More than nostalgia, this forms the basis for later Sci-Fi RPGs like Stars Without Number and also those RPGs that embrace deep backstories. It also flies the banner for embracing the randomness of RPGs and "failing forward". To deal with what cards Fate deals you and then building a game out of it.

The 2D6 basis of this game points for a bell curve of outcomes rather than a flat 1D20. It also shows a game as it developed over these three books.

If your serious about RPGs and serious about the types of fun different RPGs can bring this is a must have.

What a fun jaunt down memory lane this was! It took me back to my late high school and early college days in the mid-1980s.

This is a good listing of the products that are part of the CT universe. I wish there was a bit more description of each of the items though, but that is a minor issue at best.

As it was free when I downloaded it I'm giving it five stars because I spent more time, pouring over and consulting this catalogue-style listing, then reading the actual products I've recently downloaded.

It has made me do is consider buying the "Classic Traveller Canon" CD-Rom direct from Far Future Enterprises, but for now I stick to downloading the odd little goody from DriveThruRPG - such as Traders and Gunboats, which I never owned first time around.

This is essential reading for the Traveller collector or completist, very useful for finding the "context" of a Traveller product - especially when one mixes up LLBs with Supplements.
