[QUOTE="Hawkshere, post: 1586424, member: 2417"] Kinda.., yes. As mentioned, all the original Traveller (what has come to be known as Classic Traveller, or CT) books are currently available in a reprint series published by [URL=http://www.farfuture.net/ffe/n0000.html]Far Future Enterprises[/URL]. FFE is basically Marc Miller, the game's original creator, who still owns the rights to Traveller. Additionally, the T20 material published by [URL=http://www.travellerrpg.com/]QLI/RPGRealms[/URL] is dual statted for both T20 and CT. Setting material like the [URL=http://www.travellerrpg.com/Gateway/]Gateway to Destiny[/URL] sector book are largely edition independant. They also sell a cheap reprint of the orignal CT core books [URL=http://www.travellerrpg.com/cgi-bin/catalog/pview.pl?action=view&stocknum=ffe000&h=header_ct&s=]here[/URL]. Traveller does include some mild, fairly low powered psionics, and on the scifi 'hardness' scale registers closer to the middle than the extreme. FTL travel, power generation, and gravity technology are extremely advanced, while other areas are more modest. No blasters or light sabers, etc. Jovian Chronicles would appear to be a significantly harder setting - no FTL travel, etc. Athough this doesn't help you now, another scifi game setting originally published by GDW is getting an update in the future. 2300AD was a much harder scifi setting that featured FTL, but otherwise was pretty gritty near-future sort of setting (its setting is a continuation of the Twlight:2000 timeline, IIRC). 2300AD has been out of print for years. It looks like QLI has picked up some of the rights, and is doing a T20-based update game called [URL=http://www.travellerrpg.com/2320/]2320AD[/URL]. At the rate that QLI gets products made, there's no telling how long the wait on this will be, but it's something to look for in the future. [/QUOTE]
