Traveller Supplement 7: Traders and Gunboats
Traveller Supplement 7: Traders and Gunboats is a role-playing game supplement for "Traveller" published by Game Designers' Workshop in 1980. Contents. "Traders and Gunboats" supplies descriptions and deck plans for eight major ship types and four small craft to be found in the Imperium. It also gives explanations for deck-plan symbology, the strength of bulkheads and walls, and how various portals work. It includes a series of starship encounter tables that provide over sixty possible results. Reception. In the April 1981 edition of "The Space Gamer" (Issue No. 38), William A. Barton  recommended the supplement, saying, ""Traders & Gunboats""s assets far outweigh its few liabilities, making it a work of value to all "Traveller"ites." In the July 1981 edition of "Dragon" (Issue 51), Tony Watson concurred, stating, "Once again, GDW has produced an interesting and useful supplement for "Traveller" that should add considerably to any campaign." In the October-November 1981 edition of White Dwarf (Issue No. 27), Robert McMahon called the supplement "a useful addition to the "Traveller" library."
