Spaceports, ancient civilisations, air/rafts, cold steel blades, laser carbines, far distant worlds, and exotic alien beasts – this is the futuristic universe of Traveller, the original and classic science fiction. The Traveller Core Rulebook contains everything you need to create one of these adventurers and begin exploring the galaxy. If you enjoyed this video, I would ask that you consider making a donation to the SOS. I offer my thoughts on the 2nd Edition of the Traveller RPG core rulebook, published by Mongoose Publishing. With complete rules for character and world creation, spaceships, encounters and trading, it is your gateway into new universes. Traveller is back, and it is better than ever! Based on the Classic Traveller rules set, this book has been streamlined for modern roleplaying, and yet still retains that unmistakable Traveller aura. A situation similar to earth in the eighteenth century is created, where communication is limited to the speed of travel, and the stage is set for adventure in a grand fashion, with all the trappings of the classic space opera: giant, star-spanning empires (good, evil, or both), huge starfleets, wily interstellar merchants (or pirates, depending upon your point of view), complex diplomatic maneuvers, larger than life heroes, heroines, and villains the mind boggles.Traveller RPG Core Rulebook by Gareth Hanrahan The tremendous distances involved, however, dictate that interstellar voyages can take weeks, months, and sometimes even years. In Traveller, mankind has conquered the stars, and travels from one stellar system to another as easily as present day Terrans can travel from one continent to another. Almost any situation which occurs in any SF novel, movie, or short story can be recreated in Traveller with a little work on the part of the referee. In Traveller there is an entire universe to be explored. Players are no longer limited to wandering inside a single underground labyrinth, to exploring a single continent, or even a single world. This means that Traveller is set against a background drawn from adventure-oriented science fiction literature, and the scope and breadth of the game are limited only by the imagination and skill of the players and their referee. Traveller is a science-fiction role-playing game set in the distant future, when humanity has made the leap to the stars and interstellar travel is as common as international travel is today.
