I highly recommend these web sites if you're looking for Traveller info on
the Web. Since this list has grown, I've decided to break it down by category.
All Incarnations | TNE |
CT/MT | Where To Buy Traveller Materials
All Incarnations
- The Missouri Archive, compiled by
Joe Heck: A vast collection of material from all incarnations of Traveller.
- Freelance Traveller:
A collection of fan-based material maintained by Jeff Zeitlin.
- SFRPG: A collection of forums
where Traveller (and other sci-fi rpg) fans can talk about the game and the
publishers of the products of the game.
- The Core Route Projects: Clifford Linehan's site is dedicated to
mapping out the sectors encountered during the Zhodani Core Expeditions.
Unfortunately, GeoCities is no more and I don't know where the new home for
this is.
- The History of Imperium Working
Group: Basically, an organization whose purpose was to expand upon
Traveller. Although now officially defunct, it still has worthwhile material
posted. There were branches of the HIWG, but all are gone as far as I can tell.
TNE
- B.A.R.D.: TNE reference
works maintained by Lewis Roberts. An absolute must for TNE-RCES
campaigns.
- Skaran.net by Antony Farrell:
Starships, artwork, Banners sector, and United Worlds Commonwealth
Campaign, a Traveller variant universe utilizing stargates for FTL travel.
- Jay-Ann
Fighting Ships Publications by Yves Simon: A collection of starships
that he's created or converted over to TNE. A design spreadsheet is available
as well.
- The Vyborg
Campaign by Antti Lahtinen: Good site for TNE gearheads. Antti has
developed several FF&S design spreadsheets which are extremely helpful.
CT/MT
- The Zhodani Base by Per-Olof
Bergstedt: Contains Foreven sector info, an adventure, ships, equipment, a
java-based chat room for Traveller, and various Traveller polls. He's also
added a Galactic-based sector
index map of the CT universe and the
TNE universe.
- Map of Charted Space by Joshua
Bell: A clickable map with search functionality. Lists allegiance codes,
world names, starports, gas giants, bases, and trade routes (data permitting).
Inspired by the CT Map of the Imperium and Google Maps.
- Stellar Reaches: A
collection of fan-based material maintained by Jason Kemp.
- Gypsy Comet's Traveller Page: The focus is on the Zhodani but others
are included as well. Contains ships, sector maps, minor races, and some
equipment. Offline 10/31/08 due to AOL dumping websites.
- The Geonee Online Sourcebook by Carlos Alos-Ferrer: Dedicated to
providing a rich detailed history of the Geonee throughout the many settings of
Traveller. Also included is his "Beyond The Extents" campaign, which is located
coreward of the Vargr Extents. Offline due to ISP and spam issues.
Where To Buy Traveller
Materials
- Mongoose
Publishing: Marc Miller made them top banana so they're calling the
shots now. They've got a full line of material for the reboot of the CT era
(1105).
- Avenger Enterprises / ComStar Games: The one place where you could
get products for the new TNE:1248 milieu. TNE and other milieus were also
supported. Due to the Great Licensing Change of 2008, they're no longer allowed
to publish 1248, however, they're working for Mongoose now.
- Marc Miller's Traveller Web
Site: The game's founder is trying once again to keep Traveller going.
He re-issued the CT "little black books", and much more, in collector's edition
binders. He's also working on T5.
- DriveThruRPG.com:
Marc Miller has authorized eBook versions of GDW's & FFE's product lines
to be sold at that website. Books are in PDF format.
- eBay:
Plenty of people seem to be selling off their stuff. It's probably the best
place to find rare stuff in terms of selection and price. That link will bring
you to their RPG/Science Fiction section. Just enter "Traveller"
or "MegaTraveller" in the search field. You'll then be presented with a
list of what Traveller items are being auctioned off.
- Noble Knight Games: A web
site "dedicated to the buying and selling of out-of-print RPG's and Boardgames."
They've got a pretty good-sized catalog and they do a great job of packaging
your order. Definitely worth checking out. Online ordering available since 8/00.
