The Traveller RPG is by far my favorite role playing system. The original (“Classic”) is still viable even now, over 40 years after its initial publication (1977), with only minor corrections and additions needed. Not a bad track record at all!
My go-to rules set is Mr. Miller’s latest incarnation of his award-winning rules, Traveller5 (T5). There are many comments and complaints about the weight of these rules, but in reality they are a tool set – choose what you need, either as a stand-alone game, or to add more flavor and detail to whatever rules version you may be utilizing. Use what works for you! 🙂
This is my collection of posts about the Traveller rules and settings.

You will notice a looong period where I didn’t post anything, 1-1/2 years to be specific. Depression hit me hard during this period, even more than a year after my wife’s passing. It took more time for me to recover, but I’m still on my feet, and back at things in something resembling a normal manner, lol.
My only posts were the continuation of my System of the Day project (posts located Here), and various ramblings, but nothing else Traveller specific.
