Why Traveller?
08 Aug 2005 Filed in: News
'Traveller' is a role-playing game set in a science
fiction universe some 3,000 years in the future. It's
a game where humanity has spread to the stars and
several rival human and alien empires jostle for
power. It was created by Marc W Miller, in
conjunction with Loren K Wiseman and Frank Chadwick.
In flavour, it is a similar blend to Asimov's
Foundation series, Andre Norton's Solar Queen series
and Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn series (albeit
without the biotech and the ghosts).
It isn't a computer game - rather, it is a pen, paper and dice based game that you actually play face to face! It was first released in 1977, and there is a lot of material still in print, and a very in-depth background. I loved it as a teenager, and have since published material for it through BITS UK Limited.
These pages are a collection of links and information that I've gained over the years. Enjoy!
