The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery

“This is Free Trader Beowulf” by Shannon Appelcline is to Traveller what the “Meints Index to Glorantha” is to, well, Glorantha. We need more books like these! It’s so interesting to read about the history of classic #TTRPG games.

The coffee-table-sized "This is Free Trader Beowulf", described as "A System History of Traveller". It talks about the history of the game, the people behind it, the various publications, editions, publishers, and more.
The book includes "collector checklists" which is actually quite useful when you're a collector! :)
This is the kind of content you'll find in there, some interesting stories, some fun pictures, and some very nerdy-looking people with 1970s hair styles.
The book even has maps! Woohoooo!
