Hey Travellers! We’ve made great progress in design!
The Core Rules book is complete in draft form, and it’s already with our internal playtesters. Their feedback is helping us fine-tune the Traveller experience in 5E form.
CivX is also taking shape. Check out this new content art at the bottom of this update! The human civilizations and new alien races are taking shape, and we've begun work on the missions that take you across that space. Write-ups and subsector maps are coming soon.
Also, of all the major races in and around the Imperium, can you guess which ones we'll include, and why, and how we'll integrate them into CivX space? Watch for our next update, where we’ll not only identify one of those races, but give you a chance to help us pick what they are called in this new Traveller setting!

That's all for now - keep an eye out for our next update. You'll get to vote on the name of one of the new races!
Hey all! We're settling down after a crazy week at Gen Con, and we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who stopped by to see us.
We actually met several of you backers there at the con and received a ton of valuable feedback from those who stopped by the booth. We appreciate all of the comments and suggestions - they're incredibly helpful as we continue moving the project forward!
Now that we're back, we wanted to give all of you a look at something we've been working on...
Book & Slipcase Prototypes While these are still prototypes and we'll continue refining them before production, we're really happy with how everything is coming together so far.
We'll continue sharing more behind-the-scenes looks as development progresses.
Thank you again for your support, and we'll see you in the next update! 🚀
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
