The Travellers Handbook - High Adventure in the Far Future!
Traveller20 (T20) combines the popular d20 game mechanics with the most fully-realized science-fiction game setting ever - Marc Millers award-winning Traveller!
Presented in a single volume¸ these rules allow you to go anywhere¸ do anything...
Be who you want to be: T20 presents 16 character classes¸ from brash Ace Pilots to studious Academics; from tough Mercenaries to streetwise Merchants. Characters can develop a wide range of skills and feats¸ from Combat Engineering to Astrogation. They can even study the powers of the mind as a psionic adept!
Go where you like: Design worlds and whole star systems with the system generation rules; populate them with human and alien societies¸ animal life and natural hazards. The rules cover technology levels¸ social organization and the unpleasant consequences of hazards like vacuum exposure or radiation burns.
Meet Interesting People: Strange aliens and stranger humans are detailed as player and NPC races. Racial stats are presented¸ along with typical motivations and psychology for the various alien species. Aliens include the Vargr¸ Hivers¸ Wanderers and KKree¸ while the many human cultures include the Solomani¸ Vilani¸ Zhodani and Luriani people.
Fight deadly foes: The T20 combat system scales between starships¸ vehicles and personnel. Blast ships or ground targets with lasers and meson guns; battle it out with guns¸ grenades and hand weapons. Don powered armor or activate a nuclear damper for defense. T20 covers weapons ranging from crude clubs to gauss rifles and laser carbines¸ and even vehicle-mounted fusion guns.
Travel in style: Design¸ buy and operate a range of vehicles from steam locomotives to attack speeders. Trade among the stars aboard a Subsidized Merchant or captain a million-ton dreadnaught.
And theres more: The T20 system allows any style of science-fiction adventure to be created. The whole range of human (and alien) activities are covered: speculative trade¸ starship combat¸ carousing in starport taverns... if adventurers do it¸ its in here. The Travellers handbook also contains guidance on setting up and running a T20 game¸ awarding experience¸ and tailoring the campaign to the needs of the players. It also presents an introduction to the Official Traveller Universe¸ which will be detailed in forthcoming releases from QuikLink Interactive!
