Storage lockers

[zonk]

Musings on a storage locker. I haven't played Traveller in 20 years. I haven't looked at my Traveller stuff for 15. Recently I've gotten the urge and finally I decided to see what I have left. It's not that I throw things away, but things go astray when you move a lot. Anyway this was my inventory today. I'm sure there are things missing because they are misfiled in the wrong boxes. I'm not looking to sell anything. I just thought this was ... strange. Why do I have the Traveller Book? I know I never used it, we always used the LBBs. Still my Traveller stuff seems to have survived the moves in better condition than my T2K stuff.

Similar pasts

Hi,

Looking at your post, I suspect that you and I, and perhaps many others here, have had similar pasts with regards to Traveller.

I first got interested in Traveller way back when it first came out and still have all that old stuff, that I only recently dug out of my attic. Although I haven't played Traveller since my high-school days, over the years I have continued to buy some of the new stuff as it has come out, more just out of curiosity on where the game may be headed than anything else. On top of this though, for awhile, when I lived in Maryland there was a used game store not too far from me, where I was able to pick up alot of the books and supplements I had missed out on when they were initially released.

Anyway, my Traveller & GDW related stash consists of;

On a side note, I think 2300 AD seems to have made a minor point of having some stuff set in or based on Africa (this is good, if for no other reason than to surprise or confuse your players :devil: ).
