Book 9: Pirates

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The first new release for Classic Traveller is here!

Embark on daring exploits and leave your mark on the stars! Whether leading a crew of daring corsairs or battling ruthless raiders, this book provides new rules and tools for pirate campaigns: 

•    Advanced character generation for creating infamous pirate crews.
•    New corsair starship designs and acquisition rules.
•    Privateering mechanics covering the economics of piracy.
•    A ready-to-play border subsector ripe for plunder and adventure.

For Classic Traveller, the term Books has a special meaning, presenting additional rules on specific subjects, expanding on Traveller's basic concepts. Books run 48 to 56 pages and may be used independently or together, but all require the basic rules sets.

PURCHASER
A very nice addition to the Classic rules. Laid out like the original books, with little art but that is perfectly inline with the originals. In fact this is a love letter to the classic rules. Rules include a new "Pirate Career" with special rules appropriate to this type of career. Also includes guidance on the formation and running of pirate bands. Includes a few typical pirate vessels with floor plans, and even an entire subsector set up to be a pirate habitat and hunting ground. It was worth every penny to this Classic Trav' fan.

You can get printed copies from our website. We did not want to use POD for this as we spent some time trying to match/get close to the feel of materials from the original LBBs.

Hope that helps!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
