Two new GDW MegaTraveller thingies. One is that Challenge
60 is out (which means that I ought to be paid for Surprise Party rsn 8-),
with the usual dearth of good MT stuff. What it does have is the combat
rules for McInnis'es Wet Navy (which I wasn't totally impressed by),
A bunch of starship designs by Gannon that are theoretically "Black War"
warships (they look better done than the last naval suppliment. There's
even a 12,000 ton J3, 3G Meson Gun J CL, which we all know is a very
useful type of ship to have 8-). An interesting tidbit in the
Traveller News Service indicates that Dulinor is starting to play
hardball opressing his political opposition within his home area
(or alternatively that Terrorism is on the rise in a _big_ way,
another great sign of the onset of chaos).
Other product, and this is a neat one, is a $4.50
miniadventure by Charles Gannon entitled "Assignment: Vigilante".
It's about a starmerc outfit with a modified Subsidized liner
turned fighter-carrier, operating as an anti-piracy force in Diaspora
sector. It's got a 16-page campaign/scenario book, a color 3-page
cardboard ship deckplan for the title liner (with some other random
but good artwork), and seems like a truly great package for the
size and money. I suggest it highly. I also intend to convince GDW
that this is a great format to do adventures in (bigger than Challenge
can run, but a whole lot less hassle than a "real" adventure, which
is 4-6 times as big).
