Traveller is science fiction roleplaying, a game where you become the hero or villain. Each player is a character of the future . . . some smart, some strong, some brave. . . and each player decides what his or her character will try to do. You learn from the rules about spaceships, laser guns, computers, alien creatures, and more; then you and your friends set off to explore the galaxy."
