[QUOTE="Charles Dunwoody, post: 7737074, member: 17927"] I appreciate that. In the review I point out it is built on Mongoose Traveller 1E and classic Traveller. You are reading a review at EN World. Do you honestly not know why 2nd editions are done for RPGs? And to give you the benefit of the doubt, even if you don't know why RPGs get 2nd editions do you believe a 600 word review on an RPG game website is the right place to explain why RPGs get 2nd editions? I don't. Traveller (by Mongoose the 2nd edition) is a complete RPG in one book. It is great sci-fi adventure and even includes a sample setting. The review does not need to cover more than the book itself. It is a review. If you honestly need some insight into 2nd editions, check this out: [URL="http://paizo.com/pathfinderplaytest/faq#v5748eaic9we0"]http://paizo.com/pathfinderplaytest/faq#v5748eaic9we0[/URL] And a quote from that 2nd edition: Why publish a new edition? When we created the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game back in 2008, we'd already built up a decade of professional experience with the 3.0 and 3.5 rules and had a pretty good idea how they could be improved to make the game more fun, easier to teach, and better at telling the kinds of fantasy stories we like. Ten years later, we've had similar experiences with our own game, with a similarly long list of things we can improve upon. [/QUOTE]
