Press Release: QuikLink Interactive

For Immediate Release: May 1st 2002

QuikLink Interactive Launches range of Traveller/d20 supplements

The first volume in the Traveller?s Aide series from QuikLink Interactive (QLI), Personal Weapons of Charted Space is now on sale. The Traveller?s Aide series is a range of PDF-format supplements intended to support QLI?s T20 (Traveller for d20) game.

T20 maintains all the unique flavour of the original science-fiction RPG, Classic Traveller, but presents new game mechanics to allow d20 adventuring in the Traveller universe. All Traveller?s Aide releases are fully compatible with both T20 and Classic Traveller, and may also be useful to players of other d20 games.

Personal Weapons presents data on civilian and paramilitary weapons in use in the Third Imperium, along with information on Imperial arms firms, weapons permits and rules for concealing weapons from scanning devices. All rules and weapons stats are presented for both T20 and Classic Traveller.

QLI plans to follow up this first release with two more Traveller?s Aides in rapid succession, these being a collection of short fiction set in the Traveller universe and a sourcebook dealing with ground vehicles at various levels of technology. Other volumes will follow at monthly to six-week intervals, priced at $5 each. Subscription options allow discounted purchase of 6 or 12 issues selected from releases over the next 24 months. Additionally, the 12-issue subscription includes a free print-medium ?best-of? volume published at the end of each year.

The Traveller20 rules themselves are in final edit and will go to press during May. They will be followed by a range of print sourcebooks detailing the Traveller universe, Grand Adventures, and other releases.

It's very odd releasing supplements to a game before the main rules.

BTW, does that mean the main t20 book doesn't have info on weapons? That's also rather odd.

I agree it is a bit unusual. It just happened that the first PDF was completed first. With the delay in getting T20 out and combined with the fact it is d20 material and has material for the Classic Traveller rules, we thought it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and release the PDF line now.

The upcoming T20 main book has a full range of basic weapons from archaic to futuristic, along with rules for vehicle, starship, and world design. This PDF just goes beyond those basics and offers variant models along with new weapons that do not appear in the core book. The basic weapons were included to ensure the PDF's usefulness for other d20 games and CT.
