Xboat No. 2
Welcome to Xboat! This is a science fiction fanzine¸ with most of the material suggested by fans who love Traveller. It's about discussion¸ example¸ and bold ideas. Great Content... Each issue is at least 24 half-pages (5.5 x 8.5)¸ and has content such as: * Starships profiled and illustrated to inspire. * Equipment. Various types¸ ready to use. * Characters. Detailed for use in your games. * Scenarios. Situations to drop your players into... * Aliens. Strange new peoples to visit and interact with... or play one as a character! * Beasts. New¸ interesting¸ and perhaps dangerous creatures await the intrepid explorer. * Robots. Yes! Robots are first-class members of the Traveller game now....And Beautiful Artwork Illustration is half of inspiration. My fantastic backers made it possible to jam in a generous helping of quality art into every issue. I have leveraged the experienced and capable Ian Stead¸ Robert Pearce¸ Tim Osborne¸ and Brian Stearns for beautifully themed artwork. Ian's starships are iconic¸ and Robert's characters and creatures are inspired. Tim's aliens are simply fantastic. Last but not least¸ Brian is admired for his work with Zaon¸ and his starship art is sleek and classy.
