Publication history

[edit]

Encounters in the Phoenix Quadrant was published in 1980 by Group One as a 16-page book.[2] Encounters in the Phoenix Quadrant is a play aid approved for use with Traveller.[1]

Reception

[edit]

William A. Barton reviewed Encounters in the Phoenix Quadrant in The Space Gamer No. 31.[1] Barton commented that "Overall, the wealth of detailed information on ships and their crews makes Encounters in the Phoenix Quadrant a worthwhile purchase for almost any Traveller player or referee. If, however, you prefer to create your own encounter situations from scratch and have no use for even so much as a frame on which to hang your ideas, you'd be best advised to leave this aid on the shelves."[1]
