A review of Mongoose Publishing’s Traveller Book 1, Mercenary, by Bryan Steele

MGT Mercenary is a solid, though not spectacular, addition to the Traveller line. While it has its good points, several flaws keep it from shining: the equipment section, while somewhat modernized, still does not compare with CT’s LBB4, and many of the items are either poorly thought out (Plate armor will NOT have as low of a rating as 3 against anything except firearms, and the ATGT, a TL-15 vehicle, needs to be Grav instead of tracked

Traveller is old, even older than some of its players. I started out with Traveller in 1988 short after leaving the Norwegian Navy.
