Meta-history & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Traveller Book is an early Classic Traveller rules, adventure, and source book.

It compiles and updates Books 1, 2, and 3 as well as includes new materials and lavish illustrations seen nowhere else in Traveller publication.

Available in both hardcover and paperback. The hardbook version was also available with and without a dust jacket. The hardcover dust jacket and the cover of the paperback where as shown in the picture above. When available without the dust jacket, the hardcover was similar to a scaled up Little Black Book in appearance.

The Classic Traveller core rules actually exist in three different rulesets. Logic would suggest using the most recent released edition; but in this case, there are rules elements of interest to the collector which would not be included.

The original 1977 release of Traveller contained three books – Characters and Combat, Starships, and Worlds and Adventures. This set of rules contains everything needed to play Traveller. However, in 1981, GDW took advantage of a need to reprint the core rules to also address and clean up the rules. This "second edition" actually adds quite a bit to the rules, but there are also some items dropped from the rules. This second edition also incorporated errata printed in Book 4 – Mercenary for the original 1977 edition.

This cleaned up "second edition" would be used for producing The Traveller Book in 1982, along with some additional material, including a special introduction for new players, two adventures, and additional details on what was becoming the Official Traveller Universe (OTU). Some additional rules did slip into The Traveller Book that appear nowhere else.

Finally, in 1983, GDW released Starter Traveller, intended at giving a younger audience a streamlined and simpler set of Traveller rules. This release dropped some of the more complicated rules, but added a different starship combat system (using range bands, much like the personal combat system, as opposed to vector movement) which many consider a great improvement on the original. Except where noted, Starter Traveller uses the 1981 edition rules.

Finally, other minor Classic Traveller rules appeared in other releases (notably Mayday, Snapshot, and the Alien Modules) which some referees and players of the Classic Traveller rules will find useful without adopting the game models in those products. This document presents a collection of rules elements for purchasers of FFE's The Classic Books 0 - 8 to give them access to these lost rules not available in the Classic Reprints collection. ^[67]

+== Meta-history & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
+''The Traveller Book'' is an early [[Classic Traveller]] rules, adventure, and source book.
+* It compiles and updates Books 1, 2, and 3 as well as includes new materials and lavish illustrations seen nowhere else in Traveller publication.
 Available in both hardcover and paperback. The hardbook version was also available with and without a dust jacket. The hardcover dust jacket and the cover of the paperback where as shown in the picture above. When available without the dust jacket, the hardcover was similar to a scaled up [[Little Black Book]] in appearance.
+----
+The Classic Traveller core rules actually exist in three different rulesets. Logic would suggest using the most recent released edition; but in this case, there are rules elements of interest to the collector which would not be included.
+The original 1977 release of Traveller contained three books – [[Characters and Combat]], [[Starships]], and [[Worlds and Adventures]]. This set of rules contains everything needed to play Traveller. However, in 1981, [[GDW]] took advantage of a need to reprint the core rules to also address and clean up the rules. This "second edition" actually adds quite a bit to the rules, but there are also some items dropped from the rules. This second edition also incorporated errata printed in [[Book 4]] – [[Mercenary (book)|Mercenary]] for the original 1977 edition.
+This cleaned up "second edition" would be used for producing [[The Traveller Book]] in 1982, along with some additional material, including a special introduction for new players, two adventures, and additional details on what was becoming the [[Official Traveller Universe]] ([[OTU]]). Some additional rules did slip into [[The Traveller Book]] that appear nowhere else.
+Finally, in 1983, [[GDW]] released [[Starter Traveller]], intended at giving a younger audience a streamlined and simpler set of Traveller rules. This release dropped some of the more complicated rules, but added a different starship combat system (using range bands, much like the personal combat system, as opposed to vector movement) which many consider a great improvement on the original. Except where noted, [[Starter Traveller]] uses the 1981 edition rules.
+Finally, other minor [[Classic Traveller]] rules appeared in other releases (notably [[Mayday]], [[Snapshot]], and the Alien Modules) which some referees and players of the [[Classic Traveller]] rules will find useful without adopting the game models in those products. This document presents a collection of rules elements for purchasers of [[FFE]]'s [[The Classic Books|The Classic Books 0 - 8]] to give them access to these lost rules not available in the Classic Reprints collection. {{Page cite|name= Lost Rules of Traveller |page= 2}}
