I owned the second version and, like so many RPG products of that era, I played it until the box literally fell apart. A second edition released in 1983 came in a larger, 8½" × 11" box. Snapshot first appeared in 1979 in a black and green box of similar size to the 1977 Traveller set. Time and again, GDW showed how relatively easy it was to add to, subtract from, and modify Traveller for various purposes.Ī good example of what I'm talking about is evident in the various boardgames derived from Traveller that GDW published, such as Snapshot. Traveller's rules are straightforward, wide-ranging, and expandable. In large part, that's due to my lifelong love of science fiction – some of my earliest memories are watching Star Trek reruns with my aunt in the early 1970s – but I firmly believe that my affection is also due to the elegance of the game's design. Adjacent to the Table of Contents is a Table of Charts for the specific volume: listing the full page charts and tables for easier access.I've never made any secret of the fact that Traveller is without question my favorite roleplaying game. That division of subject matter has been tested over time, and we returned it with Traveller5.10 in order to make each the three Big Black Books intuitive in their coverage.Įach Book is indexed for access to the subject matter, but in addition, we have provided a comprehensive Table of Contents at the front: by comprehensive, we means that it covers all three books for easy reference. Those three Little Black Books each had a concentration: When Travellerwas originally published in 1977, its format was three 48-page 5.5 x 8.5 inch digest format books, mimicking the format of the only real role-playing game out there at the time: wood-grain box Dungeons & Dragons. Most obvious of our changes is the reformatting to three Big Black Books.
More work concentrated restating concepts that were poorly, or faultily, expressed. Much of the work has focused on correction of errata and typographical errors. This set of PDFs is the culmination of four years of work, play-testing, revision, and even redesign, in order to make the Traveller5 game system the best portrayal of the Travelleruniverse of the far future we could possibly make. The Traveller Science-Fiction Role-Playing Game System, Fifth Edition The updated Traveller 5 dot 10, consisting of three Big Black Books (BBBs) with the titles Characters and Combat, Starships, and Worlds and Adventures, in a slip case.
