Title: Free Traveller Module
Post by: jeff37923 on June 20, 2015, 04:53:27 AM
Ships of Clement Sector 1: The Kiviat is available for free download from Drivethru RPG. (http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/119750/Ships-of-Clement-Sector-1-Kiviat) Complements of Gypsy Knight Games for use with Mongoose Traveller in honor of Father's Day. The free download will only be for Saturday, June 20th.

The Kiviat is a 600 ton Patrol Corvette and the module comes complete with deckplans and stats nestled in some decent fluff text. It is good for those times when you need a small warship for your tabletop SFRPG. The damn thing is free, so go and download it already!

Looks like it just describes a spaceship. Any actual adventure or plot seeds?

You had me at "deck plans" and "free."  At first glance, the art looks good and there's just enough operational/historical fluff.

Thanks for pointing this out.

The Kiviat looks like a space penis, but I am certainly not one to look a free space penis in the mouth.

But the rest of you? Probably a bunch of free space penis mouth lookers.

At the very least. They cream their pants over a new edition a game they already own in multiple versions, so looking a free space penis in its mouth is the natural next step on the road to the next new edition of the same old game is out again, this time with even more hit points and healing!

Way back in the 1970s there was a Saturday Night Live sketch about that.

Here's the transcript of the SNL sketch!

Sadly, my google-fu for the video has failed me.

Nothing that can't be fixed with a sharpie and nimble fingers.  In the privacy of your own home, of course.

Can we just go ahead and rename this thread to "space penis?"  Truth in advertising, and all that.

Don't worry, you can still by the miniatures and make your own fleet of them (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-83ODLQcNWaM/UkmvgLWy9XI/AAAAAAAAA4U/Y_bfCy8cZAA/s1600/100_9355.jpg).

I don't want to unnecessarily alarm anyone, but I urge that fleet to seek out a space doctor asap, and maybe reach out to any port at which they may have recently docked and update them on the diagnosis.

It's the responsible thing to do!

Those are some fugly ships. I would be afraid to touch them.

Good job to the painter, though.
