The Traveller role-playing game has been through many incarnations over the years, which is a tribute to the vitality of this game setting. Next to Dungeons & Dragons, Traveller is probably one of the oldest surviving role playing games. Many voices and many visions can be seen throughout the various versions of this game. If you like science fiction role-playing, surely there is a setting here for you somewhere.

Even today, Far Future Enterprises is releasing new Traveller RPG material.

Classic Traveller (1977 - 1986)

For many years, Traveller was the science fiction counterpart to D&D, at least in terms of popularity. Like its fantasy twin, Traveller was originally without an attached "Campaign World," though the background setting of the Imperium accreted gradually over time. Classic Traveller benefitted from an innovative, yet simple rules system.
There was adventure for everyone: Mercenaries, Idle Rich, Diplomats, Spies... But I think something particularly novel about Traveller was its introduction of mercantile adventuring. A traditional campaign of Traveller could consist of operating a trade starship profitably, with occasional excitement on the side. At a time when most RPGs consisted of slaying dungeon monsters, Traveller took gaming to a higher level.

The Traveller Adventure
The companion volume to The Traveller Book, containing a linked collection of adventures forming a ready-made campaign in the Spinward Marches.
-Wayne
"When the crew of the merchant vessel 'March Harrier' befriends a wolf-like alien Vargr in the underground city of Leedor, they have no reason to suspect that they are beginning a quest for the secret of a jeweled alien ornament... a quest that will take them to an asteroid mining settlement, to frontier trading stations, and to dozens of exotic worlds. But the ornament is intended for more then mere decoration and the adventuring crew is soon marked by the extra-legal security apparatus of the giant Tukera Lines megacorporation. The crew and their Vargr companion need every skill at their disposal to discover the true secret of the ornament. .

The giant Campaign book includes:

* Spinward Marches map and overview.
* Aramis Subsector Map and data.
* Several Planetary maps with background information, encounter tables and area maps.
* Deck plans of the "March Harrier" Subsidized Merchant.
* Ship Directory of the different types of starships in operation in the Aramis subsector

Traveller Deluxe Edition [BOX SET]

The 1983 reprint deleted the original 3 Little Black Books, and replaced them with the Rules Booklet (64 pages) and Charts and Tables (24 pages) found in the Traveller Starter box. Also, there was a 'What's in the Box' sheet, and an 'Additional Rules' booklet (8 pages) not shown in photo [thanks to <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON> for pointing this out]

The contents are otherwise unchanged, though the box lid has slight changes in graphics.

-Wayne

"Deluxe Traveller is designed as a newcomer's introduction to role-playing and to Traveller. It includes the Basic Traveller set of three 48-page books (Books 1, 2, and 3), just like the separate boxed Basic Traveller set. In addition, it contains the following materials:
Book 0, An Introduction To Traveller, covers basic details about role-playing in general, and Traveller in particular. Book 0 discusses many role-playing concepts for the beginning player and referee; it helps guide you into the realm of science-fiction role-playing.
Introductory Adventure, The Imperial Fringe, is a complete adventure for Traveller. All of the basic preparation is pregenerated, and the adventure can be begun once the referee reads through the books.
The Spinward Marches Map is a full four color, 17" x 22" map of a stellar subsector which is already the subject of several Traveller adventures. The Introductory Adventure is set in the Spinward Marches."

Tarsus: World Beyond The Frontier [BOX SET]

"The xboat message finally caught up with you. After months in transit across the parsecs, the letter has arrived — to say that your father is in trouble, needs your help, needs you home.

Home is Tarsus, a colonial world beyond the frontiers of the Imperium. Its environment ¡s tolerable enough around the equator; many locations are even suitable for agriculture. But toward the poles, temperatures range from -50° to +75° C. in the course of each local ninety-day year. No one visits those uninhabitable wastes. As you read the letter, memories of your homeworld's sprawling ranches, impassable tanglewalds, high mountain peaks, and scattered farms seem dim after your many years away. But the call of family is strong, and now you are homeward bound.

The fierce war which raged through this sector is now over, and troops are being mustered out. A band of loyal companions, veterans like yourself, has decided to accompany you. Some of them are in search of adventure, others seek wealth or power. You will need their skills and experience in your dealings with the unknown trouble you will face on Tarsus.

