The Traveller Adventure

Miller, Marc

"The progress of evolution on other worlds can create fantastic results. In the far trailing regions parsecs from the Imperium, on the world of Guaran, the beings who reached intelligence and ultimate domination of their world were six-limbed pseudo-starfish. On their homeworld, they created a culture based on cooperation, but which still accepted and respected the individual. When they reached space, they carried that culture with them, establishing a federation which now spans more than ten sectors. Early explorers were struck by the hive-like appearance of these aliens' cities; naturally they were called Hivers. The fact that the Hivers had no spoken language delayed recognition that there was no true hive relationship long enough for the name to stick. Hivers are aliens. They are a cooperative race, but they respect individualism. They live in nests, but can change to another nest any time they want. They abhor violence and war, but they won the only major war they have ever fought. They love their children, but allow most of their children to die before they are a year old. To understand them, and their place in the Traveller universe, this alien module is essential. This module allows Traveller players to be Hiver characters, to play adventures in the Hive Federation, and to learn more about the Hivers' culture..."

<p>When we got to Bremerhaven, we found that instead of going to America, we could ship out to the Persian Gulf and join the U.S. Central Command (the RDF, some still call it)."Contains: * A map of southern Iran.* Character generation tables for Americans (USMC, USN, and USAF), British, Iranians, Iraqis, and others.* An Order of Battle for the remaining forces in the area: U.S., Soviet, Iranian, Iraqi, Saudi, and the British, among others.* Details and specifications in Twilight: 2000 terms, of over 30 vehicles and weapons, including selected French, Israeli, British, German, and Brazilian equipment.* Short descriptions of the major personalities and organizations opposing each other in the Persian Gulf.* A mission resolution system, allowing referees to take their players on a variety of military missions, ranging from conventional patrol and escort missions to special operations deep behind the enemy lines.</p>

Airlords of the Ozarks is a game module for use with GDW's World War III role-playing game, Twilight: 2000. The story follows the adventures of the player characters in the rugged hills and forests of the Ozark Mountains in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri early in the year 2001. The players must infiltrate and gather information on New America, a bizarre right-wing organization determined to build an empire from the ashes of the United States. Among the things they will discover will be Operation Eaglestrike, a plot involving salvaged cruise missiles.

The LaFarge made its final call at a human port at Hochbaden over two. years ago, heading into the middle of the Kafer conflict - on Trilon company business. When they did not return no one was too surprised. They'd probably fallen victims of the war and that was that. But now a routine survey vessel has picked up survivors from the crew of the LaFarge, and they tell an incredible story of treks across the ice fields of a glaciated world, stories of a strange alien race on the verge of civilization.

"In 2181 a French exploratory squadron discovered a garden world in the Beta Canum Venaticorum system. Within about 25 years, three ESA nations (France, Britain, and Bavaria) had established colonies there. Over the next eight decades all three colonies cooperated in an attempt to adapt the planet to human uses. The Bavarians began extensive mining of their continent's mineral resources. The British created an extensive transportation network between the colonies. France built their colony a beanstalk. Then came Earth's War of German Reunification. The colonies on Beta Canum began to experience rising tides of nationalism as they jockeyed for power by the judicious use of the world's resources. But the most valued commodity on Beta Canum is the safe, regular access to orbit granted by the beanstalk. The French have found themselves holding the reins of power on Beta Canum. Tension continues to grow as they seek to consolidate their position and the British and Germans seek to undermine it. The French control the beanstalk. But a Bavarian built it - and he thinks he's found a problem. Opportunities are ripe for troubleshooters looking for work."
