I didn't realize there was two versions coming out at the same
time...interesting.
I also have a collection of Gurps books. I never really thought about
the artwork...(art? what art? There is art in there? :-)
One of the things I really liked about Traveller was you could always
find something useful for whatever project you were working on. Those
guys seemed to cover most subjects long before Gurps/Champions/etc. did.

they had.

then of course I have a large collection of old GURPS books so one
becomes inured to rubbish artwork. I still think the original Traveller
books were among the best illustrated RPG books of any with basically no
artwork at all and a nice clear layout.
