Travelling In…

This section contains contributors’ thoughts on the suitability of setting a Traveller campaign in various universes from science fiction and fantasy.

None of these should be considered to be officially approved of in any way; they should be read as the contributors’ individual perceptions of the story setting as presented in the stories.

• Travelling In Compact Space (Jeff Zeitlin) Good potential for a limited subset of Traveller campaigns. [The Chanur Saga, C.J. Cherryh]
• Travelling In David Drake’s RCN Universe (Jeff Zeitlin) Perhaps more ‘Age of Sail’ than the stock Traveller setting. [RCN series, David Drake]
• Travelling In James Schmitz’s Federation of the Hub (Jeff Zeitlin) A relatively open setting for non-military Traveller campaigns [Federation of the Hub, James H. Schmitz]
• Travelling In the Liaden Universe^® (Jeff Zeitlin) A wide-open setting with richer world-building than most. [Liaden Universe^®, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller]
• Travelling In the Universe of Dumarest of Terra (Jeff Zeitlin) Foundational literature for Traveller itself, offering a grittier setting with many of the same tropes [Dumarest of Terra series, E.C. Tubb]
• Travelling In H. Beam Piper’s Terro-Human Future History (David Johnson) Another source for the foundations of Traveller [Terro-Human Future History collected stories, H. Beam Piper]
