[Freelance Traveller] How should I classify this?
Jeff Zeitlin 17 Jun 2025 23:07 UTC
Those of you who read the magazine know that I've "broken down" reviews
into four subgroups: the main reviews, for actual Traveller and Cepheus
Engine products; Other People's Toys, for role-playing products not
Traveller/Cepheus Engine but which offer ideas that can be stolen ... er,
borrowed ... for use in your own Traveller; Off the Table, for non-game
material that may inspire ideas for use in your Traveller, or perhaps which
resonate with Traveller for one reason or another; and LinkLooks, which is
for websites that have significant relevance to Traveller.
The day before yesterday, I received the Product from a Kickstarter that I
had backed. This Product is a game, very thematically tied to Traveller,
and created with the permission of the owner, but it is separate from
Traveller the RPG.
After playtesting it at a previous TravellerCON/USA, I committed to
reviewing it in its final form. This final form is, in fact, the Product.
The question: It's not quite a perfect match for either the main reviews or
for Other People's Toys, and as it's a game, I don't see it fitting into
Off the Table. But I'm not sure where to put it, so I'm asking the
Collective Mind here.
Suggestions?
