SUMMARY:Marc Miller at Red Raccoon Games [10/24/2026]
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive Ask the Author interview with Marc Miller\, the legendary designer of Traveller\, the successful science-fiction tabletop RPG\, first published in 1977 . \nTraveller isn’t just a game; it’s an entire universe. It’s a sandbox of interstellar adventure where players take on the roles of spacefaring explorers\, merchants\, and mercenaries navigating the vast and detailed Third Imperium . What truly sets it apart is its innovative character creation system\, famously known for the thrilling (and sometimes fatal) risk of your character dying before they even start adventuring . Come hear the stories behind this gaming milestone from the creator himself!
