Traveller Book 2: High Guard (Traveller Sci-Fi Roleplaying)

Good addition to the Traveller universe with rules for Navy characters, and ship creation.

Awesome!

After a rather disappointing Mercenary book, I was pleasantly surprised by a masterful game supplement. The character generation rules for Navy characters are probably a little too hard (it is really hard to survive for long), but they are most certainly fun. Building a ship is fun. Massive starship combats are possible, though it's really a backdrop for smaller-scale action. The prose is no-nonsense, and the book is not exactly an enjoyable read, but it is packed. I can read something else for pleasure and pull what I need from this when I need it.Best of all, my book had some typos in it. So Mongoose is going to send me a new book, plus another rulebook to make up for the "inconvenience." I hope I can find some more Traveller books with typos! Great customer service.

Also known as " Watch a trillion credits go up in a blaze".

So at last Traveller is back. Mongoose has done a fantastic job with it. The previous incarnations of Traveller have all had a distinct feeling and this one is no different.This book really expands the characters that go through the Naval character generation providing much more detail in character creation.Flicking through the book you see lots of ship plans and details, ship creation rule and options from small to capital ships, expanded space combat rules as well as the character creation.At 154 pages its a great read. Naval character types added/expanded are crewman, support, engineering, gunnery, flight, pilot, command, naval intelligence, naval engineering, high command.What are you waiting for - buy it now!

Great addition to the traveller line
