Also, none of the page references on page 28 are correct. I finally tracked down the InDesign control to auto-update; my apologies that I didn't double-check and thanks as always for your eagle eyes! All cross-references should now correctly reflect page numbers.
FYI, p22 is blank intentionally so as to have the QuickStart section separator appear on the right side of that spread. Updated version now available. I downloaded the file and all page references are unchanged and still incorrect on page All righty, I manually went through and removed and re-created those xrefs, and the latest version just uploaded should address the issues on that entire page.
Thanks for your diligence and patience! I checked the newest file and the page references on page 28 are still incorrect from "Obstacles" to "Damaging Spells". There is mention of "Actor Trackers" on page which states "The Actor Trackers contained in the Appendix of this book provide an easy way to keep track of the actors in your game world.
If not, what is it referring to? I'm probably being dense, but any assistance would be much appreciated. E November 04, pm UTC. Those are still in development, and Excel files for each will be uploaded to the listing probably by Thanksgiving. They'll be free for anyone who already owns the book. Thanks for pointing that out; I'm sure other readers will have the same question! Thanks for the quick reply! Good to know.
I'll be sure to be on the lookout for those additions. Amazing book! Thanks so much for the kind words! I probably missed something but where playing published adventure is addressed?
There's not a huge amount of added stuff around this approach, because most of the other tools and tables in the book are written to be easily used with this in mind. Thanks for the question! There's also a few places where this topic is addressed, inline with other subjects.
For example, there's a section in the discussion on Reward Stars that talks about adapting XP to RS and vice versa with published adventures. Just bought this TOME! Thanks so much. A couple of questions: 1.
Any videos planned or posts online someplace for examples showing how to use this book? I have a few gameplay questions that could be ironed out showing examples in play etc. Thanks once again! E November 03, pm UTC.
I did include several indexes in the appendix to aid in finding just the right thing, and there's actually two Tables of Contents: one that's summarized and another that's complete. I must admit I haven't tried to navigate in Acrobat but they should be nested at least, making it potentially a bit easier? I'm not super photogenic and have never done video production, and to be honest, I need to spend every hour I can on the other stuff in the pipeline, sorry : Happy to address specific questions though.
Thanks for reaching out! I just found the indexes and came back to let you know, thanks for getting back. The only 'question' I have right now, and will probably reveal itself through play is clue tracking and chaining quests. They seem amazing, but I forgot about their rules after reading them - there's a lot to digest in this book haha.
Anyways, thanks again! Kasper C. Book introduces unparalleled level of complexity to even simplest actions. Rules adjustments are focuse [ Adam T. As a relatively new participant as PC, this book is a great companion to the core rulebooks to test out possible player builds, spells, etc.
Lucas H. Just need to take a second to appreciate how comprehensive this quickstart toolkit is His claim about dynamic gaming holds up Take a single book, and use it in a myriad of different ways.
Highly [ Thizz M. So much stuff, tons of it. Matthew O. What a beast of a book! Love the ability to quickly integrate hooks into existing games for the ahem busy GM who does [ I also remembered them being very ecstatic over digital books as they cut out the printing costs, and the distribution costs were so low as to mostly ignored in their calculations.
IF Mongoose really wanted to increase sales, they'd give previous owners a decent discount to entice them to shell out for the additional art, and maybe put See more the "Update " in parentheses since it makes it sound like you need the previous book and this is just an update for that. But, anyway, there is absolutely no reason to buy this book if you own the Core Rules and are happy with it.
If you want a graphical uplift, and a few alterations based on customer feedback, then this is what this release is for. I am, myself, looking forward to receiving a special edition physical book with leatherette cover - in a similar way that Call of Cthulhu fans might be looking forward to getting their 40th Anniversary book with a new cover and a few extras inside but essentially still being identical to the standard core book.
Book looks great, clean layout and improved art. Glad to see the ship design rules are back in the core rules and they have listened to their customers and gotten rid of the isometric deckplans and gone back to the simpler 2d plans. I got five good years and hours upon hours of play out of the last Core rules. Happy to pay for something fresh! I agree the artwork is better than the previous version but it's still pretty amateurish I don't understand why mongoose doesn't hire some good professional freelance artists for this.
