Traveller 5e

We had another incredible campaign day yesterday, and thanks to you more stretch goals have been unlocked! Here's where we're at:

The Blank Subsector Map Notebook is designed for table use, with perforated pages so you can easily tear them out and build, share, or track your own systems as you go.

At $375K, we’ll unlock:

At $400K a new dice set option will be added to the Mystery Bags - and our backers will vote on which set will be added!

We got here a lot quicker than we thought, so our team is currently cooking up more stretch-goal ideas! What would you like to see in the campaign?

We had an incredible first day - beyond our expectations.

$258,205 raised
729 backers

Thank you!

Now - we can move onto stretch goals!

We’ve already cleared our first stretch goal.

💻 The Roll20 VTT Core Rules integration is now unlocked and will be automatically included if you’ve selected the Roll20 VTT item or add-on.

Next stop 300K!
At $300,000, we’ll unlock the Traveller 5E Character Sheet PDF for all backers.

We’re already so close.

Miniatures at the Table

We also wanted to highlight the miniatures available during the campaign.

A total of 36 miniatures are included - 20 Player Characters in both action and RPG poses, along with 4 squad bundles representing the Army, Navy, Marine, and Starport Security.

Last Call to Vote

Our first Choose Your Jump poll wraps up tomorrow! Make sure you vote for which job you want to take - we'll follow the winning job in another update!

Thank you again for a great start.

Traveller 5E has funded! 🚀
THANK YOU to everyone who has pledged so far. We’ll be announcing our first stretch goals tomorrow, so keep an eye out for what’s coming next!

We've gotten some questions about the pay-in-4 options. There's more information on that feature here.

Galaxy Dice Bag Collection

Moving to a d20-based system, we knew we'd need out-of-this-world dice! Thanks to our friends at Fanroll Dice, we found them and an awesome galaxy-themed bag to store all the sets together!  Check out the bundle in the add-on section! 🎲

We’ve kicked off a small community-driven Traveller scenario - your crew has a job to choose, and the outcome will shape what happens next.

Head to the poll that's attached to this update and cast your vote. We’ll follow the winning path in a future update.

You’ve got a Free Trader. It’s space worthy … mostly. The ship’s mortgage is due soon, and your last job barely covered fuel. Supplies are low, crew morale is lower, and something in the jump drive still makes that noise you’re doing your best to ignore. Now, a patron reaches out with three mission options:

Job A - Routine Freight - Standard cargo run to a nearby system. Freight, some mail, a few middle and low passage tickets. The pay is light, and the risk is minimal. You’ll stay ahead of your expenses, but not by much.

Job B - Priority Delivery - Medical supplies are needed fast. The pay is solid if you make it on time. The destination is three jumps away, though … push the ailing drive too hard and your ship might get stranded or even misjump.

Job C - Unregistered Cargo - Locked black crates, loaded into your cargo hold by grim, tight-lipped thugs. No questions asked. The payout is enough to solve a lot of problems … if everything goes smoothly, which it probably won’t. You’ve got one trip in you before things get tight. 

Traveller 5E is officially live on BackerKit!

If you followed the campaign or reserved your pledge, your rewards will be automatically added to your pledge!

If you're new to crowdfunding - that's okay! We're here and happy to help you through the process. Here’s a quick look at how crowdfunding works and what to expect when you pledge:

What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is a way to bring projects to life through community support. Instead of relying on a single investor, a large group of people each contributes a smaller amount to help fund the project.

One important note: you won’t be charged for your pledge, add-ons, or shipping until after the campaign ends.

1) Create an account
You’ll need a BackerKit account to pledge. This also lets you follow updates, participate in polls, and stay connected as the campaign progresses.

2) Choose your pledge
Pick the tier that fits what you’re looking for. Some tiers bundle items together at a better value.

3) Add extras (optional)
After selecting your pledge, you’ll have the option to include add-ons if there’s anything else you’d like to grab.

4) Check out
Once you’ve pledged, you’re all set. From there, you can follow along as the campaign grows, stretch goals unlock, and updates roll in.

5) After the campaign
When the campaign ends, you’ll receive a survey by email. This is where you’ll confirm your selections, adjust add-ons, and finalize your order.

(If you choose Pay Over Time, the survey will be sent after your final payment.)

Thanks for being here with us - prepare to jump! 🚀

We’re one week out from launch, and now’s the time to make sure you’re locked in.

If you haven’t already, reserve your pledge before launch to secure your FREE Traveller 5E coin with your physical reward.

We also have a quick poll live right now:

Traveller Career Patches

We’re expanding beyond the follower patch with a full set of Traveller career patches available during the campaign. Navy. Marines. Army. Scout Service.

Each one is designed to reflect the paths your character takes before your mission begins.

Metal Dice Case

We showed off the dice last week - now we wanted to show you what will house the official Traveller dice set! We can't have loose dice rolling around in your cargo hold.
