Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition. I would love to hear people sell me on 2nd edition Mongoose Traveller. I did get electronic downloads of Mongoose 1e, and one could probably adapt that.
Just from looking at the preview the layout, design, graphics, and polish is a lot better than the first edition of Traveller from Mongoose, but they still have a long ways to go.

Mongoose traveller 2e pdf download A brand new edition of Traveller is now available - based on the original but tweaked, finessed and updated through a massive months-long beta playtest by you, the players! Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition Pdf Free Download And Install A major gripe with some reviews is that the 2nd core rulebook does not contain any ship design system and that this will be included in High Guard.
While this shouldn't in principle be a major problem TNE also had no ship design system in the core book and indeed you had to buy a separate boxed game or IIRC wait years for the errata-laden Fire Fusion and Steel to get one it does mean that my interest in starting off the excellent Pirates of Drinax campaign using the new rules has rather dissipated in that the ship design rules have clearly changed so radically that I have no idea how the 1st edition ships included will actually operate as regards fuel consumption etc.
For example the players starter ship in Pirates of Drinax has 60 of its tons given up for fuel for one jump-2 at 40 tons and 4 weeks of power plant operation at 20 tons. But as far as I can see from the standard ships in second edition power plant fuel consumption in 2nd edition is radically lower - as low as 1 ton a month for a far trader - so the Drinaxi Harrier should presumably therefore have a much smaller fuel requirement and maybe ish tons freed up for other uses like extra cargo or extra staterooms to pack in more marines?
However absent the 2nd edition ship design rules there is no indication at all in the core 2nd edition rulebook what the power consumption ratio of a ship actually is and whatever it is it does not appear to be the same as 1st edition High Guard at least as far as I can see from the online SRD. There are also some obvious inconsistencies if not errata in the standard ships in the second edition corebook: The safari ship has a fuel requirement of 49 tons to allow a jump 2 at 40 tons and 4 weeks operation of a 7 ton power rated fusion plant However despite being also a ton jump-2 and thrust-1 ship with the same stated power requirements the far trader has a smaller 5 ton 75 rated power plant and only needs 41 tons of fuel.
Is this yet more of Mongoose's errata or is there some rationale for these figures? In terms of what you are prepared to pay, that is really a matter for you. You vote with your pocket, but Mongoose aren't obliged to set a lower price - and they have hit Silver already, so somebody is paying that amount. The corrections will all be updated in time with no extra cost as Mongoose always does. I don't really get the criticism, tbh. The content itself is terrific!
However that doesn't mean that this enormous price is justified. Mongoose are a business, who need to make profit. If they don't get their own overhead covered - and lets be clear the step up in graphical presentation for them would not come without a cost - they they'll not be able to keep making them.
If you don't want to pay the price of admission, then that is up to you. Yup I didn't, yet. For now I do not have the money to spend on this, even if I want it very-very much. In business you look on the market. And on the market it's one of the highest prices. Look at prices of their competitors e. Stars Without Number and you'll see. If it was something new, I doubt it would rise even to copper best seller. Well, personally I'm into Traveller not just because of the brand, but because it is the most fun sci-fi game out there.
I love the systems and the style - and this book is no exception. I've no doubt that Mongoose will be reading your comments and taking notes, but if their product is still selling and they are making their own accounts meet their ends, then this is the bottom line. Mongoose can, of course, charge what they feel like, and some people may want to splash the cash. In the meantime the pricing of the core PDFs has completely put me off exploring the 2nd Edition of Traveller. Perhaps it is an emotional reaction to the price point, which is rare for me.
There is a glut of other great SF games out there and coming, including Coriolis, Impulse Drive and Infinity and I will explore them instead. Bah, humph and grumble. Traveller is a great game. I only played the original back in the 80's. I have been looking to run a Traveller game for my group but not at this price point for a PDF. But that is just me. I think that much or close to that much is to expensive for a PDF of any size. I do have most of the original set of books and may actually use those to run a game.
Kromore is not just Sci Fi though and the game spans a 10, year plus history so you can play anything from fantasy to sci fi. If you don't get it then you're an idiot, it's not that hard to figure out.
Actually, I did get it and for all the gnashing of teeth and now, even personal attacks the truth is that people wouldn't be complaining if they didn't desperately want the product. I've got it and it rocks! David T. Mongoose Traveller version of Highguard book. This version plunges straight into Ship design ignoring naval careers, it does include power generation and consumption though making it more like classic traveller.
I especially liked the rules for [ Good product with lots of ships that characters can use to travel universe. David G. I have decided to break this review down into good, split, and problematic.
As a note: I just got done playing Pirates of Drinax, a friend refereed it for me, this is the perspective from which I have used High Guard the most. The Good [ Troels P. There is not much useful in this book.
I ended up not using it at all. Roy M. Excellent book overall. As with almost all Mongoose books, I find the organization a bit haphazard. It is sometimes hard to find what I am looking for in the book. My biggest complaint is that the pdf is locked in such a way that I am prevented from ad [ See All Ratings and Reviews.

Modiphius 2d Savage Worlds. Product Type. In other words, there's a problem with this deck plan Thank You Matt. Post by MongooseMatt » Thu Aug 18, am Hi guys, Okay, file reformatted and ready for download - hope you enjoy! The downloader seemed to take a long time to get to the point where it started uploading - it was just calculating the file size.
And now it's downloaded, all at once. The files open up in the preview window of Explorer. Extraction of the files is a dream. Finally, the individual files I sampled seem to open up without a hitch in Adobe Reader. No hitches or problems reported here. Edit: Though I was wondering if the reason why the zip was taking so long to download was because it was mostly loading deck plans of the Tigress Board moderator. Post by Reynard » Thu Aug 18, pm First try wouldn't download.
Second try gave a partial download. Third try was the charm. You have 31Mb in the description but it's closer to 45Mb. I assume something was added to the files. Unpacked and looking at a few, no display issues. They look good.
