Part of the classic Traveller Alien Modules series.

Reception

Craig Sheeley reviewed Zhodani in Space Gamer No. 76. [1] Sheeley commented that "Zhodani is a great module, the best that GDW has produced so far. I rather doubt that a lot of players will play Zhodani characters, because of the happy, well-adjusted, trusting nature of the Zhodani people [...] but gamemasters will love the module. A must for any continuing Traveller campaign." [1]

In a retrospective review of Zhodani in Black Gate , Patrick Kanouse said "This supplement provides a GM and player all the information they need to begin playing as Zhodani or adding Zhodani as opponents or allies." [2]
