TNE-0311 World Tamer's Handbook

ADD TO WISHLIST >

To Build the future… to Dare greatly… to take one's Place in the arena…

<p.></p.> <p.></p.> <p.></p.> <p.></p.>Life takes against a grander tableau in the New Era. Without an omnipotent Imperium that has already imposed order n everything, the act of every man, woman and child looms larger, has a greater impact. And when even seemingly small actions have large results, imagine the sort of effect a person can have when daring greatly. The course of civilizations can be changed.

In the New Era, entire worlds have died or fallen back into barbarism. These worlds need peoples to come make them live again, and leaders to them back into the light. Such people need to have a variety of skills: they must be explorers, the must be builders, they must be leaders. They must have the courage to take on the power of a raw world and emerge victorious. These explorers, these builders, these leaders have a name. They are called World Tamers.

The World Tamer's Handbook brings to Traveller: The New Era a new arena in which to adventure: the ragged border of civilization, the realm of the unknown on a thousand worlds that do not know the light of civilization. World Tamer's Handbook provides material to create Survey campaigns in which characters push humanity's knowledge out into the Wilds, Bootstrap campaigns in which characters lift low-tech populations out of barbarism and Colony campaigns in which characters found and lead expeditions to repopulate entire worlds.

In order to do this, World Tamer's Handbook provides rules on colonial economics and infrastructure which allow players and referees alike to understand what makes a colony run, and what decisions need to be made to ensure success. These rules are not only useful for the campaigns in the book, but can ve used to flesh out societies in any Traveller: The New Era campaign or adventure.

In addition, expanded rules on world generation allows referees to create the details needed by players conducting detailed survey operations in advance of the colony transports.

Finally, additional design sequences expand on the information contained in Fire, Fusion & Steel to allow the design of black powder weapons, bow weapons an low-tech ground transportation.

A world can be a big, rough, wild place, but no world is too big, too rough or too wild for characters bold enough to be called world tamers.

Very detailed planet generation rules, as well as socio-economic "rules" for managing and running a colony. Also includes some large-scale combat rules, and several adventure seeds. Quite a buy! [...]

Rules for surveying a world, colonizing it, or bootstrapping it to a higher tech level - would be quite a lot for a single book. This book also provides TNE examples for colonization and bootstrapping - as well as star system design and even mass comba [...]

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.
