@6What Is @3Traveller@6?
==================
@3Traveller@1 was the first SF role playing game published in 1976 as three black
A5 books (I think it was 76). It used just two d6 for all mechanics abnd was a
structured and clean HARD SF game.
It developed SF adventuring in a far future space empire called the Imperium
which, although thousands of years from now, always fwelt like 1950's science
fiction with chunky computers the size of whole rooms and the feel of Asimov
and Clarke.
Later @3Traveller@1 was revamped and relanched as Mega@3Traveller@1, which was a more
consistent but flawed system (puzzle that one out) and recently has been
re-issued again as @3Traveller@1 The New Era (TNE). Each new edition saw further
collapses in the stable society of the Imperium. In TNE all civilisation has
fully collapsed.
Traveller is in all it's forms a hard, military SF rpg, with no Star Wars fancy
or Jorune weirdness. It is a game to play Alien, Aliens, Asimov, Clarke and all
the classsics of the Golden Age of SF. It is an integral part of rpg history
and with TNE it should be part of the future.
