Merchant Class Ships Deck Plans (Unpunched) + Over 5,000 Pages of Traveller RPG data (trans-spatially linked), an Outstanding Traveller Map Utility, Traveller Adventures, & Much More!!!

Extremely Rare 1982 FASA, GDW approved for Traveller Ship Plans! - Long Out of Print!!!

Merchant Class Ships is complete with all game components in new condition except for the two 16-page booklets which have only minor flaws and one of the two counter sheets is an excellently done copy. The three 21.5"x33" double-sided deck plans sheets (shown at length in the SuperSize Images) are unmarked and in new condition. They appear never to have been back folded. Half of the 112 full color counters are unpunched apart from 2 counters on the passengers sheet (which have fallen out). The other counter sheet is a excellently done copy and these will be cut prior to shipping. The large and very flimsy folder\box has has a number of issues. The bottom flaps are no longer glued together, the box has been flattened and there are a number of very noticeable creases, though the art (on both sides) retains most of its original appeal (see Enlargeable Pictures). It is still usable as a folder for the plans. The box will be shipped flattened will both save on shipping and preserve it in its current condition. The deck plans will lie flat in a separate compartment so they will arrive in their current condition as well. A great opportunity to save on shipping costs by picking up several Traveller books and miniatures out of the listings in the Traveller section of my eBay store. Please email if there is a GDW Traveller book you would like to see listed. I have most in stock, but it may take quite a while to get to them all.

The MegaExtras included in this listing span over 5,000 pages of Traveller History, Corrections, Errata, Data on the Spinward Marches, and Much More!!! There are over 100 pages alone on important dates in Traveller history along with 1000s of pages of data on the Spinward Marches! Corrections to many of the Classic Traveller books, plus a mammoth amount of errata for other editions, such as MegaTraveller and Traveller New Era is included. The "much more" includes two outstanding mapping generators of the Traveller Universe (click on an area of interest and increase the magnification to see the local map!), a design-your-own counters utility, and a plethora of ship stats. Great for the beginner and the experienced player with dozens of Traveller adventures (introductory and otherwise) plus handouts to acquaint newcomers with the basics. All of this is accessible from the Traveller WebGuide Version 4.0, which will be emailed upon shipment of your purchase! The trans-spatial organic nature of the WebGuide means the materials will both grow and evolve through time. To receive the WebGuide by email please include your email address with your payment or send it by eBay email. Orders without an email address will have a printed copy of the WebGuide added to the package.