The artwork in the new book still doesn't come close to the quality found in products by other RPG companies. I'd rather there be no art at all in the book than have poorly done images added in to ugly the whole thing up This is the main reason I bought the new version because the original art was absolutely awful. I have to ask, is the description for this product accurate?
Specifically the terms "fully revised" and "many tweaks and rules updates? There are updates, but they are more minor corrections or the like. If you have the rulebook, you will not need to update for anything significant - it is not invalidated. If all the Imperium-specific stuff was removed, then likely this new revised core book was coming no matter what as Mongoose dropped the IP.
This is an artwork and layout re-work. All rules are the rules with that one exception. They've added the basic rules for Starship creation from High Guard but they arent new rules. So unless you actually have the 2e Core Book or the Central Supply Catalog book, you'll have to simply guess what those stats might be. To make room for the added starship creation rules, the Sindal Sub-sector has been removed. On the bright side, the new artwork is mostly good and could be considered an upgrade and the PDF document runs exceptionally fast on many devices I've tested it on.
Great comments! Yep, it was mentioned that the armour table containing battle dress and vacc suits has been cropped on the Mongoose forum. There is no need to purchase this book if you are a Traveller fan. It looks like they have corrected the Armour table to include the Hostile Environment Suit and Battle Dress now on an update on the Mongoose site at least.
Should have been updated here also. Good work for spotting it! How 'bout an upgrade path for folks who bought the version less than a week before you released the version? That is an insult to Mongoose's customers, actual or potential. Better to go with Cepheus Engine than allow one's self to be over-charged like this. Cepheus Engine barely has any art and has no licensing overheads because it is a retro-clone based on an old OGL.
Lack of art doesn't make the game bad. I think it's perfectly valid to discuss similar RPGs in the comments thread of a particular product, especially when said product seems like a cheap cash-grab. Mongoose don't need you to defend them, they're a big company, they can handle a little criticism and competition. Mongoose are not a big company.
They are a relatively small company with big overheads that come from paying for an IP license, and having creative staff that get paid a proper wage. Mongoose is a "Big Company" in the same sense that they are "a big boy" and don't need you to defend them from perfectly valid criticisms of their product. If you want to judge standards then Mongoose is an old player in the game, and should be able to do better than a layout 'update' that looks like it's fresh from , especially when charging existing customers full price for this dubious improvement.
By comparison Cepheus Engine is free, mostly lacks art, and suffers from a slightly less readable layout than this modern 'masterpiece'. The fact that it's based on an 'old' open gaming license means practically nothing, considering most modern OSR games are based on an even older OGL and are some of the most innovative games coming out today. That's not to mention the fact that Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition is based on the very same ruleset Cepheus is.
No one is saying Cepheus is better laid out, but it's certainly more worth the price they are charging See more for it. B Cepheus Engine is cheap by comparison and that is all. The Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition is an evolution from that, based on trying to improve the game based on customer feedback. A lot of customer feedback from 1st edition was about improving layout and presentation - and that is what they did. If people were truly happy with Cepheus Engine products, then why hang around Discussion threads for Mongoose Traveller products bemoaning their costs?
A My criticism is valid. If you'd care to indicate exactly which comments are not valid, we can continue from there. Historically, Mongoose publications have been rife with textual errors. I won't harp on that because the entire RPG publishing industry seems to be incapable of publishing error-free books. Cepheus also provides some great roleplaying experiences.
B Rather than "cheap", I'd write "inexpensive" by comparison. THAT is the point of my comment. While Mongoose's products are more shiny and pretty, those qualities do not necessarily make for a better gaming experience, unless one's gaming experience depends upon art and flashy layout.
C Cepheus provides for far more than "a stick for some critics It provides for high quality gaming experiences for those with imagination See more and a lack of dependence upon slick layout and fancy graphics. I do not hang out in product descriptions. I received an announcement that an updated pdf was available for a product and took advantage of that invitation to check it out. My return to this thread is based upon notices that you replied to my comment. That is NOT "hanging out".
