The Mountain Environment

The Mountain Environment is a 1983 tabletop role-playing game supplement, written by J. Andrew Keith, with a cover by William H. Keith, for "Traveller" published by Gamelords. "The Mountain Environment" is a book that details using mountainous terrain as a setting for adventure scenarios. A companion adventure, "Ascent To Anekthor" was written by the same author.
Reception.
Stephen Nutt reviewed "The Mountain Environment" for "Imagine" magazine, and stated that "How many times will your Travellers have to scale a mountain face? The only times I have been able to use this are in crash situations or when small climbs are needed, usually skulking around doing a dirty deed. Apart from that one scenario where the players climb a mountain for fun, I don't think I shall ever use the full mountaineering rules."
Tony Watson reviewed "The Mountain Environment" and "The Undersea Environment" together in "The Space Gamer" No. 72. Watson commented that "The tight focus and elaborate detail of these supplements is both their strength and weakness. Just about all aspects of mountain and undersea environments are covered, but I wonder just how much of this material is really going to make its way into the average adventure."
