Favorite Traveller RPG Version?

[Horizon Jeff]

What's your favorite version of the Traveller RPG? And is your favorite setting and rules set the same, or do you use one rules set in another setting?

MGT in my own ATU. I also run a MGT Trojan Reach campaign set during the 4FW but the 3I is a lot darker and less monolithic IMTU

I like to pick and pluck things from T5 occasionally to spice it up

Must say we as a group have been loving the new look Mongoose version. Very pretty and some great rule tweaks. And streamlined to make play easy.

I like the Mongoose version quite a bit too. Familiar, but with enough new stuff to make it interesting. Central Supply Catalog is one of my favorites, I like all the art.

I chose GURPS Traveller, mostly due to the fact that it is the only campaign (set in the Reft - Islands Cluster of Trillion Credit Squadron fame) we are currently playing, on- and off-ish. Still love my old Traveller and MegaTraveller books, though - and would give newer versions a chance if there was a group around.

Over the years I've tried GURPS once or twice (don't think I've ever tried to play Traveller with GURPS though). The system definitely has a lot of potential, but I never sat down and really learned it.

I always end up going back to CT and using the Striker tables for weapons etc, with a slight tweak to the damage table so that instead of 3d6 or 6d6 damage only, you can take 1d6 - 6d6.

I've only ever played CT, but that was back in the 80s and 90s. I ordered the Mongoose Starter Set over the weekend and hope to introduce my adult kids and their friends to the Traveller universe through it in the coming weeks.

I really feel MgT is a good compromise between being simple, and yet having enough game elements to be interesting and expandable.

I only have ever played Traveller Classic and only briefly in the early 80s. We used to generate characters, just to see what would come out of character creation.
