Xboat No. 5
![]() |
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 24 half-pages (5.5 x 8.5). Xboat No. 5 includes these articles:
* A short adventure by Chad Russell
* The Heavy Tracked ATC¸ profiled and illustrated to inspire.
* An article on building small space stations¸ thanks to Traveller5's ship design toolset; comes with an example with deckplan.
* A process for creating alien plantlife.
* An index to all Xboat issues¸ plus notes on how Xboat was produced.
...and more.
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¸ and Tim Osborne for beautifully themed artwork. Ian's starships are iconic¸ and Robert's deckplans are excellent. Tim's artwork is clever and inspired.
