Plot summary

Tarsus is the first in a series of boxed modules to be companion to Traveller Starter Edition, and the adventures take place on the planet Tarsus.[2]

Reception

Andy Slack reviewed Tarsus for White Dwarf #50, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "Tarsus is an excellent adventure for the beginning band - either of new players or of new characters - but considering the time it took me to sort it out, it may be too complex for new GMs. I refrain from giving it an overall 10 because of the lack of adequate cross-referencing and weather tables, and inconsistent hex numbering on the subsector map."[3]

Frederick Paul Kiesche III reviewed Tarsus in Space Gamer No. 68.[2] Kiesche commented that "Tarsus (and the concepts behind it) are an exciting new area to be explored in the Traveller universe. I am looking forward to more modules such as this one [...] There's nothing like injecting new blood into an already-lively universe."[2]
