Native plant and animal life was deadly to humans and soil had to be brought in by the ton to grow imported crops. Tidal bores were scoured by half-mile tall waves twice a day. Earthquakes and volcanic activity were constant hazards. Then, the Kafers came. The inhabitants of Aurore always took a special pride in their home - it was the most spectacularly beautiful and at the same time least hospitable of the garden planets in the French Arm. For years it was also the end of the line in a colonial arm that terminated at planetless Arcturus, a dull ruby in Auroreâs night sky. The Kafers were first encountered at Arcturus, and then their invasion fleet and invading armies struck Aurore. The battle was close, but the major population centers held out. Now, the remaining Kafers need to be hunted down and rooted out. Kafer Dawn covers the campaign to mop up the Auroran âhotbackâ from the viewpoint of several adventurers who come to join the fight against mankindâs most bitter foe. Despite over a year of warfare, little is known of the Kafers, and so Kafer Dawn is a voyage of discovery as well. Are the Kafers necessarily our implacable enemies, or can better understanding bring peace to both species? Kafer Dawn gradually introduces the players to Kafers over the course of four new separate adventures (all included in this booklet) which form a mini-campaign. From the time the players ground ship on Aurore as raw recruits to the time they participate in the final drive against the last major groupings of Kafers in the hotback, they will gradually learn more and more about their violent, complex enemy.…

What are the Hivers' plans for the future of humanity? There are those who say that nothing takes place in charted space without the Hivers having anticipated it, planned it, shaped it, brought it into being by patient, careful manipulation. The Hivers are the manipulators -- emotionless, perfectly rational beings possessed of infinite patience and subtlety. If interstellar history is a clock, the Hivers are the ones who wind it; the passage of time itself does their bidding. "What do you get when you cross a golden retriever with a box of razor blades? How is it that the most efficient, merciless killers in the universe don't have a mean bone in their bodies? If violence is natural, guileless, and innocent, does that mean one need not take it so personally? The Ithklur are the most feared warriors known to man. To an Ithklur, Vargr plunder is like a walk in the park; Aslan warrior spirit is the babbling of a toothless child. Other races make such a fuss over violence -- why not just do it and enjoy yourself? To the Hivers, the Ithklur are their trained, elite shock troops, lovingly perfected by millenia of manipulation and social engineering. No finer tool has ever been fashioned. But as far as the Ithklur are concerned, they have the Hivers just where they want them. Who wants to be a boring taxi driver anyway? If the Hivers want to pretend they're in charge, what does it really hurt, so long as they leave the Ithklur alone.…

Product Description: With a universe of data to keep track of, travelers trying to work their way up to powerful rulers, corporate magnates or star admirals have got their work cut out for them.

There are the quakes and volcanos, the inedible (and often hostile) life forms, and the peculiar orbital mechanics which made half the planet too hot for human habitation.

Aurore is one of the least hospitable worlds in the French Arms, and at the same time one of the most spectacularly beautiful worlds to known human space. Aurore is a world Eathlike enough that humans can live and work in it's temperate zone without being forced to resort to cumbersomesurvival gear or protective suits. Only slightly smaller than Earth, Aurore is largly a vast and unexplored wilderness; the regions which have been thoroughly explored and developed around each of Aurore's three human colonies are relatively small, and much of the rest of the surface has been only superficially surveyed and mapped. The fact that Aurore is actually a large satelite of a superjovian gas giant has created extremes of climate and surface conditions which present Traveller: 2300 players with unique and interesting problems.…

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description: The cat-and-mouse battle beneath the seas between submarines â" or between submarines and their surface quarry- is the epitome of modern naval combat. The blanket of ocean conceals subs, but at the same time hides their quarry, and always interferes with the use of weapons. SUB FORMS is published to provide materials to make playing Harpoon easier. It does so by providing prepared submarine data sheets for use with the game. Prepared SUB FORMS: Using Harpoon, any group of players can prepare and play almost any naval situation using the information in the Data Annex Book. Subs which are not rated in Annex A can be evaluated using Annex Q. But filling out ship reference sheets can take time. Instead, ship reference sheets complete with information taken from the annexes are provided in this book. In the process of preparing the forms, it was determined that more information could be provided due to savings in space from typesetting. As a result, each sheet was crafted to provide as much game information as possible. A new format was established (designated Harpoon form 10) to include statistics, rules references, notes, and other information. For better visual references, both a side view, and an overhead deck plan view of the sub was incorporated into the form. Hit boxes to allow easy damage check-off were also included. The final product was intended to facilitate fast, easy-to-play Harpoon situations. Harpoon is Required: In order to use SUB FORMS and to play Harpoon scenarios with SUB FORMS, a copy of the Harpoon modern naval wargame rules is required.…

Infernoâs surface is dotted with mines, factories and weather stations built to withstand the seismic conditions. But around Nyotekunduâs gas giant, Cocito, operates a huge OMS (orbital mining station) the Andrew Carnegie.

The entire orbital mining station is mapped and described in detail, down to personnel and equipment. The player characters are given the opportunity to train on board the Carnegie, providing them with more skills and preparing them to meet an incredible nascent threat to the station and crew as a few desperate employees attempt to grapple with the leavings of an ancient alien being.
