One huge, galaxy spanning campaign world that includes hundreds of thousands of star systems. All of the campaign world or setting materials from past versions of the game are usable with T20; background detail is background detail. The only thing that is different is the game rule mechanics: character creation, combat, etc. The concepts behind the rules are still the same, it's just a different way of achieving the desired results, to make it compatible with d20.There are some campaign setting supplements available for free on the Traveller RPG website. This is for a small cluster of worlds in a part of the Official Traveller Universe known as the Gateway Domain. This is enough to get a new campaign started. There is a complete Gateway Domain sourcebook being made just for T20; it will be coming out soon. Other T20 setting products will concentrate on the Gateway Domain, focusing on in-depth information about areas of this Domain.Most of the campaign setting information available on the Internet is not "some fanboy's silly campaign world," as you put it. Most of it is the Official Traveller Universe information from past supplements long out-of-print. Some of it has been expanded upon by individuals, but that is part of the Traveller system. The game gives you maps of space, basically where all the star systems are located. And it gives you a profile of that world, sort of a basic stat block for it. The details for many of the systems are left for each Game Master to develop as he or she wishes. Just as part of the D&D game worlds are left open for DM's to design as they wish.Some star systems have been detailed by the game designers. That information is available in various products, some of which are out-of-print, but the info is available on the Internet.Most of the Internet Traveller sites out there which contain original material contain things like spaceship designs and deck plans, new equipment and weapons, new alien races, flora and fauna. You can use this or not, it's up to you.</blockquote>
