Re: [RPG]: Traveller , reviewed by Jon 45 (2/4)
Sure, and we'll see, I hope it goes well! I don't dislike Traveller, I like it - or more specifically, I want to like it. I have T20, which unfortunately was poor from both a rules and setting standpoint (see my review on this site for that one), and GURPS:Traveller, which while rich and high quality suffered from the no sufficient overview product/interdependent splatbook syndrome. But especially with it being OGL I am behind Mongoose Traveller; I bought it today in fact, as soon as my FLGS had it.
Of course you always have to make up some yourself - even in a setting as gratuitously detailed as the Forgotten Realms or similar - my concern is more that:
If you want to do the standard Imperium setting,
How do you get an overview of the setting standard enough so that it doesn't *have* to be gratuitously different from other people's Imperium campaigns or require you to do loads of guesswork,
Without buying (and waiting 5 years for) a long line of 10 highly targetted splatbooks? (Or relying on older lines, which is cheating.)
