Games Workshop, located in Nottingham in the UK, was not yet the powerhouse producer of popular miniatures games at the time they were publishing Traveller material. In their early days they were a typical game store with an atypical publishing arm that licensed US RPGs (including Traveller) for publication in the UK and European markets. They also published White Dwarf Magazine, which was their avenue for publishing reviews and new material for the games they licensed. Traveller articles, from early reviews and mechanical tinkering to ships, scenarios, a full page comic, and an interview with Marc Miller, graced the pages of White Dwarf for most of the first 82 issues.

Much like GDW's four "Best of JTAS" reissues, Games Workshop also reissued some of their early Traveller material in a pair of compilations focused on scenarios and other articles, respectively.

Two books of original material were also written and published by Games Workshop for Traveller. The IISS Ship Files book introduced a set of idiosyncratic starships based on very early impressions of Charted Space. Games Workshop also wrote Classic Traveller's Adventure 4 Leviathan, which was published by both GDW and Games Workshop.
