Hi all!
Well this week someone on the mainland gave a good yank on the rope that
keeps PEI from floating away....and while we were nice and close to the
shoreline, Traveller:TNE arrived!
(Welcome to reality in the Canadian Maritimes!)
I noticed several weeks ago, that people were sharing some rather large
collections of errata. Have they been archived on their own, at some
easily accessible site?
If not, could those folks who diligently compiled the errors and their
corrections, forward them to me?
Much appreciated.
I have only a couple of comments so far, as I haven't read too far into
the book yet.
1. I thought the soft cover was okay, but the paper inside doesn't appear
to be very resilient. Already, just flipping between character tables
has resulted in some wrinkles.
2. The artwork seems to be much better.
3. I enjoyed the History section, because I have often struggled to try and
put all of the Traveller material into some kind of perspective.
Now, if they could reliably put all the various products on a timeline!
4. I can't put my finger on it, but the Character Generation seems a little
more friendly. However, I would have liked to get a summary of the steps
required to generate a full character, along thelines of the summary
in MegaTraveller. There will be more wrinkled pages before I get the
hang of *all* the details.
So these are all pretty superficial comments. I have never had a complete
grasp on Traveller, and compared to many TMLers, it will likely be years
before I do. But the layout of the book (and so far the content) has me
more confident that I might be able to get a game going among some friends.
Any comments/suggestions are welcome!
