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! 🎲
Choose Your Jump
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.
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.
How to pledge
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.)
