Hi there,
currently I re-read the Traveller Classic core-rulebook, which is kind of awesome. And I don't know, why I did not 'understand' ist earlier; but reading it now and remembering my brief mid-nineties-get-in-touch-for-a-short-time with Traveller TNE I see 'some' similarities; but memories of the past are faint and very vague at best!
Now I wonder: Except for my short excursions into Classic Traveller and Treveller TNE I really did not get much insight into Traveller all in all. There are at least four (different?) editions available, a fifth is next to being published, which does not include the offsprings in GURPS, D20 or whatnot ... And I would like to know:
Is there a comprative thread/ topic about the original traveller-versions in which the commonalities and differences between the different games are discussed or opposed? (It is obvious, that in G20 or GURPS the differences to the original CT are obviously obvious, right?) And with that question I don't aim for comparison of the various source-books and published titles, but more for a comparison of the core rules, game-mechanics and -systematics in each edition - minor and major changes between the editions.
Is there such a thing available on this forum? And would you mind pointing me towards it?
All the best!
