Publication history
[edit | edit source]GDW first published Traveller in 1977, and followed this with dozens of supplements and adventures, including a series of supplements about aliens. Traveller Alien Module 6: Solomani is the sixth book in this series, a 48-page book by John Harshman and Marc W. Miller, with additional material by J. Andrew Keith and Rob Toy, interior art by William H. Keith Jr. and Steve Venters, and cover art by Dave Dietrick.[2]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Jim Bambra reviewed Traveller Alien Module 6: Solomani for White Dwarf #84, and stated that "Like previous alien modules, Solomani vividly recreates an alien society; it's a must for any campaign set in or near the Solomani Confederation."[3]
In his 1990 book The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games, game critic Rick Swan called this one of the best Traveller expansions, and especially recommended it.[4]
