We thought you’d like a sneak-peek at some of the art for our two up-coming products: the Outer Veil sourcebook, andCareer Book 3!

The Outer Veil Sourcebook

First off, here’s David Redington’s fantastic cover image for the Outer Veil sourcebook, by Omer Golan-Joel.

The Outer Veil is a complete game universe for the Traveller SF RPG. Set in the not-so-distant future, this sourcebook will allow players and Referees to adventure in the area of space close to Earth at a time when mankind is taking its first steps out into the galaxy! The Outer Veil sourcebook includes detailed background history and information, new setting-specific careers, starships and small craft statistics and deckplans, and a complete sector of space close to Earth! The book also includes ‘Brotherhood & Justice’, a complete, ready to play introductory adventure , rules for belting and asteroid mining and patrons for use in adventures! Interior art is also by David Redington.

Career Book 3

Career Book 3 (CB3) by Richard Hazlewood is the third and final book in Spica Publishing’s highly successful Career Book series!  CB3 includes alternative Mustering Out Benefit tables for all the careers in the Traveller Main Book and Career Books 1, 2 and 3, 14 new careers for your Traveller game and 54 pre-generated characters.

Nemesis Class Pursuit Ship @ DTRPG

That’s it, folks! All of the relevant files for the Nemesis Class Pursuit Ship book and deckplan are up at DTRPG, ready and waiting for 0000 hours 12 April 2009!

Welcome to the Spica Publishing Blog.

Hello everyone!

Nemesis Class Pursuit Ship Book (NCPS)
We are now only 15 days away from the launch of the (even if I do say so myself!) highly excellent Nemesis Class Pursuit Ship book and PDF on 13 April 2009.

The pre-order period ends 2400 hours (BST) 12 April 2009, so make sure you get your order in by then! Remember, all pre-order customers will receive a free copy of the PDF from DTRPG.com and, as an added bonus, pre-order customers will now also receive a free copy of the Nemesis deckplan PDF! Bonus!

Career Book 2 (CB2)
CB2 is already underway and the writing is ticking along nicely. We’re hoping to have CB2 out in April 2009, so watch this space!

Allies, Contacts, Enemies and Rivals (ACER) Book
ACER has taken a bit of a back-seat due to the NCPS book, but is still on the cards for release in the next couple of months. Packed with NPCs for you Traveller game, it will be a useful resource for when Referees’ just don’t have time to roll up characters. We’re especially pleased with some of the concepts that have gone into this book, which we know will add extra “frakkin’ ay!” to the book!

Career Book 1 Overhaul for Second Edition (CB1)
Our first and most popular and successful title, CB1 is currently undergoing a major overhaul, including a revised cover as well as adjusted previous content and the addition of some new content. There were a series of minor issues (spelling mistakes, mainly) in the original CB1 that we’ve eliminated and we’ve also improved the format and layout of our unique Character Profile system, so now all NPCs in the book are formatted in the new style (which, incidentally, is the format in use for NPCs in the NCPS book).

CB1 2ed will be re-released as soon as the overhaul has been completed. Spica Publishing is willing to offer a second pre-order print run of CB1 2ed if there’s enough interest.
