Judges Guild published Traveller supplements from 1979 to 1982, detailing full sectors of the Imperium, and according to Shannon Appelcline: "The result was a set of four publications: Ley Sector (1980), Glimmerdrift Reaches (1981), Crucis Margin (1981), and Maranatha-Alkahest Sector (1981). Together these sectors comprised the Gateway Quadrant; along with complementary adventures published by Judges Guild, they offered the most comprehensive and cohesive view of any part of the Traveller universe, with the possible exception of the Spinward Marches."

William A. Barton reviewed Glimmerdrift Reaches in The Space Gamer No. 42. [1] Barton commented that "Overall, Glimmerdrift Reaches is a useful play aid for Traveller and should help make adventuring on the Trailing edge of the Imperium as diverse and as exciting as that on the Spinward side has been."

Tony Watson reviewed Glimmerdrift Reaches and Crucis Margin for Chaosium's Different Worlds magazine, and noted that "As pre-generated sectors for Traveller play go, these offerings by Judges Guild are about as good as any on the market." [4]

Editions were published for GURPS, d20, and other role-playing game systems. From its origin and in the currently published systems, the game relied upon six-sided dice for random elements. Traveller has been featured in a few novels and at least two video games.
