A New Era of Roleplaying Begins!

After decades of refinement, iteration, and quiet development across multiple editions of Traveller, we are proud to announce the official launch of Traveller 6.

Traveller 6 represents a bold step forward in simulationist science-fiction roleplaying, delivering unprecedented realism, immersion, and administrative accuracy.

CORE FEATURES

Real-Time Jump Engine™
Jump travel now occurs in real time. A standard Jump requires 7 real-world days to complete. Players are encouraged to use this time productively.

AI-Integrated Referee System
The new Referee Module dynamically interprets rules, disputes player decisions, and may override outcomes for “narrative integrity.”

Expanded Lifepath System
Now includes:
Career burnout
Financial instability
Mid-life crisis events (mandatory after age 34)

Dynamic Economic Simulation
Starship mortgages now track:
Real-world interest rates
Inflation
Credit score penalties for missed payments

Bureaucracy Subsystem (NEW)
Required forms before each jump
Starport clearance delays (2d6 hours minimum)
47-page parking compliance regulations

SYSTEM UPDATES

Dice are no longer random. Outcomes are influenced by player decision history.
NPCs may refuse to provide plot hooks without proper documentation.
All previous editions are now classified as non-canon simulation models.
