Introductory Adventure: The Imperial Fringe published by GDW.

This adventure, published in LBB format, originally came in DELUXE TRAVELLER.

It's less of a detailed adventure and more of a framework for an adventure, as many GDW scenarios are written. There is some great advice in this thing for the first-time Classic Traveller GM (it should be required reading for beginners), and the adventure idea itself is astounding: To visit all 440 star systems in the Spinward Marches on a work-for-hire mission for the Imperial Scouts!

Yep, the idea is incredible. You're given a 20 year time limit to complete the work for hire.

I think this would be an incredible idea to base a Traveller campaign upon. My question would be, though, "Did anyone ever finish this adventure in their gaming careers?"

You get deckplans and description of the Scout/Courier AURORA, and I especially like the "peculularity" notes given--like the discussion about the various entry points on the vessel or the fact that the ship has a real problem with the air circulation system, and the filters have to be changes out once a month.

There's large Library section, rules for verifying planetary UWPs, and detailed recommendations for using aliens in Traveller (including CharGen mods). Stats are included for all 440 worlds in the Spinward Marches.

This adventure is written with the beginning GM in mind, and on that level, it does an excellent job. But, the adventure is very "open", to where the GM will follow the adventurers and ad-lib a lot (which I think is hard on new GMs).

But, for a GM who wanted to take this thing and run with it, I think it'd make a hell of a spine for a campaign.

Incentive to visit every world in the Spinward Marches?

C'mon. That's brilliant.

Rescue On Galatea publised by FASA.

This adventure if chock full of action. It's set in the Inverness subsector of the Far Frontiers sector, and it centers around a group of mercenaries hired to rescue a kidnapped diplomat. The advenuture is really Traveller's version of a modern-day raid by a group of Oil-Company-hired-mercenaries into a third world country to rescue a ransomed oil exec. There's lots of action and lots of overland travel. There's air-to-air combat in this one.

A GM can run this adventure in normal rpg-type sessions (men-going-in-a-la-the-Aliens-movie), or he may break out the Book 4 rules and run some Striker encounters. The adventure lends itself to both, or even a mixed, type of play.

There are plenty of NPCs, with full stats listed, but I noticed they seemed a bit over-skilled for Classic Traveller. Not many adhere to the Experience Limit rule.

But, in the hands of the right GM, this adventure could be a hellofaride.

Deep Shadows a sequel to the GDW adventure Shadows can be found HERE.

Argonaut, another fan-created adventure, can be found and downloaded HERE.

Argonaut would be an interesting and excellent choice to kick off a campaign, especially if the players are new to Traveller. I would recommend an experienced Traveller GM run this one, though.

Simba Safari published by Judges Guild

Judges Guild products are known for the variable quality. The newsprint paper typically turns players off, thinking that quality is not inherent if publishing quality is so low.

Well, Simba Safari, published 3 years before GDW's Adventure 10: Safari Ship, holds its own when compared to that later adventure.

It's a very basic plot: Use a Safari class ship, travel across several worlds, go huntin' and explorin'. That's basically what you're getting with this adventure.

Can it be fun? Sure. If the group likes exploration type scenarios, in the hands of a good GM, this can be a blast.

In this adventure you get detailed description of the 200 ton Safari ship pictured in Book 2. The actual deckplans are missing, but its easy enough to use the adventure description with the plans shown in Adventure 10 or even with some of the Safari ship deckplans that are floating around the net. The original intention of the writers of the adventure were for the GM to use the rules in Book 2 to create deckplans for his group, based on the description. So, GMs who are interested in this activity can certainly customize their own Safari class ship within the boundaries of the (very good) description of what the ship is like on the inside.

Very detailed crewmembers are included, and these can be used as PCs if wanted. Also, very detailed NPCs are included as well--passengers for the safari run.

The adventure is set on several worlds of the Diamond-Prince and Outworld subesectors fo the Ley sector, and the adventure provides a subsector map and detailed descriptions of each world.

The bulk of the adventure is its encounter tables. There are several of them, complete with events. This is, after all, an "exploratory" type adventure. Animals. Events. Terrain. Special Encounters. That type of thing. There's even an alien installation the characters can stumble upon and explore while they're out on thier safari. Detailed deckplans of the installation are included.

So, basically, what this adventure is, is a chance to explore several worlds, fight your way through many animal enounters, use your head to keep yourself alive during the events, and explore a "dungeon" type complex in the way of the alien installation.

This can be a fun adventure if open-ended exploration is what you're looking for.

Also note that this adventure is easily converted to another "theme". A ship stranded on a planet (or even crash landed), for example, is another way this adventure can be played.
