[GZG] Traveller love (Was: Under the Hammer)

I think with Traveller, it's just the effect of the totally fractured  
base. The "franchise" has been so poorly managed over such a long  
period, that everyone plays IMTU and I don't think there's much love  
for any flavour.

It just comes down to whatever your local group happens to play, but  
there are so many versions that it's hard now to see what makes a  
game "Traveller" as opposed to "My Random Space RPG". It could be the  
"Third Imperium" background, but there are at least, what, four  
different versions of that?

Best regards, Robert Bryett.