When a game takes in the entire universe it's easy to forget how large and complex even a single world can be. Tarsus is a demonstration of how much scope for adventure one planet, described in detail, can provide.

Included in this Module for Starter Traveller, in addition to the descriptions and details, are adventures for player-characters to undertake, but they by no means exhaust the possibilities of the background contained in this module.

Tarsus, World Beyond the Frontier, is an adventure module for Starter Traveller. The module is usable with any Traveller rules set. Players must have a copy of the Traveller rules in order to use this module.

Design: Marc W. Miller and Loren K. Wiseman Art Direction: Paul R. Banner and Chris A. Purcell

This box contains the following game components: * World Map of Tarsus * Subsector Map of District 268 * Detail Map of the Tanglewald * Twelve Character Cards * World Data Reference Book * Referee Scenario Sheets"

-Wayne
"Terran canines, genetically manipulated to intelligence and transferred to another world by the mysterious and enigmatic civilization called the Ancients.

The players must translate and interpret the document in order to solve the puzzle (an annotated translation is included for the benefit of those referees who are not fluent in Arrghoun).

Zhodani - Traveller Alien Module 4
"In a culture where psionics is an accepted talent, available to all with high enough potential, the very fabric of society is changed. Those with the talent are naturally the elite; those without are the proletariat. Such a society can naturally evolve to oppress the masses. But a psionic society also allows perfect communication, and can produce a better society for everyone. The Zhodani, humans who discovered and adopted psionics early in their history, had both choices, and took a little of each. The result is a psionic society where everyone is happy and content, because psionic reeducation ensures the discontent are found and shown the errors of their ways.
Zhodani, Traveller Alien Module 4, describes in detail this alien race, its homeworld, and its starfaring society.
This Alien Module includes —
• Zhodani History and Culture: Detailed essays on the nature of the Zhodani, their culture, their behavior, and their society.

Droyne - Traveller Alien Module 5
"Reptilian aliens with the potential to rule the entire galaxy. We know because they did some 300,000 years ago. Now, they seem content to farm the fields of their few planets and to maintain a much lower profile. Are they biding their time? Do they plan to again rule every planet they can see? Or is their some reason why they have retreated to their few worlds?
The Droyne are known to be the descendants of the Ancients, a powerful race that dominated all of known space thousands of years ago, and then destroyed itself in one final war.

Solomani - Traveller Alien Module 6
"The Ancients visited Terra millennia ago and carried some of Earth's humans off to the stars. The Solomani are the ones who were left behind; they continued to evolve under perfect conditions—on the world where their ancestors were born.
When the Solomani finally invented star drive, they burst out to find most of the worlds already claimed, but they took them anyway.

Hivers - Traveller Alien Module 7
"The progress of evolution on other worlds can create fantastic results. In the far trailing regions parsecs from the Imperium, on the world of Guaran, the beings who reached intelligence and ultimate domination of their world were six-limbed pseudo-starfish. On their homeworld, they created a culture based on cooperation, but which still accepted and respected the individual. When they reached space, they carried that culture with them, establishing a federation which now spans more than ten sectors.
Early explorers were struck by the hive-like appearance of these aliens' cities; naturally they were called Hivers. The fact that the Hivers had no spoken language delayed recognition that there was no true hive relationship long enough for the name to stick.
Hivers are aliens. They are a cooperative race, but they respect individualism. They live in nests, but can change to another nest any time they want. They abhor violence and war, but they won the only major war they have ever fought. They love their children, but allow most of their children to die before they are a year old.
To understand them, and their place in the Traveller universe, this alien module is essential. This module allows Traveller players to be Hiver characters, to play adventures in the Hive Federation, and to learn more about the Hivers' culture.
This Alien Module includes—
• Hiver Society, Psychology, and History: Detailed essays on the alien society of the Hivers, their individual psychology, and the history of the race, from its origins to the present time.
• Hiver Character Generation: Special tables handle the specific details of Hiver character advancement. Hiver character types include leaders, merchants, story-tellers, explorers, and manipulators.
• Advanced Character Generation: Character and skill tables for Merchant Prince and High Guard (you must have the Merchant Prince and High Guard booklets to make full use of them) allow generation of Hiver characters.
• Hiver World Generation; Rules for generation of Hiver worlds within the
Hive Federation.
• Hiver Encounters: Patrons and random encounter lists for use in the Hive Federation.
• Standard Starships: Standard designs for Hiver military and commercial starships, including the ubiquitous Embassy Ship.
• And an Adventure - A band of adventurers find a Hiver patron who is willing to finance an operation using their skills. But, as with all Hivers, there is more below the surface than is first apparent."

