Where were all of the others? All the people who'd taught me¸ watched over me¸ helped me live this long? Some were still alive¸ still whole¸ but not enough of them. Not nearly enough. On over a dozen worlds¸ I'd left behind the friends and pieces of friends until it was finally my turn to stand up and give a toast¸ because there wasn't anybody here who's lasted this long. "If you live long enough¸" I remembered someone saying¸ "You lose everything."
I raised a chipped shite Navy coffee mug.
"To absent friends."
In what was once a neglected backwater of the Third Imperium¸ a dozen small worlds have banded together to make a new beginning. With a motley collection of patched up antique ships and a handful of Marines and commandos¸ they have set out to reconquer an empire and rebuild interstellar civilization. Their struggle will pit them repeatedly against seemingly hopeless odds¸ and every step forward along the road to their final goal will be purchased with their blood.
For the men and women of the Reformation Coalition¸ the roard to the new future is a Path of Tears.
Path of Tears: The Star Viking Sourcebook establishes the standard for campaign backgrounds in Traveller: The New Era. Space may be infinitely large¸ containing billions of habitable worlds¸ but each of those worlds is unique¸ and home to innumerable potential adventures. Space is not interesting because it contains thousands of cookie-cutter planets; space is fascinating because it contains thousands of unique¸ multifaceted worlds. Because of this philosophy¸ Path of Tears and following New Era campaign support materials will provide an effectively inexhaustible adventure resource.
Path of Tears: The Star Viking Sourcebook is a detailed¸ comprehensive and intriguing exploration of how much diversity and adventure possibility can be in a small group of planets. It brings the Reformation Coalition alive¸ and will permanently raise your Traveller campaign to new heights of excitement.
First in the Reformation Coalition Manual series.
