Traveller Book 6: Scouts

Traveller Book 6: Scouts is a 1983 role-playing game supplement for Traveller published by Game Designers' Workshop.

Contents

Scouts deals with expanded character generation systems for Traveller's Scout Service, and an expanded world generation system.[1]

Reception

Tony Watson reviewed Scouts in Ares Magazine #17 and commented that "Scouts adds much to Scout characters and especially to the generation of star systems and worlds. These latter rules and great detail to star systems, and a correspondingly greater cost in time and effort to create subsectors. Its value then, depends on how anxious the referee is to include the new information in his campaign."[2]

Andy Slack reviewed Scouts for White Dwarf #53, giving the supplement 7/10 overall and stated that it was "Not as clear as earlier Traveller materials. If you want to generate or GM detailed Traveller star-systems, and have a lot of time to spare, this is the item for you. If you simply want expanded scout characters, then egotism aside Star Patrol is similar and cheaper."[1]

Stephen Nutt reviewed Scouts, Book 6 for Imagine magazine, and stated that "It is hard to say that GDW have done more than half succeed with this one."[3]
