Pick it up on a sale, as I think USD $50 was a bit much, but it's still a great campaign. It's flexible enough to run solo as a Referee, and with a group it's great fun - no two campaigns are going to play out the same way at the endgame or in between. Consider the adventures more 'guidelines' than firm things that MUST happen before the Finale. The Drinaxian Companion is also I would say recommended as it fleshes out things more fully. The Harrier Class commerce raider is a very interesting ship to give a group of new players, as it has just enough cargo space to tempt them to trade, and not enough that raiding isn't typically a better option. I'd like some more concrete rules on simulating pirate activity in a sector in a future supplement, but this is an excellent way to do it.

I would warn first time referees that this is a campaign that requires a LOT of backend work from them. Spreadsheets are useful, and High Guard is a practical necessity too. Converting captured merchant ships into viable pirate vessels is not cheap either, but laundering ships captured from opposing pirates into 'legitimate traders' is an interesting way to make some steady credits to fund just about anything - an S-Class scout converted to being a passenger and cargo transport can cover the cost of running the Harrier for players in the background. Use maps (Travellermap) to help them plot out decisions and draw trade routes to help them visualize what the best places to target are... and where the heat will come down on them if they stick around too long. You know you're doing things right when they're going off on long adventures from vague promptings of world descriptions you've given them. The Reach Adventures series of books has ideas to take from, especially players who see a major pirate base in Oghma nearby to Drinax and want to deal with them. Makergod was a good investment for my group. Shadows of Sindal is also a good way to make a mini-arc for them to follow and includes some fun toys and NPC ideas to play with for you as a Referee.

For a new game master wanting to get into Traveller, I would give this a 4/5. It certainly gives you a bunch of ideas to play with and encourages you to get into other material. With High Guard and the core rulebook, you can do tons of things. For the experienced Referee, if you don't have this already it's a 5/5.

what's not to like Pirates, Piracy and more Pirates. A huge sandbox campaign that has kept me going for over 3 years. OK Covid mainly responsible for that, but look forward to finishibng one day.

Hands down the best campaign I have ever seen put together for Traveller, or for any RPG for that matter. 10 very playable, open ended adventures along with sourcebooks for a sandbox campaign that players can take in a mutitude of directions. Highly recommend for those looking for a high powered Traveller campaign.

A really beautiful product and as a Traveller fan since the CT days, this is probably one of the finest products I have seen put out for the game. The books are nicely organized with Book 1 featuring the bulk of the campaign, including 10 adventures that you can conduct in any order you like (minus "Finale," which based on its namesake, you can imagine must come last), Book 2 featuring the Trojan Reach sector and the Aslan, and Book 3 featuring the ships of the Trojan Reach. All three give an aspiring referee all she or he would need to run a really engaging and exciting campaign in which the players get to be what so many have dreamed: space pirates!

The art is mostly of high quality and the tech, animals, starship deck plans, and other supporting materials are both nicely arranged and useful. I haven't run the entire campaign yet, but the players seem to be having a blast so far. I have read all the adventures and they are mostly excellent with a few that stand out head and shoulders above the rest.

I would give this item 4 1/2 stars if I could. The only drawback is a number of typos and inconsistencies that crept through the editing process, though Mongoose did allow the community to provide comments between the initial release of the PDFs and the print copies.

Purchased it, and it look like a pretty interesting campaign. two problems stand out and I hope the publisher can correct them.

• many typos and small errors throughout. Some of the typos are in the introduction. So it probably needs one more copy edit.

• the PDFs are not optimized at all, so they are huge files that render slowly. Makes for slow reading and difficult navigation.

This is just jaw droppingly awesome. A mega-campaign, in full colour glory with a huge amount of player-centered flexibility, and lots of opportunity for plunder and adventure. Easy to get into. The bonus here is there is also a full sector sourcebook, and information about Aslan characters, along with another book detailing a load of new spacecraft designs. Simply a maginificant package in an excellent new era for Traveller.
