Star Trader
 |
A Solo Trading Game for Traveller
Star Trader has recently been updated and rewritten and incorporated into SOLO¸ which allows solo roleplaying for ANY type of Traveller campaign or play style. Please have a look at SOLO.
The aim of Star Trader is to travel from world to world buying cargoes as cheaply as possible then selling them elsewhere for as high a price as possible. But this is Traveller¸ not 'fantasy stocks and shares' and the great appeal of solo gaming is the interaction with Traveller's high technology¸ its starships¸ exotic planets and interesting NPCs.
The Star Trader game fills the player's journey through the cosmos with these events and encounters¸ putting him into predicaments that his character will have to resolve before the game can continue. To some extent the encounters are sets and backdrops to the trading game¸ but frequent events force the character to respond and the player will need to refer to the task and combat rules in order to tackle these situations. Of course¸ it's this interaction with the Traveller setting that gets our juices flowing.
Star Trader includes:
- A flowchart of activities
- Options to decrease the accounting & book-keeping
- Planetary Event Tables
- Jumpspace Event Tables
- Detailed Ship Encounter Tables
- Fast-play Space Combat Rules (NEW!)
- Rules for trading without a starship
- Advice for creating dynamic & interesting ship crews
- Fast-play Mission Resolution Rules
- Lots of excuses for adventure!
Never be bored again...
