This ship has become a home base for the characters in my Royal Interdiction Service campaign. Large enough for them to spread out and meet the necessary NPCs, but small enought to manage and have the characters now well enough to play quickly. They participate as crew members in situations which demand a larger ship with greater facilities and then branch off for situations which can be accomplished in a smaller unit. I did modify this to provide an external dock for the free Picket Ship in this series which is my character's personal ship. Free so each can a have a copy and provide mods that they want to add.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Modular nature allowed me to make the mods I needed for my campaign. Great artwork and production values. Shuttlecraft ideas and notes.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: A ship this big could have used a couple more pages of descriptions. At times things felt just a little on the brief side.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Starships. They can be home, headquarters, transport, reward, weapon, etc. They are part and parcel of the Space RPG and often difficult for a GM to develop enough of, so this line is wonderful.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Layout, concept. Luxury crusise ships are a plus.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The lack of detailed exteriors for front, back and bottom, but that is nitpicking. :)<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Excellent large ship designed to use multiple decks connected by elevators, this is a great example of what you can do with the e-Future tile sets. Now I would really like to see something that uses the Battle Damaged tiles!<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Great, logical construction to the deck plans; eg the command deck is not accessible directly from the passenger deck. Good description of the ship plus good adventure hooks. Plus of course an extra tile, a very nice lounge with a window directly onto space. I'd love to be sitting on one of those couches I can tell you!<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing - well worth every cent. I hope that RA continue to release these as they are a fantastic resource.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Like the others it ok but I would love to see some different shapes to the rooms. I know it might be hard to fit the ships together in different ways. Other than that its another top ship.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

"Something loved is always beautiful"

If the Norwegian proverb holds true, then this awkward-looking starship is bound to become the most beautiful ship many d20 Future GMs and players will ever lay eyes on ?

If you buy only one Future: Starship deckplan from Ronin Arts, buy this one. Everything Ronin Arts and Skeleton Key Games do right in their Future: Starship series is crystalised and nigh-perfected in this Horizon Traveler deckplan package. Attention to detail, useful support material ? it's all here ? plus a level of flexibility which will allow GMs to fit the Horizon Traveler to their campaign and its needs, rather than the other way around.

The Horizon Traveler is presented as a frontier merchant vessel, but with very little work on the part of the GM, the starship can easily serve as an exploratory vessel, a military patrol vessel, a police starship, an intelligence-service vessel or a derelict vessel for players to explore and salvage.

Starting d20 Future characters can even come aboard the Horizon Traveler as passengers, and end up staying on as crew ? even significant crew ? should GMs feel inclined to create that story.

If you're a GM looking to start a d20 future campaign, and you're not sure where to begin, buy this product. Sure, the exterior of the Horizon Traveler may seem ugly at first glance, but believe me, ugly is only hull deep.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Everything.

Four decks of flexible, easily-adaptable starfaring fun, all at a low price. What's not to like? <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing.

But again, I must caution newcomers to the series that these deckplans are not tabletop-miniature sized. If you want to lay out the Horizon Traveler to scale on your gaming table, you're going to have to buy some of the printable starship e-tile sets from Skeleton Key games (also available at RPGNow). This particularly large deckplan uses pieces from many of the e-tile sets, specifically: Star Patrol, Star Chasers, Star Command, Star Freighter, and the Battle Damaged Starship set.

The good news is, the Skeleton Key starship tiles are first-rate, and can be used with the other Future: Starship deckplans from Ronin Arts.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
