101 Religions

101 Religions addresses the questions that drive so many sentient species across the Traveller universe, translating the resulting myriad of belief systems into concise descriptions that will be meaningful to Traveller players and may lead to events or plot hooks that add colour to your Traveller games.

What is the meaning of life? From their first primitive ancestors to the time of the great, star-spanning Third Imperium, almost every known sophont race has developed religion. The diversity of alien species has led to an equally diverse range of religions and beliefs which can affect every aspect of a world’s culture. An unwary traveller who falls foul of these beliefs may find themselves disliked, ignored, cast out or even sentenced to death!

Included are:

• 101 Religions grouped by the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service religion code
• Player Description for each religion, indicating information that could be found in standard library data
• Referee Details for each religion, containing background detail that might not be known by visitors to a new world
• Plot Ideas for each entry as examples of how to bring the religion ‘to life’ for your Traveller adventurers

101 Religions can be combined with 101 Governments, 101 Lifeforms, 101 Rendezvous and 101 Corporations, such that a Traveller referee can build an entire world from its basic Universal World Profile.

For those who buy Mongoose Publishing products, you may be interested to know that 101 Religions is included in the content of their Supplement 15: Powers & Principalities (but we'd be very happy if you chose to buy our original version!)
