Traveller is a science fiction roleplaying game of bold explorers and brave adventurers. Spaceports, ancient civilizations, 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 roleplaying game.
Traveller is a science fiction roleplaying game that gives you the freedom to explore a vast, dangerous galaxy as a seasoned crew of spacefarers. Originally published in 1977, it remains one of the most influential and beloved games in the genre, and the 2022 Core Rulebook Update updates the classic rules for a modern audience.
In Traveller, your character is not a fresh-faced recruit, but an experienced traveler. You build them through a unique, game-like life-path system that charts your career across multiple terms of service—from a scout in the Imperial border fleets to a merchant navigating the lawless edge of space. Each career shapes your skills, grants you contacts, and can even saddle you with a risky debt. By the time your character is ready to play, they have a story to tell and a mortgage to pay.
The game is a sandbox of science fiction adventure. You can pilot your starship as a free trader seeking your fortune, a mercenary accepting dangerous contracts, or a scout pushing beyond the known edges of the galaxy. The rules support a wide range of play, from trading and exploration to survival and space combat.
Traveller is for anyone who dreams of travelling among the stars, not as a hero from a distant prophecy, but as a skilled professional who earns their place through grit, wits, and a healthy dose of luck. It is a game about debt, danger, and the occasional windfall; about building a crew and seeing what’s over the next horizon. Your starship is waiting, Traveller.
