GURPS Traveller (2nd) reprint
Marc Miller's Traveller is one of the most fully realized game backgrounds ever created... a vast empire of over 11¸000 systems¸ with a turbulent history dating back thousands of years. Locales can range from a crowded spaceport to a lonely frontier outpost¸ from the teeming cities of the Core to the unexplored worlds on the edge of the Great Rift. Characters can be merchant princes¸ diplomats¸ soldiers¸ politicians¸ nobles¸ criminals... or all of them at once. Political intrigues¸ trading schemes¸ mind-wrenching alien enigmas¸ mercenary raids¸ wars... almost anything is possible. The newly revised GURPS Traveller¸ Second Edition melds this exciting universe with the rules system of GURPS¸ and includes rules for creating new characters and for converting old ones from other Traveller rules systems. It includes a modular starship construction system (fully compatible with GURPS Vehicles) and a space combat system for ship-to-ship encounters. GURPS Traveller also brings you the official alternate universe for Traveller¸ in which Emperor Strephon¸ and the Third Imperium¸ have survived to face new challenges.
