[edit]Merchant Prince is a rulebook that details the merchant character class in four sections.[1]
Reception
[edit]Tony Watson reviewed Merchant Prince in The Space Gamer No. 76.[1] Watson commented that "If your campaign is geared toward merchant characters, this volume is worth looking at. But if you are not particularly interested in brief descriptions of the major trading companies in the GDW universe, already have the new character generation system from the special supplement to JTAS, and are satisfied with the current rules for interstellar trade, Merchant Prince may not be of much use to you. If you are interested in any of these topics, then Book 7 of Traveller is just what you're looking for."[1]
Terry McInnes reviewed Merchant Prince for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Merchant Prince is an excellent addition to the Traveller line. The book does an excellent job of showing by colorful examples just how the complex Merchant Prince systems work, a major plus. This book is for the many Traveller players who find much of their enjoyment as merchant characters pursuing the Almighty Credit through voyaging and speculation aboard their Free Traders."[2]
