We're beginning the next phase of the journey: survey testing.
Over the next few days, we'll be sending out a small batch of smoke test surveys. This is a standard part of the process where we send surveys to a limited number of backers first to make sure everything is working correctly before rolling them out to everyone.
If you don't receive a survey this week, don't worry!
It just means you're not part of the initial test group. Assuming everything goes smoothly, we'll send the remaining surveys shortly afterward.
When your survey arrives, you'll be able to:
Confirm your shipping information
Review your pledge selections
Make sure everything looks correct before fulfillment moves forward
Traveller 5E has officially reached its destination.
Together, we closed the campaign at:
$841,443 Raised
2,374 Backers
#8 Most Funded RPG on BackerKit
Highest Funded Sci-Fi RPG Campaign on BackerKit
Thank you.
So What Happens Next?
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll begin preparing surveys.
Our first step will be to send out a small smoke-test batch to ensure everything is functioning correctly. This means we'll send surveys out to 1% of Backers - if you don't receive a survey, don't worry! You're just not part of that small test. If all goes well, we’ll then send surveys to everyone.
This is where you’ll:
Confirm your shipping information
Review your pledge
Finalize add-ons and selections
The Journey Continues
Please expect regular updates from us throughout the writing and fulfillment process as we continue moving toward production, development, VTT integration, miniatures, books, and everything else ahead.
We are officially LIVE on our BackerKit page. We'd love it if you came to hang out for a bit to learn more about Traveller 5E as the campaign comes to a close. We're SO close to hitting our next stretch goal!
At 800K, we'll unlock another CivX Mission! Mission Eight: A Long Thaw - An unexplored, ice-covered world is already being terraformed, but by whom?
We have a few more Stretch Goals up our sleeve, if we get to that point.
This is your LAST CHANCE to back Traveller 5E - so act quick!
Once again - we can't thank you enough for such an amazing campaign.
We’ve officially entered the final 24 hours of the Traveller 5E campaign.
It’s been an out-of-this-world ride (obviously), and we’re incredibly grateful for all the support! We have some big news to share before the end of the campaign:
New License Announcement - Humanx Commonwealth
We're excited to officially announce Humanx Commonwealth for Traveller 5E.
The Humanx Commonwealth is the legendary science fiction universe created by author Alan Dean Foster, featuring a galactic civilization formed by humans and the insect-like Thranx.
As part of Traveller 5E, we’ll be publishing:
A full Traveller 5E setting book
New adventures set within the Humanx Commonwealth universe
We’re looking forward to sharing more about this project in the future.
Final Livestream
This time tomorrow, our team will be live right here on the project page as the campaign comes to a close. Join us as we celebrate such an awesome campaign!

World’s Largest RPGs brings its ambitious, comprehensive publishing approach to the far future by converting Traveller, the most influential science-fiction TTRPG of all time, to the latest edition of the world’s most popular role-playing game.
All of Traveller’s classic themes remain: free traders chasing profit on the edge of civilization, mercenaries taking contracts in bizarre, alien conflicts, explorers pushing beyond the frontiers, interstellar adventurers jumping from port to port, job to job, making their mark upon whole worlds, systems, and sectors.
This campaign includes BackerKit exclusive perks you will not find anywhere else.
Early access to the finished conversion before wide retail release
Special edition collectibles
Digital and physical rewards, from deck plans to miniatures
Traveller 5E meshes all these science-fiction elements with the most classic heroic game system, making for long-term, open-ended play. Everything is included: jump space starships, space combat, interstellar travel, exotic creatures and worlds, all the element to run epic space adventures. Traveller’s iconic character generation and other rules are seamlessly merged into 5E
5E backgrounds have been wrapped into Traveller's careers, which remain mostly unchanged
Every skill is preserved as a proficiency or feature
All varieties of combat are recast into the familiar steps we all know
Every immersive universe-creating system is faithfully reproduced
And, yes, your character can still die during character generation!
Every decision made in Traveller 5E impacts the story. Between the missions you accept, the risks you take, and the allegiances you forge to succeed, every choice matters. Balance your credits, starship fuel, high-tech devices, time and health as you daringly travel between strange and wondrous worlds!
The Traveller 5E project is being led by long-time game designer Timothy Brown, in full coordination with Mongoose Publishing. Having worked on many editions of the original Traveller game, as well as Traveller: 2300, and also several editions of and settings for the world’s most popular role-playing game, such as Dark Sun, he is uniquely positioned to blend the best of both into the most exciting science-fiction role-playing event in decades!
