Hi:
I was in my local gaming store the other day, and I managed to find a
reprint of the one of the alien books. This reprint used the old d6
system.
I had since stopped playing Traveller, and started playing things like
Alternity. I have been thinking
about GURPS Traveller for some time.
I had two basic complaints about Traveller:
1. It was tied too tightly to the Imperium. The first 6 books
let you play a more or less generic game. Latter versions such as
MegaTraveller and Marc Miller's traveller were too closely tied to the
imperium.
2. There was no reasonable experience point system or method for
character improvement.
So I am in a state of confusion, and I have some questions, which may
not be answerable, but here goes ...
1) What is the official Traveller game these days? I guess I am
asking, what are people playing now, what has market share, and when
gamers build fansites and resource pages, which game is it targetted
to ?
2) Does GURPS Traveller provide a decent character advancement
policy?
3) Is Traveller 5 a realistic possibility ?
Thanks
Matthew Harelick
