The Proto-Traveller Book List

[jawillroy]

I'd include 2nd edition LBB1-3 for PT, myself.

Sorry, I've apparantly lumped both editions into one "LBBs 1-3" title. I've fixed it now.

I suppose doing a TU using the '77 edition LBBs with NOTHING else, totally homegrown, might be Ur-Traveller...

I have the all-in-one-technical-manual-style-book reprint edition, which I've gotten in circa 2000, so the point is quite moot for me

I'd get rid of the libraby data books as proto-Traveller because they are too tightly tied to what the Imperium becomes via High Guard and MegaTraveller - plus they contradict library data in the early adventures

Not having read the Library books, I can't really say but if it's anything like the setting-support stuff in TTB then I second Sigg.

Library Data removed.

A little question - should Striker be considered ProtoTraveller? Sure, year-wise it fits the timeframe (but so does HG), but spirit-wise it's like HG on steroids. I like Striker, but I don't think it suits the PT atmosphere.

Other than the brief sections on integrating Traveller and the alien troop types there isn't much setting material.

It's just a very good section level wargame for troops across a range of TLs in a sci-fi environment.

I'd keep it (the design rules are too useful )
