Traveller Cardboard Heroes

[madhopper50]

Need some help. Searching the internet I can't find anywhere to obtain "Traveller Cardboard Heroes".

I think all of those I have came with the various deckplans or GM screen.

Thanks! Ordered some Traveller Character PDFs from Drivethru RPG.

There was one sheet included with the Traveller GM screen and one sheet included in each of the six Traveller Deck Plans. Additionally there were three classic sets from the early 80's, but they were a smaller size (~15mm, vs the 25mm of later Cardboard Heroes) and the artwork wasn't as good as the later sets.

There's also a set of classic Sci-Fi Cardboard Heroes which hasn't been re-released and a set included in the Klingon Gunboat deck plan. Any of the modern Cardboard Heroes would work fine in Traveller as well.

Thanks! Just ordered the GT GM screen.

That also comes with the Brubek's Tavern deckplan, which I've gotten some good use out of for brawls.

One of the reasons I ordered it, that and the eBay seller gave me a discount. New for $12.

You can get PDFs of all six Deck Plans and the GM Screen from Far Future Enterprises. There are three CD-Roms you can order for $35 apiece. Disc 2 has all the ship stuff (Deck Plans, Starships, Starports, and a few other books). Disc 1 & 2 both have copies of the main book and the GM Screen. The JTAS archive contains a complete archive of all the SJGames JTAS webzine. And they do a 4 for 3 sale, if you buy four discs one of them will be free via Paypal refund.

Thanks! The CD-Roms might be my next purchase. Might have to get GURPS Basic first, just for all the skills not listed in GURPS Traveller.
