This is Free Trader Beowulf: A System History of Traveller comes out this Friday!

Starting in the days of GDW, this mighty tome charts the real world history of Traveller, its books, its eras, and all the different publishers who contributed to the epic!

 

[MongooseMatt]

Starting the tale in 1962, this 296-page book launches into GDW's creation and release of Classic Traveller, along with what influenced those first books of the sci-fi RPG.

This is Free Trader Beowulf: A System History of Traveller comes out on Friday!

It is not just the frontline Traveller publishers this book is covering - we also dive into the third party licensees, including FASA, Gamelords & Judge's Guild...

So looking forward to this

 

[MongooseMatt]

It comes out tomorrow!

We have gone really deep with this book - most chapters have a 'What Could Have Been' section, detailing books that were proposed, even worked on... but never got released...

 

[RocketScientistNE]

Will this be released in printed book form or PDF only on Friday?

 

[MongooseMatt]

Print goes on pre-order on Friday, PDF downloadable immediately!
