Hang in there, Beowulf.
Help is on the way…
Marc Miller’s Traveller is
one of the most fully realized game backgrounds ever
created… a vast empire of over 11,000 systems,
with a turbulent history dating back thousands of
years. Locales can range from a crowded spaceport
to a lonely frontier outpost, from the teeming cities
of Core to the unexplored worlds on the edge of the
Great Rift. Characters can be merchant princes, diplomats,
soldiers, politicians, nobles, criminals… or
all of them at once. Political intrigues, trading
schemes, mind-wrenching alien enigmas, mercenary raids,
wars… almost anything is possible.
The newly revised GURPS Traveller,
Second Edition melds this exciting universe with the
rules system of GURPS, and includes rules for creating
new characters and for converting old ones from other
Traveller rules systems. It includes a modular starship
construction system (fully compatible with GURPS Vehicles)
and a space combat system for ship-to-ship encounters.
GURPS Traveller also brings you
the official alternate universe for Traveller, in
which Emperor Strephon, and the Third Imperium, have
survived to face new challenges.
Continuing support for this line
includes books on alien races, scouts, worlds, and
playing a mercenary in the Traveller universe.
