Mongoose Publishing is about to release a new version of the

Traveller RPG. They intend to follow the Traveller Campaign Setting

up with a variety of compatible sci-fi RPGs.



In order to make this all accesible, they have decided to open the

system up. There will eventually be a Traveller SRD, which will be

very useful to anyone making their own tabletop sci-fi game.



However at the moment, they are still in the playtesting phase. They

have released an Alpha version of Traveller called Traveller Playtest

Document v3.2. Here is the URL:

http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/Traveller%20Playtest%20Doc.pdf



You might need to reassemble that back onto one line if it breaks up.

The PDF is a massive 2.8MB! It doesn't contain OGC at this stage, but

you could probably use it if you want to start converting your own

science fiction universe over to Traveller rules.



I haven't played Traveller myself, but I know that Sparky is a big

fan of it, so I'll be checking it out when it arrives. The fact that

they are doing an SRD will make it much more useful if we ever decide

to convert the VE Universe to Traveller. The system itself is not a

d20 System game, but the character creation rules seem to fit in a

lot better with the sort of thing we have tried to do at VE.

Nice to see some activity here again!  I was checking out my vintage WOW LT gear

today.  Anyone here played with the new Halo LT system?  If so, how is it?
