Bundle of Holding has revealed two new money saving offers for classic GDW Traveller roleplaying adventure. First is the MegaTraveller bundle, originally published by GDW beginning in 1987, which is second edition Traveller in essence. MegaTraveller focuses on the period of civil war which eventually brought down the Third Imperium. The starter collection can be had for $9.95 or get the entire collection for $21.16.
Second is the Traveller: The New Era bundle, the final GDW edition (essentially Traveller 3E) originally released in 1993, as the Third Imperium is no more and players can explore the thousands of planets which are now going it alone. You can get started for $14.95 or go all in for $25.52.
These sales continue through May 5th. Keep in mind ten of your payment (after payment gateway fees) will be donated to these two Traveller offers’ designated charity, Folding@home, a distributed computing project that simulates the dynamics of protein folding. The small-molecule screening simulations now running on Folding@home can help prioritize the molecules to be synthesized and assayed by the PostEra COVID Moonshot aimed at rapidly developing new therapies against the SARS-CoV-2 main viral protease.
From Bundle of Holding:
MegaTraveller
Traveller! After a thousand years, the interstellar Imperium has splintered into warring empires. A widespread Rebellion has reached even to the Spinward Marches. This is the setting of MegaTraveller, GDW’s 1987 space-opera tabletop roleplaying game of Rebellion in the Third Imperium — a follow-up to the pioneering SFRPG Traveller. Now our resurrected March 2015 MegaTraveller Bundle gives you a new chance to get almost the entire GDW MT line for a bargain price.
This revived offer’s Player Collection (US$9.95, retail value $66) includes the complete MegaTraveller rules in three books, along with the line’s most highly praised supplement, the Rebellion Sourcebook. And new in this revival, we’ve added two issues of the Digest Group Publications magazine MegaTraveller Journal. (If you bought this offer during its original March 2015 run, you receive the new magazines automatically on your Wizard’s Cabinet download page and in your DriveThruRPG Library.)
And if you pay more than this revival’s threshold price of $21.16, you’ll level up and also get this revival’s entire Referee Collection with seven more titles worth an additional $70, including the Referee’s Companion, Astrogator’s Guide to the Diaspora Sector, the adventures Assignment: Vigilante and Knightfall, and several titles by Nebula-nominated science fiction novelist Charles E. Gannon. It’s everything you need for your own space-opera campaign of war across the Third Imperium.
Traveller: The New Era
Star Viking! We’ve resurrected our February 2018 Traveller: The New Era Bundle featuring Traveller: The New Era, the 1993 version of the star-spanning science-fiction tabletop roleplaying game of collapse and renewal in a fallen galactic empire. The corrupt Third Imperium fell to civil war and the artificially intelligent Virus. (Ahem.) Now vigorous survivors are forging a better, more vibrant history across ten thousand worlds. In the New Era, the future starts now.
For just US$14.95 you get all six titles in this revived offer’s Starter Collection (retail value $70) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks:
- Traveller: The New Era Deluxe Edition: The complete 386-page rulebook plus many maps and play aids. Includes the 160-page technical sourcebook Fire, Fusion, & Steel.
- Survival Margin, World Tamer’s Handbook, and Vampire Fleets: Three essential setting sourcebooks.
- TNE Players’ Forms: Fourteen new sheets that let you organize all the stuff in the rising new empire.
And if you pay more than this offer’s threshold price of $25.55, you’ll level up and also get this revival’s entire Bonus Collection with eleven more titles worth an additional $110:
- Two Regency sourcebooks: Keepers of the Flame and the Regency Combat Vehicle Guide.
- The complete four-book set of Star Vikings: the Path of Tears sourcebook, the adventure collection Smash & Grab, the Reformation Coalition Equipment Guide, and the Star Vikings character collection itself.
- Aliens of the Rim: The manipulative Hivers and their elite shock troops, the Ithklur.
- The complete Virus Redux adventure trilogy: The Guilded Lilly, Belly of the Beast, and Into the Darkness.
- TNE Referee’s Screen: Useful charts and a 16-page reference booklet. Includes a .PDF version of Lady Elise, an eight-page introductoryadventure outline sold with the original hardcopy Referee’s Screen in 1994.
