This is an excellent supplement for Traveller or any other science fiction RPG. It consists of lists and descriptions of the various types of androids used in ‘Frontier Space’.
It is essentially an NPC list of the various models of androids.
There are very few grammar/spelling errors and this is greatly appreciated.
I would have liked rules on player character androids, but that’s pretty easy to house rule.
Also there are a couple of ambiguities. For example, several androids are mentioned as having photographic memories but it doesn’t explicitly state that ALL androids have photographic memories or video recording capability. Again this can be house-ruled but I can see an argument for both yes and no.
Also, one android is mentioned as having armor, but it doesn’t state the armor type.
There are also a bunch of skills given to androids that have no definitions. These may be in other ‘Frontier Space’ products or not. They’re pretty easy to figure out, but a formal definition would be nice.
All told, this is pretty useful out of the box and I’ll be using it myself in games.
Even ‘free’ RPG supplements take time to read and evaluate, but I thought it worth mentioning that this is definitely worth your time and money!
Thanks!
