Webster, Darlene Pekul, David Trampier, and David Sutherland.Īnd that's a wrap! The highlight for me was Moore's article on paladins, which was also selected for Best of Dragon Vol 3. Interior artist credits include Kenneth Rahman, Gail Gierahn, Phil Foglio, Roger Raupp, Mason Jones, Todd Lockwood, Tom Mason, Paul Jaquays, Bruce Whitefield, Tom Wham, J. Susan Collins painted this month's striking cover. First, Triplanetary by GDW is "marvellously well-conceived," while Traders & Gunboats, also by GDW, is "an interesting and useful supplement for Traveller." We also have Ley Sector by Judges Guild, which contains "imaginative encounter charts." Finally, Tethys and Fenris by FASA are "good candidates" for Traveller referees looking for new ship designs. "Dragon's Augury" reviews four science fiction games this month. I wish they'd provided art for the latter! We have the troll-like Dark Dweller by Mark Cummings and the Piranha Bat by David Dougher. "Dragon's Bestiary" describes two new monsters for D&D.
TRAVELLER RPG LARGE CARGO CONTAINERS SERIES
"The Electric Eye" by Mark Herro returns, this time with a survey asking what readers would like to see in future columns-surely not a good sign! Meanwhile, "The Rasmussen Files" presents a series of college courses and other training that Top Secret agents can undertake to increase their skills. And in "Leoumnd's Tiny Hut," Len Lakofka presents a flavorful system for zero-level characters is this the first such system published for Dungeons & Dragons? On to the regular columns! Glen Rahman brings us another edition of "Minarian Legends," this time describing the story of Schardenzar, a young man who overcame many misfortunes to achieve immortal fame. Schweitzer was (and is) a prolific author of speculative fiction. The final feature, "A part of the game" by Darrell Schweitzer, is a piece of atmospheric, though rather ponderous, fiction. As we all know, paladins no longer need to be lawful good in the modern game! I told the players something had to change, and Elric sadly got the chop. It so happened that our lawful good paladin, Elric, was good pals with Zyx, the party's chaotic evil magic-user. I remember that these articles profoundly influenced my game when I first read them, especially Moore's contention that paladins would not associate with evil characters. Bezold are both articles prescribing limits around the behavior of paladins. Moore and "Thou shalt play this way" by Robert J. Meanwhile, "A new breed of bug" by Ben Crowell provides an additional type of unit for Metagaming's Chitin.

"The Worshippers of Ratar" is a new cult for RuneQuest, written by Eric Robinson. Lenox appears to have done little else in the field of RPGs. New playable races were rare in the pages of Dragon, perhaps because Gygax explicitly discouraged them. "The Winged Folk" by William Lenox presents a new demi-human race, and it is well-executed with lots of great detail. We have a lot of other features in this packed issue. The art is fun, and the game seems fondly remembered by many people. This month's special attraction is a Tom Wham game called Search for the Emperor's Treasure. And finally, "Masers & Cameras" are two new fit-out options for your ship. "Planet parameters" gives additional stats for new planets. "In defense of computers" justifies the high cost of computers in the game. We now have 6,500 National Guard and DPS troopers on the border to help secure the. "New ideas for old ships" is a set of ship customization tables. Greg Abbott said on Wednesday that the State of Texas is taking immediate action to stem the flow of illegal immigrants crossing the US-Mexico border, including building a wall, deploying National Guard troops and using shipping containers to create a temporary barrier to block border-jumpers. Finally, we have four pieces by Paul Montgomery Crabaugh. Designer Marc Miller has a tongue-in-cheek article called "The Miller Milk Bottle," which describes the use of milk bottles in the Traveller universe. "Plotting a course for choosy players" by Jeff Swycaffer is a variant character generation system that gives players more choice over skill selection. They are good, though I would have liked a more extensive selection of special abilities.

The primary way they differ from other transports is that they deal with large cargo containers. They are often contracted directly to companies with most or all their capacity used for moving that company's products. They often operate over well known, long establish routes. Moore contains a stack of alien generation tables. Bulk cargo haulers focus on transporting containerized freight. So Mohan wants to assure folks that Dragon Publishing isn't just copying its rivals! There are seven Traveller articles in all here, and we'll look at each one. Just after they finished putting together this month's magazine, they received the latest issue of The Space Gamer and discovered that it was also doing a big Traveller special. Editor Kim Mohan kicks off the issue with a sort of apology.
