Tinker, Spacer, Psion, Spy
by Mysterious B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/13/2011 13:12:03

Excellent product that expands and builds upon the Twilight Sector. Adding more careers and depth the what is already shaping up to be the best Alternative Traveller Universe. The art is absolutely phenomenal and Mongoose (whose rules engine this game uses) should take heed, as Terra Sol Games (TSG) is now raising the bar for Traveller art and hire these guys. Furthermore, it takes Traveller where it has only lightly treaded before...realms of transhumanism and also cutting edge SF. If you liked TSG other Twilight Sector offerings - you are bound to love this one.

Six Guns Gauss Weapons
by Alan T. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/03/2011 02:21:22

Another excellent product from Mr Dougherty. I particularly like the "customer testimonial" on page 8. Easily transferrable to other versions and settings of traveller as well as similar games.

The Starfarer's Gazette #1

A useful magazine Valediction Freeport is useable in a wide variety of settings and its characters easily transferrable to other locations.Eridani Aerospace & SLS a couple of usefull companies. In general Starfarers Gazette shows promise to be at least as good as the Journal

Six Guns Gauss Weapons
by Daniel H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/07/2011 10:51:08

The bottom line: As long as Terra/Sol maintains the standards set with "Gauss Weapons", I'll buy any other entries in the "Six Guns" series without hesitation.

"Gauss Weapons" starts off with a few pages delving into the whats and hows of electromagnetically accelerated personal slug throwing weapons, including more detailed descriptions of the standard Traveller rules for these weapons (including a whole page on the batteries!) and additional rules and equipment options to make things more interesting. (This includes accessories and different types of ammunition that would work in any Traveller setting.)

The remaining 2/3 of the book is like a magazine review of a series of gauss weapons, from pistols and carbines up to assault rifles. These reviews include pictures, expert testimonials and opinions, and statistics (both "real world" sounding and actual rules). This section is quite amusing in many places, with comments like "such-and-such manufacturer markets this as a 'prestige weapon'...". Though the "fluff" references "Twilight Sector" specific corporations, there is nothing setting specific about the weapons themselves, and they would trivially drop into any other Traveller setting.

The final page of content contains a quick reference sheet of all of the relevant Mongoose Traveller statistics for the included weapons.

The Starfarer's Gazette #1
by Daniel H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/20/2011 18:40:43

The Starfarer's Gazette is somewhat of a spiritual heir to the old "JTAS" magazine as produced by GDW.

It starts off with some news items (set in the Terra/Sol universe instead of the Spinward Marches though) that help add some flavor for GMs and players, and then heads into a series of detailed articles as can be seen from the TOC in the preview. The central "idea" of the Gazette is that the reviews are published by a travelling starship whose crew visits the listed locations and reviews the products they are given. This is a mildly droll format, and the Gazette does not over-do it, which I appreciated.

"Valediction Freeport" is very nicely done and establishes enough material while leaving quite a lot of leeway for GMs to customize the setting. This semi-legal asteroid port could prove to be a very handy base of operations or at least a consistent destination for spacefaring players looking for legal, barely legal and less-than-legal items.

A new faction called the "Octopi" (or sometimes "Octapi" - I suspect this second form is a typo) is introduced, and could be anything from a rogue group of AIs to a nutty clan of mutants to a full-on alien threat. The Octopi could make a useful recurring "weird contact", and like most things in the Terra/Sol repertoire are detailed enough to be useful but vague enough to use.

Also included are writeups on a few corporations who supply the sorts of goods that players might encounter, as well as some "gun magazine" like reviews of a few of their wares. These reviews read just like an enthusiast magazine's review would and are enjoyable to read as well as introducing new equipment that can be more interesting than, say, a stock "TL-9 AutoPistol".

Curiously, after the end of the gazette on page 55, you have another 20 or so pages of equipment, vehicles and a brand new Traveller career ("Average Joe" - the career for those guys who only get credited as "Office worker #2", "Taxi Driver", "Well Dressed Executive" or "Pretty Waitress" in a movie). I guess this was some material that was too good to leave out, but didn't fit well in the format?

Either way, it's some fun stuff, and the more advanced "stunner" treatment and the ability to pimp your "Agus Familia Viajando" grav car with a rear spoiler and cup holders to protect your rich, neocorinthian leather seats (brought to you by Eridani Aerospace, of course!) holds a lot of potential to spice up a Terra/Sol Traveller game, or any other Traveller game for that matter.

I hope Terra/Sol does more of these Gazettes.

Six Guns Gauss Weapons
by Mysterious B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/11/2011 14:32:14

A gauss weapon uses electro-magnetic forces to throw a tiny needle shaped projectile at very high velocities into the target. This is not 26 pages of illustrations of different weapons and small statistical blocks – these are full-fledged descriptions of different classes of gauss weapons and their accompanying ammunition rounds. Complementing the illustrations is a chatty commentary that breaks some of the technical details into more enjoyable reading. This supplement would lend a hand in helping a player and referee flush out some of the particulars. Nevertheless, there is a kicker (and speaking as a Referee, a very nice one), not all of the equipment herein is necessarily “enhanced” than the non-specific versions. Without a doubt, a number of items have noteworthy negative aspects or are customized to a particular objective and poor for other applications. On the other hand, what they all have in common they are more appealing than the basic rulebook version.

Into the Star
by Michael G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/08/2010 13:45:16

This is one of the few solo adventures i have ever seen put out for Traveller, and for that it gets a thumbs up. I found it fairly easy to follow along, although the plot was a little on the thin side. The introductory material to the Twilight Sector was useful.

Somnium Mundus
by Michael G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/08/2010 13:35:31

I really couldnt get into this adventure at any level, and just never really found a use for it in my adventures. That being said, while on the generic side, there is certainly nothing wrong with this adventure.

Ancient Trails: So It Begins
by Michael G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/08/2010 13:34:20

A bit on the generic side for my tastes, but nothing is actually wrong with the adventure itself. You cant beat the price. I would suggest this to anyone trying to get a campaign started and no ideas on how to get it off the ground. The price certainly helps.

Somnium Mundus: Tileset Pack
by Michael G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/08/2010 13:11:10

A useful tileset pack, although i cant say i was all that impressed with the adventure itself. I'm not a huge fan of "dark" adventures, although i know some can turn that way. Again, useful tileset.

Ancient Trails: So It Begins - Audio Enhancements
by Michael G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/08/2010 12:37:09

For a free item, this was kind of a neat departure from the norm. I liked the idea of audio enhancements, although to be honest i wish there had been more to this.

That being said, the idea is still pretty cool.

Ancient Trails: So It Begins
by Jim C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/02/2010 23:57:28

Some of the characters and organisations in this scenario are interesting, but it all feels amazingly generic, presenting a series of jobs out of the big list of SF plots that end up with the PCs handed some alien gewgaw that appears to be the hook for later adventures. There's little actively wrong with it, apart from some slips of editing.

Somnium Mundus: Tileset Pack
by Erathoniel W. [Featured Reviewer] Date Added: 06/30/2010 16:29:33

These tiles look nice. That's my (arguably not so) professional opinion there.

If you ever need a simple science fiction background, or if you run Somnium Mundus, these can be a good place to start.

Hey, they're free, so if you won't hurt for the 50 megabytes later, get it.

ANOTHER downloadable winner for me! this is a fine introductory scenario for solo play, and could be modified for use with players and a GM
