Book 10: Cosmopolite
Civilisations stand and fall¸ not by might of arms¸ but by its cosmopolites - the ordinary Citizens and Scholars who make up most of the population. Book 10: Cosmopolite provides new options and possibilities for characters who have followed the Citizen or Scholar careers. Citizens and Scholars together are keepers of the flame of civilisation. With this book¸ your Citizen character will be able to build Networks¸ a web of Allies¸ Contacts and Patrons that can be called upon at any time¸ while Scholar characters can approach their own societies and fellowships for funding and resources accessible only to scientists. Your characters can now attend University or Medical School¸ and try a brand new career choice¸ the Teacher. You will learn how to continue your research¸ even while you travel the galaxy¸ publishing papers that push the boundaries of known science. The referee is provided with all the support material he will need for Citizens and Scholars¸ from organisations that can act as adventure hooks or Patrons¸ to scientific questions that have stumped Scholars across Known Space and are now available for players to tackle! Far from being simple white or blue collar workers¸ or unassuming librarian types¸ Book 10: Cosmopolite contains everything you need to make Citizens and Scholars among the most exciting careers to play in Traveller.
