Publication history
Shannon Appelcline wrote of the many changes from the previous edition of Traveller: "Traveller: The New Era (TNE) was rewritten to use the GDW House System. Some old systems such as the unique term-based character creation still existed but everything was notably revamped. The result felt more militaristic and more complex than its predecessors, not a surprising result given the system's ultimate origin in Twilight: 2000."[2]: 61
Reception
Chris W. McCubbin reviewed Traveller: The New Era for Pyramid #2 (July/Aug. 1993) and concluded that, despite some complaints he had about the new version, "Traveller's still around and that's good. I hope it always will be."[3]
Brennan O'Brien reviewed Traveller: The New Era in White Wolf #37 (July/Aug., 1993), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "Traveller: The New Era is outstanding. It's nice to see GDW put Traveller back on the front burner."[1]
Traveller: The New Era won the 1993 Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Rules.[4]
