In April 2025, to kick off the sequence of revivals we called Traveller Week, we revived the November 2021 Classic Traveller Imperium Tour, a grand journey across the sprawling galactic empire of Traveller, the original SFRPG. In the 1980s Game Designers’ Workshop brought forth a, what’s the word, stellar array of rulebooks and supplements that tour the 11,000 worlds and the 1,100-year history of the Third Imperium. This revived Nov 2021 offer once again presented a huge assortment of rules, settings, and scenarios – everything you need for your own High Passage through this much-loved space-opera setting.
Once again there were twelve titles in this revived offer’s Starter Collection (retail value $57) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including two landmark 1983 releases, The Traveller Book and The Traveller Adventure; six sets of starship Deck Plans – 20-ton Launch, 30-ton Slow Boat, 30-ton Ship’s Boat, 40-ton Pinnace, 40-ton Slow Pinnace, and 600-ton Subsidized Liner; Supplement S12 Forms and Charts; the Classic Traveller Facsimile Edition – a “Little White Book” that reproduces the 1981 rulebooks with errata corrected; and the Classic Traveller Orientation Pack.
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got this revival’s entire Bonus Collection with thirteen more titles worth an additional $150, including all eight Alien Modules ( Aslan, K’kree, Vargr, Zhodani, Droyne, Solomani, Hivers, and Darrians) and all five M-series modules (Tarsus, Beltstrike, The Spinward Marches Campaign, Atlas of the Imperium, and Alien Realms).
Traveller Week 2025 was a sequence of six Bundle of Holding revivals showcasing the many eras of Traveller. This week-long retrospective centered on Traveller Day, celebrated each year on May 1 in recognition of the cover copy on the 1977 First Edition of Traveller: “This is Free Trader Beowulf, calling anyone… Mayday, Mayday…” We launched this sequence with a new special deal on Shannon Appelcline’s comprehensive 298-page history of the Traveller game system, This is Free Trader Beowulf. After this Classic Traveller Imperium Tour offer, we followed up with Gamelords Traveller and FASA Traveller, Mongoose Traveller 2E and Traveller Pirates of Drinax, and Traveller5. Whether you’re a newly mustered recruit or a six-term veteran, you’ll find much to explore in these Traveller revivals.
