A GREAT introductory Traveller rules set. Brilliant streamlining job on this. Concise but with just enough detail to be interesting.

Two suggestions at this point:

1. Include a couple of Support Weapons in the Weapon Lists as examples. Plasma Gun and Rocket Launcher would be my suggestions.

2. I couldn't find a tonnage/ammo equivalent for missiles or torpedo magazines. I know it's in Cepheus Deluxe but perhaps a note here:

Missiles cost Cr1200 each, torpedoes Cr5,000 each. A missile rack holds 3 missiles, a torpedo launcher holds one. Each ton of magazine space can accommodate 12 missles or 6 torpedos.

A very effective edit of the core Cepheus rules set. I appreciated many of the choices made to streamline game play, particularly regarding the skill list, vehicle combat, and ship design. It's very close to how I've played Traveller since the LBBs. Would recommend.

Exilium is an excellent revision/facelift on the In Flames Mini 6 game. The text and background are greatly clarified and the two supplements (Chimera and Uplifts) are integrated into the core book. In addition, new color artwork and an excellent layout greatly enhance the visual appeal and accessiblity of the material. The premise is that of Transcended Minds being forced to rejoin the meatworld as penance for crimes commited in their paradise. Exiled to a solar system with several human colonies as well as uplifted alien species, the PCs must occupy host bodies and hunt for other exiled minds who have become destructive or rapacious during their sojourn in this reality. The game uses the Open Mini6 System which is a brilliant light cinematic system, perfect for space opera adventures (since it originated with WEG Star Wars RPG). It also adds excellent rules for cybernetics, robotics, as well as creating and playing uplifted aliens. Well worth checking out.
