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: They can basically read any data they want from servers they're authorized on.
gollark: Why do people think "well, 9127409124 other bots may already have a music feature, but MINE will be special and people will use it".
gollark: Not THAT many compared to stuff like music.
gollark: Oh, my bot has a "telephone" system using webhooks.
gollark: SPUDNET is used in a lot of places where people want to not bother with that much and just shove secured communications between some endpoints.
