Book or CD?

[DonM]

Note that the PDF's we're releasing in the private forum are not messed up in any way...

It is my hope that Marc will not put too much security on the T5 PDFs. As annoyed as I am by pirates, it's my personal belief that anyone wanting to play Traveller regularly will want a nice book to show off.

I admit I like the CD. The convenience of printing off specific sections for my GM's & NPC notebooks. And I've been able to replace many of the deckplans I sold off with resized deckplans from the CD.

I picked up Mongoose Traveller with my Barnes & Noble discount & a gift card recently. It has some interesting stuff that I really liked, but I wouldn't have paid full price.

I like the flexibility of a CD
but, ultimately, I would prefer to have anything in print if at all possible
(although, I jsut cant imagine what 1,000 pages of Traveller would look like,
better not get annoyed and throw it at your players:.)

Take T4: Core rules were about 200 pages. Add 8 100 page T4 supplements. Stack about 5" thick.

MT totalled ~1000 pages (excluding DGP stuff).

OK, that's a thoroughly big book then:.)
