Traveller's digest...

[Botcho]

Heyya folks,

I've become obssesed with Traveller's Digest Magazines. Is there a legit channel to purchase PDFs of all 21 issues? Google is being less than helpful on the subject.

Is it considered CT or MT?

not at present. Marc's been trying to negotiate a DGP CD deal.

Anyone suggested a kickstarter... ?

Thanks guys, is the Travellers Digest run considered Classic Traveller or Mega Traveller?

through at least issue 8, classic. by 12, MT. I think issue 9 was the switch to both MT and Letter sized... but I can't check right now.

They all use the UTP, tho', so even the CT issues are MT ready.

You got it, Wil. Issue 9 was all about Capital, with the PCs meeting (and interviewing) the Emperor, getting knighted, and arranging a surprise party for Iphegenia. It also included a scenario with the Aslan delegation (that got caught up in the assassination) trying to find a way off-world, which opens with newscast coverage of the events at the Palace.

All pretty cool.

The "Grand Tour" campaign installments and accompanying sector details / library data that dominate each TD issue predate the Rebellion, though, so the publication has CT setting data through the end of its run.

(Several years back I went on an eBay spree to pick up copies of the full run. After the fact, I realized I was bidding against MWM on some of the auctions!)

Thanks guys,

Just like me to go and get obsessed over the run of publications locked in limbo. I just did a casual search for The Starship Operators Manual, Vol. 1 and found one on amazon for $175.87. Wow.

You can find bargains on eBay if you are patient. I picked up SOM for around $25, and issues of TD in the $6-8 range, especially if you buy them in bundles.

Jeez, and I've got two of the bastards! Maybe I should sell one?

...but as Loren Wiseman says, "Why don't they sell for that price when _I'm_ selling them"???!!!

You might want to search Megatraveller as a keyword on abebooks.com. Wayne's Books in Arizona had some of the Traveller's Digest, including one compendium.

If you're collecting Digests you might also want to look at the Megatraveller Journal (which was DGP's follow on title). Only 4 issues, but pretty cool.
