As a player, assume diverse roles ranging from humans and robots to aliens and genetically engineered species. The game's setting revolves around the human-dominated Third Imperium, a feudalistic interstellar empire, offering a rich backdrop for your adventures.

A Tapestry of Influences: Inspired by literary works like Dorsai, Dumarest of Terra saga, Hammer's Slammers, and more, Traveller weaves a narrative that emphasizes commerce, sociological stratification, and a blend of low and high technology. The game's roots in classic science fiction contribute to a rich and engaging storytelling experience.

With a sophisticated character generation system and consistent rules, Traveller offers a dynamic and immersive role-playing experience.

A Universe of Diversity: Despite a focus on humans, the Traveller universe is cosmopolitan, featuring major races like Aslan, Droyne, Hivers, K'kree, Vargr, and numerous minor races. Societal stratification, independent nobility, and classic titles like Baron and Duke add depth to interstellar affairs.

Weapons and Technology: Traveller spans the spectrum of technology, from low-tech worlds with swords and shields to high-tech realms with cybernetics and non-sentient robots. The inclusion of slug-throwing weapons alongside energy weapons adds a hard sci-fi flavor, ensuring a diverse range of equipment for your adventures.

Starships and Worlds: Starships come in all shapes and sizes, from small scouts to giant colony ships. World generation rules produce a random mix of environments, from barren moons to densely populated planets. The setting features the remnants of the highly advanced Ancients, leaving behind ruins and artifacts scattered throughout charted space.

Recognized Excellence: Traveller has earned acclaim for its production value, sophisticated character generation, and consistent rules. Winner of multiple Origins Awards and inducted into the Origins Hall of Fame, Traveller remains a classic in the role-playing hobby.
