Traveller Trading Cards

[Rhialto the Marvelous]

Oh wow... those cards are for a Perry Rhodan TCG.

Perry Rhodan is the German answer to Buck Rogers, except there's no tongue in the cheek of most of his fans.

The cards look fabulous, though. If Marc had a budget to commission that guy... I'm sure even in b/w they would work and look just great...

Not particularly for Traveller, and I don't speak German, but these are cool trading cards for further ideas:

Oh yeah, and all the PCs will want the first one there. A nuclear grenade launcher. Wonder what the range is? And the blast radius? That's what I thought, a suicide weapon. Wonder why it has a magazine then o:

The atom rocket launcher looks like an old Space Marine weapon

from the orginal Space Marine (Games Workshop) book.

As for the details, (IMO)

Atom rockets are only used in space or planets with no atmosphere and light gravity.
Similar to the current US military Dragon missile the rockets are used to penetrate armor vehicles or building/structures.
I estimate the range to be about 10k with a danger zone of 3k for blast and 10k for radi if no hard suits are being worn.

The US made similar weapons during the Cold War. Witness the M-388 Davy Crockett.
