If you are new to this Project, keep reading from here; if you are already a Backer, scroll down to NEWS. Marc Miller's Far Future Enterprises is raising funds for the legendary Fifth Edition of Traveller on Kickstarter! Traveller was born July 22, 1977 as a now-iconic Little Black Box with three Little Black Books. No one knew it was coming when the first copies showed up at the Origins Game Convention in Staten Island. In fact, D&D was itself just getting off the ground; there were no [significant] science-fiction role-playing games to speak of. And Traveller (it’s now called Classic Traveller to distinguish it from the various editions that followed) had its own quirks: for example, your character could die during character generation, for example.

Traveler or traveller may refer to: Contents. 1 Types of people. 1.1 Specific groups. 2 Animals; 3. Traveller (role-playing game), a series of science fiction role-playing games, first. Create a book Download as PDF Printable version.

The Original Little Black Books This is Traveller’s 35th year, and Marc has worked for several years on what he calls the Ultimate Edition: Traveller5. It includes so many things that players have asked for, or that have been imperfectly handled previously. Spartacus blood and sand download utorrent. In fact, Marc recently said there are now systems and chapters that he didn’t know how to design way back then.

But he does now, and they are included. T5 has technology beyond TL 15, clones, robots, computers, artificial intelligence, QREBS (!), alien senses, Flux. It has a whole series of easy-to-use Makers: GunMaker, VehicleMaker, ArmorMaker, RobotMaker, SophontMaker, ThingMaker. It includes mapping of star systems and worlds; there's ever the MOARN caveat: Map Only As Really Necessary, or referees would spend all their time just making maps of worlds and systems. There's a rationalized section on Psionics, and more, much more.

The New Big Black Book We have a series of Rewards at support levels that fully engage players and characters in the system: nobility and land grants; characters or personal ships in examples in the text, even illustrations. And for almost everyone, there is the Wall of Heroes. This Project is a labor of love, and we invite you to be part of it. Help us make this next edition of Traveller the best it can be.

You are reading this now; share it with your friends those guys you played Traveller with once upon a time. Let them know so they can reserve a copy too. Spread the word!

It means a lot to me to be able to do this, and with your help, I can. - Marc Miller NEWS Changes to the Rewards: Pledge $10 (or more). The Number of Wallpapers in Swag Bronze has increased to FOUR. There’s the iconic Scout in Water, and we have added Scout in Wilds, Scout in Space, and my personal favorite (it’s on my iPhone): the Solomani Fleet Courier.

Pledge $25 (or more). Did we tell you that we'll have a video (Swag Silver) of your name being carved on the Alabaster Cliffs? Pledge $50 (or more). We have changed (increased) the number of Traveller Dice in Swag Gold from two Black to one each of Red, Black, and White. Remember that this Swag is included in every Pledge at this level or higher. Pledge $51 (or more). At this level, you will receive the Traveller5 CDROM.

The CDROM includes an electronic version of the Imperial Scout and the Free Trader Beowulf. Accompanying the CDROM is a credit-card-size membership card in the Travellers' Aid Society with a special supporting rule, your personal or character name, and the UWP for a world of the Imperium. We also include an Imperial Cr25 coin. Pledge $100 (or more). At this level you receive the Traveller5 Hardcover Rules Book. Every Book includes the CDROM, and also includes: A printed deck plan (23 x 35 inch) of an Imperial Scout/ Courier. A printed deck plan (also 23 x 25 inch) of the Free Trader Beowulf.

A set of 12 color ship images by Traveller artist Jesse Degraff. Printed (one color-black) end leaves (those are the inside front and back covers) for the book: useful charts and tables. Finally, this book includes two Imperial Cr25 coins (one for the book and one because the CDROM is also included at this level).

The Player's Book By popular demand, we have committed to producing the Traveller5 Player's Book: a handy digest-size rules reference tailored for use by Players but without the (primarily) Referee’s rules. We expect to produce a printed version in Spring 2013, but every Backer who orders a Book will receive a link to an Ebook version when it is complete. Our Final Stretch Goal- $250,000 When we reach $250,000, we will be able to add a Knighthood every Book. There are 9074 worlds in the Imperium and each Knighthood will be randomly associated with a world. Since a Baron or a Marquis or a Count should also be a Knight, the Knighthood will also be added to the Noble editions. OPTIONS We have some nice items that some of you (but not all of you) want. We call them Options.
