The Cleaved Helm

Digest Group Publications (DGP)

"DGP began publishing the Traveller's Digest in the early part of 1985.  Like a multitude of other Traveller magazines, it began life as a small, black and white colored digest.  However, the Traveller's Digest was quite different from the numerous Traveller 'zines that had come before it.  It was filled, cover to cover, with innovative material and it was officially approved by GDW."
— Shannon Appel, "The Travellers' Digest Index"

The Grand Tour

"Our itinerary?  A 'Grand Tour' of the Imperium: starting in the Spinward Marches, you'll travel to Vland, Capitol (sic), Terra, the Aslan Hierate, and across the Great Rift via the Jump-5 Route.  Naturally, there will be plenty of stops along the way. . . ."
— Gary L. Thomas, "Editors' Digest," Travellers' Digest #1


Beginning with The Travellers' Digest #1, Digest Group Publications presented a series of linked adventures comprising the "Grand Tour" campaign where a group of travellers made their way from the Spinward Marches to Capital / Core and back.
