I have been working extensivly on a group of documents, as time permits.
Book 0 Getting Started Guide
Book 1 Character Creation
Book 2 Equipment
Book 3 Combat
Book 4 Worlds
Book 5 Encounters
Book 6 Economics
Book 7 Space Travel
Book 8 Equipment Design
Book 9 Vehicle Design
Book A Starship Design
Book B Robot Design
Book C Small Arms Design
Book D Corporations
Book E Governments And Nobility
Book F Military Organizations
Each booklet is about 64-80 pages in size. Right now, most are far too large and I am spending alot of time either rewriting stuff or trimming out stuff that is not neccessary.
Unfortunately, for you guys, the game mechanics are aimed at our play groups needs and are not using any of the other Traveller mechanics.
Since I am targeting alot of new players in our area, I am making it very general. (an apt comment from robject when he did a first read).
I have decided not to include the magic rules that one of the playgroups had developed as they are still new and not ready for primetime.
So, the idea of a simple starting document that can be extended by specific to task books, is somthing that I not only recomend, that is what I am doing.
I heartily recommend it as, the T20 rules, preatty as it is, was too big and intimidating to get anyone interested to play.
best regards
Dalton
