The Pirates of Drinax

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Possibly the best campaign ever published…

A truly massive Traveller sandbox, the Pirates of Drinax is packed with enough adventures and source material to keep even the most dedicated group going for years!

In the Pirates of Drinax, the Travellers play a band of adventurers entrusted by the King of Drinax with a letter of marque, permitting them to prey on ‘illegal’ trade within the borders of the vanished kingdom. The King hopes this piracy will give him the leverage he needs to restore Drinax to its former glory, and intends for the Travellers to win back all the planets lost over the last two centuries – but the King’s plans are just the starting point for this campaign.

Once the Travellers have their letter of marque and ship, it’s up to them what to do next. Will they stay loyal to their patron and help restore Drinax? Will they turn rogue and create their own kingdom? Will they be heroes or monsters, pirates or privateers? Will they make their fortune amid the pitiless stars, or will the cold depths of the Trojan Reach be their grave?

The Pirates if Drinax contains three books and a poster:

* Book 1: The Pirates of Drinax Campaign
* Book 2: The Trojan Reach
* Book 3: Ships of the Reach
* A giant 24” x 40” double-sided poster map

The three books that form The Pirates of Drinax contain a full campaign, the Trojan Reach sector, rules and source material introducing the ferocious but noble Aslan, and many new ships unique to the Reach, along with a giant poster map featuring the Trojan Reach sector, the Floating Palace of Drinax, and the Harrier-class commerce raider.

The Pirates of Drinax truly has everything you need to run an action-packed Traveller campaign.

You don't need any books other than the core rulebook. The Drinaxian Companion expands nicely on the (already vast) amount of information in this product and gives a number of additional scenarios in the area. Central Supply Catalogue is probably the most desirable expansion book (everyone wants more gear options), with High Guard coming in second, but you can happily play without either. You definitely don't need Aliens of Charted Space vol 1, since practically all the information on the Aslan in that book is from book 2 of Pirates of Drinax, and looking at the preview for High Guard - Aslan suggests that a lot of its material came from book 2 as well.

Are there any plans to make these PDFs more tablet-friendly? Turning a page means waiting several seconds for each page to render. At this price there’s no excuse for it.

If it's still an issue (either .pdf optimisation and/or copy editing) I will happily volunteer to do either, gratis, having just returned to an old flame, as it were, in Traveller. Very pleased with what I've seen/read by Mongoose thus far, as well!

If you are new to Traveller is this good campaign to start with?

I would say so. This set includes three books, IIRC, including all of the history that you could want. IT also has a lot of tools for helping ou to run the game. Sidequests out the wazoo. Only the first and last chapters need to be played in sequence.
Note that the history in the Aslan book is pretty heavy, but you won't need to read all that if you don't want.

This is an absolutely amazing campaign. I'm playing in it currently, and I can't recommend it enough.

We did away with the "radiological" trait in weapons though, and I recommend everybody else do the same. It's a badly through out rule, and doesn't fit Traveller at all.

Question: There exist a number of extra-Drinax content pdfs on DriveThru, are those included in this deluxe pack or do I have to buy those separately?

I'm not clear on what this offer is for:

3 Hardback books & poster in a slipcase
or
Watermarked PDF

If it is the latter PLEASE change the description or you're going to get a lot of upset people!

Best Regards,
Eric.

I think the physical set comes with that, but if you buy it here you get just the PDF, with all of that content in digital form. The buy option indicates that it's only in PDF form.

Looking good from what I've seen so far. Just one quick thing, book 2, the torjan reach, page 20. The Floating Palance of King Oleb. Seems to be missing the map markers for the location of the places listed?

Also just purchased and a beautiful product. But to add to the above comment, I noticed that while the new file has MOST of the numbers identifying locations, it is missing #6 Starport Control (book 2, page 20). My guess it is the grey bit west of the Starport Docks.

Perhaps I'm mislooking, but where are the stats for the Harrier hiding? The deck plans are on the poster image, but I can't seem to locate the actual stats and load-out listing of the ship?

Ok, please ignore. Obviously I'm blind as a bat, as there are 6 pages in book 2 dedicated to the ship... Well, do I feel embarrassed now^^;)>

Why is this listed as a Core Rule Book? It sounds like Traveller is required to play this campaign.

Where is it listed as a core rule book? It's a Traveller campaign. It requires a Traveller core rulebook (or maybe the Starter Box, instead) to play it.

When filtering by only viewing "Core Rulebook", this book was listed. This appears to have been fixed since I originally posted about it.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
