Journal of the Travellers Aid Society

Role-playing game magazine devoted to Traveller, commonly abbreviated JTAS. The first issue was published by GDW? in 1979 and the last of the first run was #24 in 1985. It was superseded by the magazine Challenge, which took up its numbering scheme and ran from issue 25 onwards with a broader role-playing game focus.

The magazine was revived by [Imperium Games]? after GDW folded, and JTAS 25 and 26 were published before that publisher folded itself.

After Steve Jackson Games licensed the Traveller setting, JTAS was revived once again as a weekly, then bi-weekly subscriber-supported web magazine in February, 2000. This incarnation of JTAS can be found at http://jtas.sjgames.com
