īooks: Books 4-8 are not essential to play the game and in fact I believe needlessly complicate character generation for the core classes. So I'm going to limit my recommendations to stuff published by GDW. Rhu, I'm a little late replying, but here we go.įirst off, there were so many supplements by so many different companies that it's almost impossible to answer this question. What about all the various supplements? Are they worthwhile? Any great ones or bad ones?Īlso, any input from anyone else would be welcome as well. Haha, saw this earlier when I got that email and thought of asking you about this, Traveller! NOTE TO ALL: If you don't like something I've said, PM me and tell me to my face, then give me a chance to set things right before you call a moderator. The original starship movement and combat rules are in the additional rules booklet. The list above was culled from my copy of that additional rules booklet, with one exception.

GDW also made available a deluxe version of the Starter Traveller rules that replaced the adventure book with The Imperial Fringe, included Book 0, and also included an eight page book of additional rules that don't appear in Starter Traveller. World Format (TAS Form 7: Subsector Data)Įxpanded information on the following encounters: wirebushes, cold snap, tornado, volcano, radiation area, quicksand.Įxpanded descriptions of the following equipment: handcuffs, wristwatch, shotgun microphone, chainsaw, disguise kit, wheeled AFV, tracked AFV, dirtmover, small steamship, destroyer. Ship Construction Formats (TAS Form 3: Ship's Papers, TAS Form 4: Ship Paragraph Description) Instead, combat between starships is conducted much like man-to-man combat, using range bands. There are no vectors in Starter Traveller.

How does Starter Traveller differ from the full Traveller rules? The most significant difference (other than book size and organization) is in starship movement and combat. Now.for those unaware of what Starter Traveller is, Starter Traveller is a simplified version of the Traveller rules, aimed for slightly younger players. Because Starter Traveller is currently being offered for free. I just got my most recent email from, and I went bonkers.
