[2] :63 FASA ended its support for Traveller with Far Traveller #2 ( January 1983), even though a third issue was promised but was never published; the Keiths continued their writing for Traveller at the new company Gamelords.

Reception

William A. Barton reviewed the first issue of Far Traveller in The Space Gamer No. 61. [1] Barton commented that "Overall, Far Traveller looks like it should be an excellent addition to the world of Traveller products. High Passage will be missed, but Far Traveller should go a long way to fill the void." [1]

Tony Watson reviewed Far Traveller #1 for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Far Traveller was a good buy. With FASA's backing and the Keith brothers' editorial and artwork, it was too good to last." [3]
