Heyo! I have written a Traveller-inspired retroclone and plan on releasing it under the Creative Commons Sharealike 4.0 license. I call it SPACER, and it is my love letter/heartbreaker tribute for my favorite rpg, Traveller. I love this game so much and I want there to be a community version people can cut up and copy from so I wrote one. Spacer will be a free release in the incoming weeks without any artwork and with an at-cost POD option. I'll have an art included version with some extras later on for cheap, but that will come after the main free rules are released. Thanks to this community for being very cool, y'all are great!

Edit: I used Classic Traveller as the main inspiration primarily the Traveller book. It was written from the ground up without using existing srds or other derivative materials from them. I designed it so it would be compatible with the nearly 50 years of CT content out there along with any other adaptable material out there, including anything released by FFE and Mongoose which you should support!

The only notable difference is I don't have vector starship combat and simplify combat to hit between weapons and armor. There's other tweaks along with more referee tools for generating content.

Spacer will be free and released using the Creative Commons Sharealike 4.0 license. No AI was used in the creation of this product

Heyo! There is a massive bundle on Fanatical for 72 books of the original run of Twilight: 2000 and 2300AD published by Game Designer's Workshop! Whoa! Check it out here!

For those who follow my posts on the analog union newsletter, you may be familiar with the fact I think early white Dwarf is the best gaming magazine. Well, the internet archive has the first one hundred issues ready for you to dive into! Check it out!

I've had a number of people ask me what is the best resources for learning Traveller or for understanding its play style since it IS different from D&D. Check out the following suggestions!
