[[Worlds and Adventures|Book 3 Worlds and Adventures]] is a [[Game Designers Workshop]] product.
* It is a primary source book, a rules book, designed for [[Classic Traveller]].
* It created the [[UWP]], and helped to flesh out the [[OTU]] of [[Classic Traveller]].

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
''Book 3'' concerns the [[World|alien world]]s and [[star system]]s that can be encountered in the [[Imperial Fringe|far reaches]] of the [[universe]]. The referee is concerned with that part as he or she generates those worlds before the [[Traveller Gene|travellers]] arrive. Later, the players are concerned with the same data as they explore and investigate the [[world]] they have travelled to. {{Page cite|name= Characters and Combat |page=7|version=Classic Traveller}}

== Meta-history & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
Books 1, 2, and 3 came together to provide a great, well-developed sci-fi RPG.

---- 
{{Ludography cite|name=Worlds and Adventures|page=}}(1977) created the [[UWP]], which was later expanded with "Extended [[UWP]] Statistics", and was continued with the following products:
* [[World Displays]] (1981), by [[Ad Astra Products]], which provided subsector and world record forms. 
* [[Grand Survey (book)]] (1986), by [[Digest Group Publications]], which detailed the [[Imperial Interstellar Scout Service]] ad the  [[Grand Survey]]s, which allowed detailed physical characteristics and an accurate map of the world. [[Grand Survey (book)]] called the [[UWP]], the UPP or Universal Planetary Profile.
* [[Grand Census]] (1987), by [[Digest Group Publications]], which detailed world cultural characteristics, including details of the social structures, government institutions, languages, and technology of the [[UWP]].
* [[World Builder's Handbook]] (1989), by [[Digest Group Publications]], which detailed how [[IISS|Imperial Scouts]] survey and explore new worlds including colonization and world mapping techniques. 
* [[World Tamer's Handbook]] (1994), by {{GDW}}, which brought even more detail to the survey and colonization processes.
* [[Traveller 5th]] (2013), by [[Far Future Enterprises]], which further continues the [[UWP]] legacy with many new features.

-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}}
