Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Nomads of the World-Ocean in Space Gamer No. 65.[1] Barton commented that "Overall, if you don't mind the duplication of theme from the earlier work, Nomads could be a worthwhile buy if you're interested in a waterworld and don't have the time or inclination to work it out on your own, or are simply interested in the possibilities of sea hunts with hunterfoil-type vessels."[1]

Andy Slack reviewed Adventure 9: Nomads of the World-Ocean for White Dwarf #49, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "If the adventurers can be properly guided into the scenario, it is superb stuff and will last up to a game year or so. The Brothers Keith have their faults, but they can make a world live like no-one else."[2]

Jim Bambra reviewed Adventure 9 – Nomads of the World Ocean for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Nomads is an excellent piece of work: it has intrigue, action, role-playing and a wealth of background. This world has been well developed; there is none of the sketchiness common to many Traveller worlds."[3]

Reviews
gollark: (this is because humans cannot reasoning under uncertainty)
gollark: It's fiiiiiiiine, I rounded the chances of them doing so off to zero.
gollark: Oh, and they still didn't get round to explaining the creepiness thing.
gollark: They can't kill me because that would be mean.
gollark: Anyway, we hit *those* limits ages ago, so we achieve our high clocks by extending the processors out into arbitrarily many orthogonal dimensions, ignoring the "speed of light", and patterning the logic gates directly onto underlying physical laws.
