Traveller Dates

Traveller has three traditional dates for celebration.

The first is July 22. The very first Traveller was released on July 22, the first day of Origins Game Fair in Staten Island in 1977.

The second is the Emperor’s birthday, Day 242 of the Imperial Calendar. This translates to August 29, which conveniently is Traveller creator Marc Miller’s birthday.

Then there is the first day of May. The first Traveller board wargame was Mayday, featuring individual starship combat. The game title reflects the universal distress call M’aidez! (French for Help Me!), generally expressed in English as “Mayday."
