In March 2019 we revived the March 2017 Traveller20 Bundle featuring the QuikLink Interactive d20-based adaptation of the classic Traveller SFRPG.

For decades Traveller designer Marc W. Miller has licensed many publishers to create new material and even new rules systems for Traveller. From 2002 to 2009, licensee QuikLink Interactive adapted Traveller to the d20 System as Traveller20 (T20), supporting it with extensive source material usable with both T20 and Classic Traveller. Most of these supplements describe the official T20 setting, the Gateway Domain (four sectors at the Trailing edge of the Third Imperium galactic empire) in the “Golden Age” (circa Imperial year 993, about a century before Classic Traveller).

This revival gathered much of the T20 line: the core rulebook (and the d20 System Reference Document SRD-3), the player’s handbook, vehicle and equipment guides, starship deck plans, and lots of setting material. It’s everything you need for a complete campaign in the Gateway Domain using the Traveller20 or Classic Traveller rules.

There were fifteen titles in this revival’s Player Collection (retail value $87) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks:

  • T20 Traveller’s Guidebook: The player’s handbook for Traveller20, with character creation and combat rules. We also included the complete d20 System Reference Document SRD-3.
  • Four Traveller’s Aide guides: TA1 Personal Weapons of Charted Space and three vehicle guides — TA3 On the Ground, TA6 Against Gravity, and TA8 Through the Waves. These compendia of weaponry and vehicles include game statistics for both Traveller20 and Classic Traveller.
  • Revelation Station: A small orbital waystation that serves as an ideal base for player characters travelling the jump routes.
  • Eight sets of ship deck plans: Scout/Courier (Type S) and Golden Age Ships 1-7 — a comprehensive collection of game maps for many kinds of civilian spacecraft travelling the Imperium.
  • NEW IN THIS REVIVAL! Objects of the Mind: The theft of ancient artifacts leads to a confrontation with the Psionics Institute. (If you purchased this offer during its original March 2017 run, you’ll find Objects of the Mind on your Wizard’s Cabinet download page.)

Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Referee Collection with twelve more titles worth an additional $100:

That’s a US$173 retail value for a price cheaper than a long-range subcutaneous communicator implant in the Imperial Trade Cluster. Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to this offer’s designated charity, Human Rights Watch.

A few Traveller web resources

There are more Traveller pages on the web than worlds in the Spinward Marches. A few starting points:
