Rebellion Sourcebook is a supplement published by Game Designers' Workshop (GDW) in 1988 for the science fiction role-playing game "MegaTraveller". Contents. As the Imperium fractures apart following the assassination of the emperor, "Rebellion Sourcebook" describes each of the major factions. The book is divided into several sections: Publication history. GDW first published the space opera role-playing game "Traveller" in 1977, and many adventures and supplements followed. Ten years later, in an attempt to revitalize the franchise, GDW revised the rules and published it as "MegaTraveller". A new storyline about the breakdown of the Imperium was presented  in 1988's "Rebellion Sourcebook", a 96-page softcover book by Marc W. Miller with contributions by Ed Edwards, Joe D. Fugate Sr., Gregg Giles, John Meyers, Mike Mikesh, Marc W. Miller, Jefferson Swycaffer, and Gary L. Thomas, with interior art by Timothy Bradstreet, Rob Caswell, Steven S. Crompton, Liz Danforth, Jeff Dee, Bryan Gibson, Tom Peters, and A.C. Farley, with cover art by Farley. Reception. Jake Thornton reviewed "Rebellion Sourcebook" for "Games International" magazine, and gave it 3 1/2 stars out of 5, and stated that "if you don't play "Traveller" then it's useless, if you intend  to run a game it's essential. 'Nuff said." In the January 1989 edition of "Dragon" (#241), Jim Bambra called this sourcebook "solid support for the "Megatraveller" game. Bambra was disappointed by the brevity of the adventure included in the book, saying, "The adventure outline is thin, requiring substantial amounts of work by the referee." However, he concluded that this book was "an excellent resource for anyone running adventures in what remains of the Imperium [...] This is another fine addition to the "Megatraveller" game."
