Traveller Supplement Adventure 8: Prison Planet is an adventure published by Game Designers' Workshop (GDW) in 1982 for the role-playing game Traveller
Prison Planet is an adventure that focuses on the player characters' attempts to get out of prison. It includes 63 pages of maps, descriptions, events, and non-player characters (prisoners, guards, and staff) for running adventures in a prison. [1]
GDW published Traveller in 1977 and it immediately became popular. GDW subsequently published many expansions, modules and adventures for it, including Prison Planet, written by Erik Wilson and Dave Emigh, and published by GDW in 1982.
William A. Barton reviewed Prison Planet in The Space Gamer No. 59. [1] Barton commented that "Overall, Prison Planet is a different and complete enough adventure that all referees should be able to find it useful, even if only used in part." [1]
Andy Slack reviewed Prison Planet for White Dwarf #39, giving it an overall rating of 5 out of 10, and stated that "The referee using this adventure will have to be a good storyteller to make most players enjoy the petty squalor of prison life, and will need to flesh out events and characters more than usual." [2]
In his 1990 book The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games , game critic Rick Swan highly recommended this as one of the best Traveller adventures. [3]
