"Traveller's Influence: Starfield and the Ultra-hard Steam Space Game"

Bethesda's upcoming space opera game, Starfield, draws inspiration from Traveller, one of the first tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) published in 1977. Traveller's open-ended gameplay, easy-to-learn ruleset, character creation system, and emphasis on exploration and starship construction have had a lasting impact on the RPG genre. Traveller's influence can be seen in the ongoing campaign concept, player-driven storytelling, and universe generation systems of modern RPGs.
