Re: [RPG]: Traveller , reviewed by Jon 45 (2/4)

I think the middle-of-the-road approach of an implied setting has been one of the great strengths of both classic Traveller and D&D. I think this is part of what made them especially suited to newcomers to the hobby.

Games that strive to be more generic have their place, and I enjoy them. Games that are more closely tied to a specific setting have their place, and I enjoy them. Yet, there is still a place for games that take a moderate approach. It is neither sloppy nor ignorance.

Should there be a general “intro to the Imperium” book? Perhaps.
