Imperial Sunburst-Sun-IISS-Traveller.gif

Guildsman was an online & paper fanzine with some Traveller content edited by Jim Vassilakos. It originally ran for six issues from 1990-1992, then returned in Fall 2000 with #7.

Much of the momentum of this 'zine is in support of games and campaigns run by the authors in 1990-1992. As such, the material has nostalgic value. There is substantial D&D information, including some resources which seem generally useful. As a general gaming resource for Traveller, however, it seems less useful.

Articles of particular note:

  • Striker combat vehicles in No. 2
  • Casual Encounter in No. 4
  • Peter Trevor's article on Yori in No. 7, which discusses the Zhurphani.
