This product uses the Mongoose Traveller Character Generation method and provides University and Grad school options and 14 new careers. I must admit I am not comfortable with the slave career and some will see more use than others. Som,e like cosmonaut, Enforcer and Port Authority I see of more use as npc's. Finally there are 57 pregen npc's.

Overall an excellent and useful product at a reasonable price.

More crunchy career choices from the friendly folks at Spica Publications. The alternative academic career paths and new skills are much appreciated, and the Puppetteer and Mystic Warrior paths will help with Hiver and Ithklur character generation, given that Mongoose has rather badly dropped the ball on developing the trailing major and minor races. This volume gives the career events for the NPCs, making an already great suppliment even better!

Career Book 2 from Spica Publishing continues and expands upon the material presented in their first career book. The new careers present some exciting options, including University, Slave, Prisoner and Puppeteer, which makes a great option for Hiver players. The book is advertised mainly on the strength of the careers included, which is fine, but the rules for alternative skill selection and a new injury table offer just as much variety and novelty to the game as do the careers.

Another excellent supplement from Spica Publishing, and this time it is even more than just a collection of (14 !) very interesting and useful careers. Just browsing the careers gave me a couple of new ideas for Traveller campaigns - ever had your player charac- ters start a campaign as (probably escaped or escaping) slaves ?

And I especially like the two alternatives for the background skills, the (pre-) career op- tions for University and Graduate School and the two new "psycho skills", Manipulation and Psychohistory, perfect for any (preferably evil ...) mastermind characters in a set- ting's dark corners.

Finally, the many very good illustrations add a nice touch and help to spark the imagina- tion.

Since I really cannot imagine a Traveller campaign that could not be expanded or impro- ved with some or all of the material in this supplement, in my view it deserves all five stars.
