Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lurks-no-More" data-source="post: 3688919" data-attributes="member: 8226">Mongoose has a twofold problem to deal with the new Traveller.First off, they need to modernise the game so that they can get new players into it; this means decoupling at least some of the setting-defining stuff from the rules (such as the one-week jump drive), which turn everything you do with Traveller into some variety of the OTU (which suffers from its greatest asset: the wealth of history and information that already exists about it; not the easiest setting for the new fans to get into).At the same time, they must somehow manage to not antagonise the existing Traveller fanbase, which has a very high level of "grognardity": old fans who scream bloody murder if you change anything, and who already own several versions of the game.If Mongoose can balance these two factors, they may have a winner in their hands; besides GURPS Space, there's a dearth of major SF games on the market, and an updated, improved Traveller could fill that position very nicely.</blockquote>
