Good day everyone,
You may or may have not heard by now that a new edition of Mongoose Traveller is coming. We at JBE have been apart of it since playtest for months and we LOVE the changes. The game is still recognizable to fans of the previous edition with a number of tweaks that really enhance the experience. As soon as the playtest document drops, you should check it out. It is well worth your time and attention.
So where does that leave JBE. Well first off, as soon as we are allowed, we will be publishing 2e Traveller books. In the meantime, we will continue to release subsectors in the Foreven Worlds setting. We do not believe there will be much, if any, problems with converting from the current version to the next version so all of these will be equally useful in the new edition.
I will admit that I have been busier with Pathfinder this year than I expected when I was planning products for this year. To make up for that, we expect to be releasing a subsector between once a month to once every two months next year. We also have a number of other supplements (adventures, careers, and much more) in the works that we put on hold because of the new edition playtest and plan to finish them up once the new edition is released.
Then there’s the d66 Compendium 2 that we have been working on for over a year now. This is something we hope to have ready for release shortly after we are allowed to publish for the new edition. While the first d66 Compendium was heavily focused on names of stuff, we want this to have more ideas in it than the previous book (Reasons Why Your Ally Can’t Help, Gossip About a Ruler). Just like the previous Compendium, this book will include lists that are not available for sale (Engineering Technobabble, Cultural Faux Pas Not in the Ship’s Library).
We hope that you will be along with JBE in the new edition. We expect a wild and fun ride.

Inside its 57 pages, Deadly Delves: To Claw the Surface features a number of new and modified monsters that you can use in your games, in this adventure or in one you create yourself. One of those monsters is the spring spark, this little ball of fuss can best be described as an electric tribble with feet.
By itself it does not pose much of a danger. When this static electricity hacky sack groups up with a bunch of others of its kind, it can give your players quite a shock.

Scratch For Sunlight. Gasp For Air.
The brave and the foolhardy flock to the dwarven village of Granitetop Mountain to make their fortunes escorting caravans and clearing mineshafts of monsters. When a cave-in pulls your adventurers into a massive fissure and strands them deep beneath the mountain’s surface with no obvious egress, they must use all of their wits and cunning to make it out alive. But survival is the only law in this deep and untamed wilderness, and adventurers are just as good as the next meal to the creatures that dwell in the darkness. Will the adventurers ever breathe the fresh air of the surface again—or will their lives be forfeit in these dangerous, maddening depths?
To Claw the Surface is an exciting adventure module in Jon Brazer Enterprises’ Deadly Delves series, and is compatible with the best-selling Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. This adventure is designed to challenge four to five 1st-level PCs like no other content has to date. Inside this 57-page volume, you’ll find:

I know I am a bit late in finishing the previews for Book of Heroic Races: Advanced Samsarans, but I wanted to make sure that these were posted. The artwork within Advanced Samsarans is our most inclusive artwork yet. With transgender people so rarely represented in artwork, we made sure to include a transman and transwoman in our artwork. Also we noticed a distinct lack of heroic females that are overweight so we thought we would take the opportunity to have an incredibly intelligent woman as a hero as well. And for those that love beefcake men, we have a muscular man for eye candy.
We hope you enjoy these images as much as we do.

All week long we are showing off the samsaran race and racial options in the Book of Heroic Races: Advanced Samsarans. Monday we shared with you the racial traits. Yesterday we shared the Timeless Warden archetype. Today we are sharing with you some of the spells that are well known to samsarans.
Before we share with you some of the spell inside, there is one aspect of samsarans that we have not delved too deep into as of yet when discussing this race. When a samsaran is reborn, the gender of the previous incarnation has no influence of the gender of this life. However familiar habits of previous incarnations can show through each generation. So it is hardly uncommon for a samsaran who was male for the past several generations to be born biologically a woman but dresses and acts in a way consistent with her male previous incarnations, or vice versa. This can be overtly obvious or non-existent. How your character chooses to identify his or her gender, regardless of the character’s birth, is up to you. With that in mind, check out these spells.
Beneath the Flesh
School transmutation (polymorph); Level alchemist/investigator 1, arcanist/sorcerer/wizard 1, bard/skald 1, cleric/oracle/warpriest 1, inquisitor 1, paladin 1, shaman 1, witch 1
Casting Time 1 round
Components V, S
Range touch
Target humanoid touched
Duration 1 hour/level
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance no
The touched humanoid’s features alter, revealing what is in the creature’s soul. A humanoid that brings wanton death and destruction might appear more gaunt, almost skeletal, while an honest person that fights for peace and justice would become brighter, almost shining, taking on an angelic appearance. The target may switch genders or take on the physical characteristics of a different race, without changing size, racial abilities or the target’s racial subtype. The eyes, being the windows to the soul, do not alter. This spell also gives the target a +4 enhancement bonus to Diplomacy or Intimidate checks for the duration
Past-Life Resurgence
School divination; Level alchemist/investigator 2, bard/skald 2, cleric/oracle/warpriest 2, druid/hunter 2, shaman 2, witch 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range touch
Target creature touched
Duration 10 minutes/level
Saving Throw Will (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
You allow the target to call upon the knowledge of a past life for a brief period of time. They gain a +4 insight bonus to all Knowledge and Profession checks for the duration of the spell.
Speak with Past Lives
School divination; Level arcanist/sorcerer/wizard 3, cleric/oracle/warpriest 3
Casting Time 10 minutes
Components V,S,F (a relic from a previous life)
Target self
Duration 24 hours
The caster communes with his past lives, gaining a general sense of how his activities will go (as an augury spell) in the next 24 hours.
In addition, for the duration of the spell, the caster gains a +2 competence bonus on all Knowledge skill checks and can make such checks untrained. He may also apply a +10 competence bonus to any single skill check during the spell’s duration, but doing so automatically ends the spell.