Darrians - Traveller Alien Module 8
"What makes a small, backwater confederation so important to the sprawling empires that surround it? Why does the Imperium court this minor client state while the Zhodani Consulate refuses to attack them directly? The answer lies in the distant past when the single world of Darrian succeeded in producing stellar flares in its own star and thus stumbled on the secret of the star trigger. Unfortunately for them, the flares devastated their civilization, and they took centuries to rebuild. But when faced with Zhodani aggression, the Darrians dug out the old technology and staged a demonstration of their star trigger. What aggressor can continue in the face of a threat to their home suns?
Darrian has since lived in a state of uneasy peace with its neighbors. They may argue about minor matters, but no one dares antagonize Darrian on major matters; no one dares risk their own star to the anger of the owners of the star trigger.
This alien module for Traveller allows players and referees to adventure within the Darrian Confederation, use Darrian players against the background of Darrian society, and learn more about Darrian culture and high technology. This Alien Module Includes:
• Darrian History and Culture.
Complete details of the initial settlement of the Darrian homeworld, its later discovery by the Solomani, and the expansion of Darrian into space.
• Darrian Character Generation.
Special tables allow generation of Darrian characters which include the Navy, Army, Special Arm, Nobles, Merchants, and Academics.
• Advanced Character Generation.
Character and skill tables for High Guard are included (you must have High Guard before you can use them).
• Darrian Word Generation.
Details of the Darrian language and tables for the random generation of Darrian words.
• And an Adventure. A group of travellers are selected by a kindly old gentleman to help him in his researches on Darrian, in the Darrian system, and even beyond into the Darrian Confederation."

Alien Realms: Eight Excursions Beyond Human Space
"The Third Imperium, teeming with life and activity, is the source of countless adventures. However, outside the Imperium there exist worlds untouched by human hands. Aliens have shaped these worlds, worlds where exotic adventures can be had—where a completely new type of science fiction adventure prevails.

Alien Realms is an adventure module created especially for the player who has enjoyed the Traveller Aliens Modules. Eight complete scenarios are presented, with exciting new adventuring material for Zhodani, Asian, Vargr, and Droyne player characters.

This module includes:

* Deep Metal: Far from their home, a diplomatic mission of Zhodani to the planet Parthinia is charged with securing mineral supplies for the Consulate. However, a local minor race, reputed to have psionic abilities helps uncover yet another deceitfut Imperial plot.
* Prosperity for the Taking: As Vargr player characters, a team must locate and recover a Tukera lines ship, stolen by Vargr corsairs who have broken away from the mighty Kforuzeng band. Only he who is charismatic enough and therefore powerful enough can come away with the prize—Prosperity.
* First Son, Lost Son: In the backwaters of the Asian Hierate, a clan leader despairs of ever locating his first son, stolen from him twenty ftahea ago by a deceitful female. The player characters must track them down and bring the son to his birthright.
* Interdiction Zone: On a covert mission behind enemy lines, an Asian team is forced down on a world with a primitive humanoid race. With rescue perhaps years in the future, they must carve their own niche in their new world.
* And more: Four other scenarios are also, included for other races—The Last Patrol for human characters, No Credit Check for Vargr, Ahriy Uprising for Asian, and The Casteless for Droyne player-characters.
Alien Realms is also presented in a unique new format. Each of the above scenarios has both a player's section, packed with information for the players to view, and a referee's section, for his eyes only. Information in the referee's section is organized so that the players might take several different approaches to their final goal, without bogging the referee down in endless detail."

An article-by-article list organised according to era and subject type. Each article description includes its author(s), pate, format, number of pages and other useful information. In addition to an author index, every one of the nearly 900 articles is fully indexed by keyword to provide an invaluable Traveller reference source."
