detailed contents page, but the main body of the text is very good indeed.

>Beautifully illustrated in full colour, this map is the first

when I first saw this I thought you'd adopted the idea Ive seen on several maps where there was something other than a plain white or blue dot for the world.

Judging by the cover its the same presentation as traveller maps going back 20years .... functional but not beautiful and "full" colour has meant having more than the 4 colour print process in use since the late 80's (red yellow blue and purple here)
